Player to watch: Kerem Akturkoglu
Kerem Akturkoglu has arguably been Benfica's best player since he made the switch from Galatasaray a couple of months ago. The Turkish midfielder has been in sensational form this season, scoring eight times and registering three assists in his last eight appearances for club and country. Akturkoglu will fancy his chances against Feyenoord on Wednesday night.
