Benfica vs Midtjylland Prediction: The Portuguese club will gain an advantage

Benfica will face Midtjylland in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Benfica

Benfica can hardly consider last season a success. Benfica finished only third in the Portuguese league table with 74 points in 34 games. Therefore, they only qualified for the Champions League. They played five friendlies in July and claimed victories in all competitions (17:5). 

Midtjylland

Midtjylland finished second in the Danish league last campaign, three points behind first-placed Copenhagen. The new season has already started, where the team won once, drew once, and lost once in three rounds. It should also be noted that they were part of the last round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying, where they dramatically beat AEK Larnaca on penalties (2:2, 4:3).

Expert Betting Tips

We agree with the betting experts and consider Benfica the clear favorite. With the support of the Lisbon fans, the home side will be in a good position. They failed to impress in the last qualifying round, experiencing problems with a modest Cypriot club. Therefore, we expect a confident win for the Portuguese side. Prediction: victory for Benfica with a handicap (-1.5).
