UEFA Europa League
Benfica's participation in the Europa League qualifiers so far looks like child's play. The Portuguese team recorded convincing victories against St. Gallen and Hearts, and is now on the verge of overcoming the Danish champion Aarhus. Last week, Benfica won the first leg 3-0 and was significantly the better team on the pitch.
Aarhus has not been convincing since the start of the seasonThe return leg will be in Denmark, which at least somewhat gives hope to Aarhus, but the team's performance this season does not inspire much confidence. In their first four league matches, the Danes still have not recorded a single victory. Now they need to seek to erase a serious deficit, while Benfica can afford to play much more calmly, having largely done their job in the first match.
Prediction: Victory for BenficaI do not expect necessarily another rout, as the Portuguese do not need to chase a convincing result at all costs. Aarhus will certainly try to attack and seek something from the return leg, but the difference in class seems significant. Benfica is clearly the stronger team and I believe they have a good chance to win in Denmark as well.
