Benfica vs Celtic Preview
Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Estadio da Luz when Benfica welcome Celtic for their Europa League round 2 clash. The Portuguese giants made an excellent start to their European campaign by beating Milan 2-0 before recording an identical victory over Guimaraes in domestic action. Marco Silva's men have won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions, averaging 2.5 goals per game at home. Ukraine international Georgiy Sudakov is pushing for a starting spot after scoring off the bench against Guimaraes, while Clement Lenglet returns from suspension.
Celtic, meanwhile, have plenty of work to do after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Ferencvaros in their Europa League opener. The Scottish champions have struggled for consistency lately, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions. Their defensive problems are particularly concerning ahead of this trip, with Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Yang Hyun-Jun and Osmand all sidelined through injury. Celtic have also conceded 1.8 goals per game on average in their last five away matches, suggesting Benfica should find opportunities to exploit.
Benfica’s strong home form and Celtic’s defensive absentees point towards a comfortable evening for the hosts. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside Sudakov to Score or Assist and Benfica Over 1.5 goals.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 20:00.
