Benfica vs AGF Aarhus Predictions
Benfica have the numbers for another big home return
Benfica have scored 11 goals across their last two European matches, while Thursday’s first leg gives them another home fixture after a 6-1 win over Hearts at the Estadio da Luz.
Their qualifying results have repeatedly reached similar levels. Benfica progressed 7-2 and 6-3 on aggregate in the previous two rounds, and they have scored at least three goals in three of their last four home games.
AGF have also given up plenty recently. The Danish champions lost 4-0 to Sabah in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier before a 2-1 defeat at Viborg, leaving them with six goals conceded across their last two matches.
Benfica have reached three goals regularly at home, so Benfica Over 2.5 Team Goals appeals at 1.61.

Benfica have a clean-sheet route to 3-0
Benfica have kept two clean sheets in their last five matches, and the first leg against AGF is at the Estadio da Luz, where they beat Hearts 6-1 in the previous qualifying round.
The Portuguese side then drew 1-1 in Edinburgh to complete a 7-2 aggregate win. Their recent European results give clear support to another home victory with several goals on the Benfica side of the score.
AGF’s latest European away match ended in a 4-0 defeat to Sabah after they had won the first leg 2-1 in Denmark. A 2-1 weekend loss at Viborg followed, making it two straight defeats and six goals conceded across those games.
Benfica have already produced a six-goal home win in this qualifying run and have two clean sheets from their last five, so I’m backing Benfica 3-0 at 7.00.
Tip: Benfica 3-0 @ with N/A
