Midtjylland vs Benfica 09.08.2022

Midtjylland will face off to settle their pursuit of the Champions League when they host Benfica in the second leg. After being beaten 4-1 in the first leg in Portugal, the “Eagles” will be raring on overtaking the visitors as they outshined them in a 5 goals thriller. With a very good run in the pre-season matches, Henriksen’s side has scored 10 goals in all competitions, They fought tooth and nail to progress to this stage when they beat Larnaca on post-match penalties.

The Portuguese outfits will be out to seal off the second leg after a successful first leg, but the drama is never out of sight when it comes to European League, it is hoped they will go out all ready to finish off with a three-goal advantage.

With most Champions League matches having a different form of euphoria, a very low-scoring encounter will most likely feature here as well and this by far, we foresee the Danish side putting one firmly foot into the next round.

Main tip: Over 2.5 Goals (go to tip details)
