Midtjylland Preview – Can Midtjylland pull off miracle?
Following last week’s 1st leg 4-1 heavy defeat to the Portuguese side, Benfica, Tuesday’s hosts, Midtjylland have it all to do in this return leg at the MCH Arena and unless they can score an early goal, Midtjylland look to be on their way out of this competition.
Midtjylland have only ever reached the Champions League group stage once, when they finished bottom of the table with only two points in the 2020-21 season, and it looks unlikely this will happen this season unless they can pull off an amazing result against Benfica.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica continue amazing run?
Not only did Benfica inflict a comprehensive 4-1 victory over their Danish counterparts, Midtjylland, in last week’s 1st leg tie but the Portuguese side also scored 4 goals past Arouca in the subsequent Primera Liga game on the weekend, making it eight wins on the trot overall.
Benfica have also lost just one of their last seven Champions League ties away from home in recent times and have kept five clean sheets in the process, so the visitors look in good shape to progress here.
