Midtjylland take on the visitors Benfica in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 1-4. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 9th at Arena Randers (Randers).
Midtjylland are off to a rocky start this season. The Wolves are rightfully considered one of the strongest clubs in Denmark, despite the relative youth of this football project. True, in the last draw, the confrontation with Copenhagen again ended in favor of the capital's team. The start of the new season in the domestic arena was unsuccessful, with an abundance of point losses. The Scandinavians played indistinctly in the Champions League. They recorded 1-1 at home with the Cypriot AEK, repeated the same result in Larnaca, but turned out to be better in the penalty shootout. But in Lisbon nothing really worked out: they conceded 4 and could answer with one goal only.

Benfica start new era. The Eagles had previously counted on progress under Georges Jesus. Under this specialist, many expensive and star players were invited, but without much success. In the summer, a new coach appeared in Lisbon, Roger Schmidt, who showed himself well at PSV. At the same time, the Portuguese could not resist the temptation to capitalize on Darwin Nunez, who was acquired by Liverpool. These funds (they also sold Everton, Jota and other players) made it possible to carry out a serious campaign for the purchase of newcomers, among which we will single out the David Neres from Shakhtar and Enzo Fernandez from River Plate. Both the new mentor and a number of players were able to make their debut just last Tuesday. And it turned out great: Goncalo Ramos opened the score in the 16th minute, and in the 61st minute he already scored a hat-trick, Fernandez added 1 more.
Benfica will come to Denmark for the first time - they have not crossed paths with Midtjylland before. Benfica decided everything at home. So they can be complacent in Denmark. We recommend betting that Midtjylland will win with a handicap of "+1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win with +1.0 handicap.
