Benfica hosts Rangers in round 3 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 5th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
In fact, the Eagles have only lost once this season. However, perhaps it was the most important match against PAOK in the Champions League qualification. Because of that misfire, Benfica's stellar line-up went to play only in the Europa League. But within the framework of this tournament, it looks like a real grandee. First, Benfica managed to put the squeeze on Lech in Poznan. The Poles responded to the visitors' first and second goals, but Darwin Nunez scored a hat trick and brought the victory to the Eagles (4-2). The victory in the home meeting with Standard Liege was equally convincing. This time the Uruguayan didn’t leave his name in the minutes, but Benfica had someone to score. Pizzi scored a double, and Waldschmidt added one more goal between his goals, having converted a penalty.

The Light Blues finally have a chance to overtake Celtic in the local arena. In the new Scottish Premiership, they won 11 out of 13 matches and gained two draws. Beyond that, Steven Gerrard's men show a 100% result in the Europa League. The club from Glasgow started in the qualification and beat Lincoln, Willem II, and Galatasaray. In the group, FC Rangers didn’t show such scoring as Benfica, but the victories were quite confident. First, Standard received two unanswered goals in its native Liege. We had to expect a goal in the match against Lech for more than an hour, but the substitution of Stevie G worked. Morelos appeared on the field in the 63rd minute and scored the only goal after five minutes. One more victory will allow the Scots to get closer to the Europa League playoffs.
Under Steven Gerrard, FC Rangers has grown into a very tough rival who can create problems for anyone. However, the Scots will have to oppose an equally strong rival in Lisbon, and we offer you to bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win
