LiontipsBenfica - Hearts: betting tip (cf 1.87) and bets on the Europa League match
Command Analysis
In the Europa League qualification, Benfica started from the second round and immediately sensationally lost on the road to the modest Swiss St. Gallen with a score of 1:2. That setback clearly added motivation to the players, in the second leg the eagles did not leave any chances to the opponent, they scored a crushing home victory with a score of 5:0. Between these matches, there was also a sparring match with Belenenses, where they managed to win 5:1. It is obvious that Benfica is gaining momentum, Marc Silva is successfully putting his football on after taking over as head coach from Fulham.
Hearts almost sensationally became the Scottish champion last season, but at the very end they couldn't stand the competition from Celtic. The Edinburgers got a ticket to the Champions League qualification, where they immediately failed, they could not resist the Austrian Assault (0:4 and 0:2). Moreover, in the first round of the Premiership, there was an insulting defeat by Aberdeen (1:2), although Hearts led 1-0 in that meeting until the 90th minute. The obvious problems in defense are largely related to injuries to two key defenders, Holkett and Kinglesley, who will not play today.

Benfica has been improving significantly from match to match at the start of the season, with the Eagles scoring 10 goals in the previous two meetings. Clearly, Marc Silva has found an approach to the players, has identified the key players in all positions. Hearts was not ready for European Cup battles, which was clearly evident in the matches against Sturm. Plus, the Scots have significant losses in the squad, today they will play without two key defensive players, Holkett and Kingsley. It is important for Benfica to create a foundation for themselves at home before the return game, we are waiting for a confident victory from the hosts.
Our prediction is that Benfica will win with an Asian handicap (-2.5) for a coefficient of 1.87
