Benfica away is historically a bad omen for Liverpool, who have lost their last three trips to face the Portuguese giants.
The most recent of those losses came way back during the 2009-10 Europa League campaign, so other than being an historical curiousity there isn't much to take away from it when looking at the current match-up between the sides.
If either club would be hoping for history to repeat itself, it would be Benfica. As Águias have fallen out of the title race in their domestic competition, with rivals Porto and Sporting pulling away from the pack to form a two-horse race for the crown. Benfica have hardly been inspiring in the league, either, winning just one of their last three matches before turning their attention toward Europe for Tuesday's match.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are arguably the hottest team in the world as the Reds continue to hunt down Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Jurgen Klopp's men will temporarily put their domestic aspirations aside in pursuit of Champions League excellence, and they'll look to use Tuesday's first leg to put themselves in good position for the return fixture at Anfield next week.
