Benfica Lisbon - FC Midtjylland: Form Analysis
Benfica are entering this fixture in an impressive run of form. Specifically, they won all of their pre-season friendlies, scoring seventeen goals in their five preparation games. They also ended their domestic campaign in strong form with three wins and just one defeat in their last five games. The Lisbon Eagles are a force to be reckoned with on home soil, with four wins on the bounce and just two losses against Porto and Liverpool in their last thirteen home games. They performed admirably in last year’s Champions League edition, reaching the quarter-finals and being eliminated from to be finalists Liverpool. Midtjylland showed the better character, prevailing against their Cypriot rivals Larnaca, after both games finishing 1-1. They have started the Danish league in mixed fashion however, with a draw and a loss in their first two games, yet a 1-5 win against Odense in their latest encounter. The key issue that needs to be addressed lies in theit defensive form. The Danish outfit have conceded in eight games on the spin and five of their last six away games. They tend to perform admirably on the road in recent outings though, having won an impressive eight of the last nine outings, and scoring more than one goal in five of those.

Benfica Lisbon & FC Midtjylland Squad Analysis
Benfica have bolstered their ranks with important units, purchasing talented winger David Neres and experienced midfielder Enzo Fernandez, both of which should be pumped for this one, yet the loss of talismanic striker Darwin Nunez who was sold to Liverpool will take some getting used to. Midtjylland will play in their classic 3-4-3 shape, with new signing Dreyer leading the line, and Onyedika and Sorensen providing vital cover in midfield as well as creative sparks for the Danish side to launch their attacks

Our Benfica Lisbon vs FC Midtjylland Prediction
Benfica dominated their summer friendlies, have a wealth of European experience under their belts and are rightly massive favourites to win this one. However, they have not sorted out their defensive issues and Midtjylland are adept scorers especially away from home, making Both Teams To Score the value pick in this one.
