Midtjylland vs Benfica Prediction: Danish club to do their best at home

Midtjylland will take on Benfica in the return leg of the Champions League qualification on August 9 at 20:45 (UTC+3). Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Things went wrong for Midtjylland on the road against Benfica. The team clearly did not plan to leave Portugal with four goals conceded. It was a good thing they managed to score at all. Otherwise, it would have been much sadder. In the return meeting, the Danish club will try to do everything possible to get to the next stage, but first of all, they need to regain the fans' trust, which slightly shook in the last match.

In their first match against Midtjylland, Benfica managed to earn themselves a great advantage before the upcoming away game. The Portuguese club won 4-1, which, in principle, could allow them to relax a little. It is also worth noting that Benfica got off to a great start in the national championship. They defeated Arouca in the first round, scoring four unanswered goals. 

Benfica is the favorite, which is not surprising at all. The Portuguese team outclasses the Danish team, but we still do not recommend to write off the hosts. The Eagles won't focus on offense in the return game, as it makes no sense to waste extra effort. Midtjylland will be playing to make up for the away defeat. Therefore, we believe that the opponents will exchange goals. 

Prediction: Both teams will score.
