Benfica are looking to make it three wins from three in their Europa League campaign as they travel to face Omonia Nicosia. As Águias beat AC Milan away in the opening round of fixtures before a comprehensive 4-1 victory at home to Celtic. They've also enjoyed an excellent start to their domestic campaign, sitting in second place in Liga Portugal after six wins and a draw from their first eight games.

Omonia Nicosia are unbeaten in their domestic league after three wins and three draws in their opening six Cypriot First Division games. The Queen have also won their opening two Europa League matches after victories against Celta Vigo and Celje. While Nicosia are in good form, they rarely face a side with the quality of Benfica. Of the Portuguese giants' last six, they've won five of them scoring 16 goals in the process.

For our prediction, we can't imagine anything other than an away win here and a comfortable one at that.
