Whatever happens in this game, Benfica will still end up on the bottom of the table in the Champions League Group C. However, that doesn’t imply that they won’t go for a win on Tuesday.

According to the Champions League rules, if two teams have the same number of points, their positions will be decided in relation to the goal difference in the games they played against each other. That means if Zenit and Benfica end up both with 7 points, Zenit will get to the Europa League knockout phase as the difference is in favor of Zenit and is 2-0. That means that winning this game means nothing to Benfica, except for keeping the heads up.

Unlike Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen need points in this game. If Bayer lose, they will end on the 2^nd spot. Same can happen even if they play draw on Tuesday, but for that Monaco would need to beat Zenit. That is why the best option for Bayer is to forget about everything else and focus on this match.
