Aarhus have a mountain to climb in the return leg after Benfica claimed a 3-1 victory in the opening encounter, with the Danish side now needing to produce something special to keep their European hopes alive. Their recent form offers little encouragement, as they are winless in four matches and have conceded 2.00 goals per game across their last 10. Aarhus have also seen BTTS in an impressive 80% of those matches. Tingager, Poulsen, and Gyamfi are all ruled out through injury.
Benfica, meanwhile, are firmly in control of the tie and arrive with plenty of fresh legs after having no domestic fixture at the weekend. The Eagles have won 60% of their last 10 matches, scoring a remarkable 3.20 goals per game, while their xG stands at an impressive 2.41. Marco Silva's men should have enough quality to see the job through, with Vangelis Pavlidis once again expected to lead the line.
As Benfica have a huge quality advantage and producing fine performances at the start of the season, Away Win should be considered. Additionally, Benfica Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total markets seem temping as the Eagles average 4.20 total goals per game.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 19:00.
