The Turin outfit are defending Italian champions and began their title defense with a draw away to Sassuolo over the weekend despite being the favorites.
Benfica, meanwhile, also started their campaign with a disappointing defeat to Torrense in the Portuguese Super Cup. They kick-started their league title defense with a shock goalless draw at home to Racing Power but have won two games since then, scoring 13 goals and conceding just one.
