Bayern Munich will look to continue their impressive form to reach a fifth straight Champions League semi-final when they face Benfica on Wednesday night. The German giants head into the second leg in Portugal with a slender 1-0 lead after Arturo Vidals early goal in the first leg last week.Benfica are looking to reach the final four of Europes premier competition for the first time since 1990 but face a tough task against Pep Guardiolas side after falling to defeat at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich are still on for the treble this season, and sit seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with just one competitive defeat in 2016.Benfica will certainly provide tough opposition though, and have won every league game bar one since December 15.Team newsBenfica could be without two of their star men for Wednesday nights clash with Jonas missing through suspension and Nicolas Gaitan nursing an injury. Benficas star man Nicolas Gaitan (right) is an injury doubt Julio Cesar and Nuno Santos are also out for the Portuguese giants, while Bayern are likely to be without Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng and Arjen Robben after the trio missed training on Tuesday.Medhi Benatia and Kingsley Coman did train though, and could play a part in Lisbon.Opta statsThe odds are firmly in Bayerns favour with the statistic that 68% of teams who won 1-0 at home in the first leg of a Champions League game have gone on to progress to the next round (19 out of 28).Bayern have also had the better of Benfica in previous meetings, knocking them out in each of their three previous home/away encounters in European competition (1975/76 European Cup, 1981/82 European Cup, 1995/96 UEFA Cup). Benficas Brazilian forward Jonas (centre) is suspended Bayern also went on to reach the final of the competition in each of those three encounters; something worth noting if they do head through on Wednesday night.Benfica have scored in all four of their home Champions League games this season, though, so expect goals from both sides in Lisbon.Bayern Munich are also winless in their last six away games in the Champions League knockout stages (D3 L3).BettingBenfica are up against odds of 8/1 to make the Champions League semi-finals despite having home advantage to overturn a single-goal deficit, with Bayern Munich just 8/13 to win on the night.Sky Bet find it difficult to see Pep Guardiolas men not scoring a potentially decisive away goal, with the hosts 9/2 for a clean sheet and Robert Lewandowski just 5/6 to score in 90 minutes. The Poland star heads the first goalscorer betting at 3/1 followed by Thomas Muller (4/1), while Kostas Mitroglou is rated the hosts main threat at 13/2 to break the deadlock.Bayern are currently second in Sky Bets Champions League outright at 2/1 with Barcelona 11/8 favourites, while Benfica are handed the longest odds of the final eight at 80/1 Pep Guardiola (right) is hoping to guide Bayern to their fifth straight Champions League semi-final Charlie Nicholas predictionIt was a very creditable result for Benfica in the first leg but I actually see this one suiting Bayern more and I think theyll just pick off their hosts as they chase what would be a sensational win.Benfica dont have the discipline and the crowd will be urging them to push forward, leaving room to Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski to exploit the space in behind.Charlie predicts: 0-2 and Lewandowski to score first (20/1 with Sky Bet)Follow Benfica v Bayern Munich with out live blog on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.

Nico Hernandez, who claimed a light flyweight bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August, is going pro.Hernandez, a 20-year-old from Wichita, Kansas, will make his professional debut on Dec. 10 at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, on the undercard of unified junior welterweight world champion Terence Crawfords hometown title defense against John Molina Jr.Hernandez, who does not yet have an opponent for his four-round bout, will fight as a 115-pound junior bantamweight after competing in Rio as a 108-pounder.Hernandez said he and his father/trainer Lewis Hernandez discussed the possibility of remaining amateur and trying to improve on his performance at the 2016 Olympics, but Nico said he really wanted to go the professional route.I made the decision because financially it would be better as a pro, Hernandez told ESPN on Thursday. If Im getting punched in the face, I might as well get paid for it. Now theyre letting pros go to the Olympics (as of the Rio Games), so theres really no point in being an amateur boxer anymore since the goal is to make it to the Olympics.At the Rio Games, Hernandez ended the medal drought for Team USAs male boxers, who had not won an Olympic medal since heavyweight Deontay Wilder claimed a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. Hernandez won a three-round decision against Ecuadors Carlos Eduardo Quipo Palaxti in the quarterfinals to clinch a bronze.Hernandez wasnt considered a medal favorite when the Rio Games began, but his Cinderella run ended with a decision loss to eventual gold medalist Hasanboy Dusmatov, of Uzbekistan, in the semifinals. Two bronze medals are awarded in boxing.Hernandez, who began boxing at age 9 and was approximately 122-13 as an amateur, returned home to Wichita as a hero. He was feted at a parade, and Wichita State University bestowed him with a four-year, full-ride scholarship.Hernandez went 3-1 during the Olympics and became the first American light flyweight to win a medal since Michael Carbajal -- who went on to have a Hall of Fame professional career -- claimed silver in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Hernandez said he plans to work toward a degree while boxing professionally.I definitely want something [to] fall back on, Herrnandez said.dddddddddddd.But he is anxious to start his pro career.I cant wait to go pro. Ive been wanting to for a while, Hernandez said. I fought without head gear already so it shouldnt be too much different.The 2016 Olympic tournament rules were changed to have the boxers fight without head gear.Although Hernandez will fight on a card promoted by Top Rank, he is not signed to Bob Arums company. Hernandez has a deal just for the one fight. He linked up with Top Rank because his father reached out to Pete Susens, who works for Top Rank but has deep roots in Midwest boxing.Lewis contacted Pete, and Pete called me about a month ago, said Top Rank matchmaker Bruce Trampler. I was a little reluctant because of his weight and being such a small fighter, but Pete said hes a good kid, a good fighter. I said, Let me think about it, and then the geography expert that I am realized Omaha is not too far from Wichita, so we said we would take a look at him.Lewis Hernandez said he expects about four busloads of fans to make the roughly six-hour trip from Wichita to Omaha for the fight.The people in Wichita know Nico, and the people in Omaha know Crawford, so you marry the two and it only adds to the card, said Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti. Weve had some internal discussions about whether we might want to sign him and if we do where we can take him. We want to see him as a pro. Its a small weight class, but maybe hes another Carbajal (who Top Rank promoted). Weve had experience in building Hispanic smaller-weight class fighters.Said Lewis Hernandez: We have other options, but we got to do whats best for Nico. Top Rank wants to take a look at him. Thats the purpose. I thought it would be great. We havent signed with nobody, but Top Rank is in contention. This is a good opportunity for both camps, for Top Rank and for us.Nico Hernandez said he is fine doing what amounts to a tryout for Top Rank.Im real comfortable with it, he said. I feel like once they see me fight and see what I have, opportunities will open for me, and I can sign with whoever is going to give me the best deal. ' ' '
