Standard Liege vs Benfica Free Betting Tips

Distance duel between Benfica Lisbon and Glasgow Rangers in this Pool D.

While the Scots will be moving on the lawn of Lech Poznan, 3rd with 3 small points and already eliminated, this Thursday, the Portuguese will go to the Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège to challenge Standard. Also out of the race for the qualification, the Belgians will have for only stake the fact of saving the honour, by not finishing last of the group. This will require doing better than the Polish club on this sixth and final day, but it will not be easy against a Benfica team who still have a goal in this C3.

With 11 points, the Lisbon club is certainly second but tied on points with the leaders, the Glasgow Rangers. The latter having taken the best in the double confrontation thanks to away goals (2-2 at home, 3-3 away), they will therefore remain first in the event of a tie. For Benfica, the equation is therefore simple: in order to take the lead, it will be necessary to obtain a better result in Liège than the Scottish club in Poznan.

Key stats for the match Standard Liege vs Benfica

Standard are eliminated from this Europa League.
2nd with 11 points, Benfica can still go for first place if they do better than Glasgow Rangers on this last day.
The Belgian club suffered 4 defeats in 5 games during this group stage of C3.
In the first leg, the Portuguese club outclassed their opponent by a score of 3-0.
At home against the other favourite of the group, Rangers, the Liège club had logically been beaten by a score of 0-2.
After a bad patch, the SLB is back in shape, with 4 wins and 1 draw in its last 5 matches in all competitions.
This weekend, Standard will have a perilous trip to La Gantoise to negotiate. This game without a stake should not be the priority of Philippe Montanier and his men.

Between a Standard team already eliminated and demobilized, and a Benfica formation which can still go for a first-place which could be of great importance at the time of the draw, the choice is quickly made.
