REF’s picks

SL Benfica are in formidable attacking form and should comfortably pierce a leaky KKS Lech Poznan backline at the Estádio da Luz. Backing the hosts to score three or more goals aligns well with their recent European outings and the visitors' defensive struggles on the road.

1. 1Benfica have scored four goals in each of their last two Europa League matches, showcasing immense firepower through Pavlidis and Prestianni.
2. 2Lech Poznan have conceded heavily in Europe this season, shipping four goals to both Bayer Leverkusen and Crystal Palace.
3. 3Rotation or a drop in tempo once the game is safely won could slow Benfica down in the second half.
