Lech Poznan vs Benfica
UEFA Europa League

UK Home / CET
Venue: Stadion Miejski (Poznań).

The Polish Lech Poznan Ekstraklasa will host their Portuguese opponents in the EL group match. With teams like St. Liege and Rangers at stake, clashes with an inferior team like Lech should be the only ones to look for Benfica for points at the beginning of the group.

Lech will be the hosts after a 2-1 away defeat against Jagiellonia in the match against Ekstraklasa. Seeing as the three points could be a game changer for the Eagles, we can expect the away team to pull it all together in their next game.

Jorge Jesús and his men will be visiting after a four-match winning streak on their calendar, following a 3-0 away win over Rio Ave in their previous Premiera Liga clash. In two of their last three games, they have kept a clean sheet.

Lech Poznan vs Benfica Prediction

Lech Poznan are on a winning streak in Europa League games this season but will be host after an away defeat in the domestic league. The home team takes advantage of the field advantage in the game, which will be a consolation for Dariusz Zuraw who tries to win his team back from that defeat.

However, Ferroviários face a stronger side in the mix for the next match. Benfica have won their last four games and it was CL's loss to PAOK that put them through to the EL group stage. With their strong midfield lineup, the Eagles likely pose a threat to the Polish team.

A full-time away win will likely be bettors' best bet to earn decent returns on Thursday's game. In addition, the visitor has won seven consecutive games in the Portuguese first division this season in recent times on their calendar.
