With both teams struggling domestically the Europa League may present a welcome escape from national tournaments, with everything to play for after a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture.
Arsenal's turnover is more than twice that of Benfica, at €448.7 million (18/19) to €140 million (19/20) but the Portuguese club outperform in another key aspect.
Benfica recorded a profit on player sales of €125.7 million last season, while Arsenal's figure stood at €13.9 million the year before.
