Benfica are tipped to win against Lech Poznan with both teams to score in their Liga Portugal / Champions League clash. Benfica have won 14 of their last 15 matches but have managed only one clean sheet in their last six, showing some defensive frailty. Lech Poznan have struggled defensively in Europe, conceding four goals each to Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen. Over 3.5 goals is also recommended, supported by both teams' recent high-scoring games and Benfica's attacking strength.

Lech Poznan conceded four goals in defeats to Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen. The Polish club are likely to find Benfica just as difficult, over 3.5 goals my best bet in the Europa League.

Stats


  • Benfica have won 14 of their last 15 matches.
  • Benfica have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 9 home matches.
  • Benfica have seen over 3.5 goals in 9 of their last 12 home matches.
  • Lech Poznan have seen over 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches (Europa League).

HTH


These clubs met in the 2020/21 Europa League group stage, winning 4-2 in Poland and 4-0 in Portugal.

Benfica in Fine Form


Benfica have won 14 of their last 15 matches, the only blip a 3-1 defeat at Porto where Clément Lenglet was sent off in the first half. 

The Eagles have won all three matches in the Europa League, starting with a 2-0 victory at AC Milan. They have now scored 10 goals with one conceded.

Marco Silva’s side are coming off a 1-0 win against Alverca in Liga Portugal. Vangelis Pavlidis’ penalty was the difference as they ended with 4-4 shots on target.

Lech Outclassed in the Europa League


Lech Poznan haven’t won back to back games since early September. They suffered two heavy defeats in the Europa League, 4-0 at Crystal Palace and 4-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Niels Frederiksen’s side stopped the slide with a 1-1 draw against Sunderland, an entertaining clash with both teams registering over 2.5 xG.

The Polish club have won their last five matches in the Ekstraklasa, the latest a 3-1 victory against Wisla.

Verdict

Benfica have won all three matches in the Europa League, scoring 10 goals in the process. The Eagles should be too strong for Lech Poznan who have already been outclassed by Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen.
