Scottish side Hearts look set to bid farewell to the Europa League as they prepare for the visit of Portuguese giants Benfica. The two clash in the third qualifying round return leg, a tie that Benfica lead 6-1. Hearts have already lost four of their opening five matches, and our prediction is for a fifth here.
The hosts have had a few heartbreaks in recent months, and the first leg of this tie was one such. By the time Tom Renaud scored their only goal, the match was over as a contest, yet they still conceded two more.
They were on the night handed a fourth straight defeat to kick off their season. Here, though, they come with some positivity, having beaten Dundee United 4-0.
While Benfica were rampant in the first leg, their season hasn’t been entirely straightforward. In their opening game they suffered a 2-1 defeat away to St. Gallen in the second qualifying round.
They would, of course, overturn that with a 5-0 home win. The home match against Hearts followed, but even after their huge win, they were held to a 2-2 draw domestically by Academico Viseu.
With just one clean sheet in their four matches so far, Marco Silva’s men still have some work to do. On the positive side, they haven’t failed to score.

Our Heart Of Midlothian FC vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Benfica haven’t been all convincing so far this season, though they will still head into this encounter as favorites. They have shown a sharp edge in their attacking display, but there are still questions about their defending. Twice in their opening four games they conceded more than a goal.
Against a Hearts side looking to impress at home, we are not sure the Portuguese can manage a clean sheet. However, they still look strong enough to break Hearts. Our prediction for Heart of Midlothian v Benfica is that Benfica wins and BTTS.
