Benfica are the likelier winners
Market and odds
The side come into this one as a heavy favorite at 1.42, which is just about fair given the respective records and recent form of these two teams.
AGF are priced at 7.4, which is still too low for the outsiders as they're looking to back up their 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, though the draw does have potential at 4.7, which leaves a sliver of upset potential in Cepheus Park Randers.
Form and management
Benfica have won 6, drawn 2 and lost two of their last 10 in all competitions, which is a strong run of games by anyone's standards.
Marco Silva has really got his teeth into this Benfica side since taking charge on 1st July 2026 and they're playing with a controlled, high-pressing identity already.
Key attacking stats
- Benfica have been absolutely ripping it up at the sharp end of late and are coming into this with a 2-game winning streak.
- They thrashed Casa Pia Atletico 0-7 in their most recent Primeira Liga outing and beat AGF 3-1 when these sides met a week ago in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
- With 33 goals scored in their last 10 games, Benfica are averaging a league-leading 3.30 per match and Vangelis Pavlidis is their main menace, scoring 6 goals in 4 games in this competition alone.
AGF's are in a rut
AGF have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5 of their last 10 in all competitions, which is a pretty average run of results that they'll need to improve on if they're to progress in this European qualification campaign.
Jakob Poulsen has got the Byens Hold set up in a compact, disciplined shape, looking to flood the midfield and stay tight in the center of the field, but with plenty of speed and aggression in their press when they win the ball back.
They have been chasing games recently though with an average of 1.60 scored and 2.00 conceded per game across all competitions, which doesn't bode well here.
They lost 2-0 to Viborg FF in the Superliga at the weekend, following up their 3-1 defeat to Benfica with a 3rd consecutive loss.
Best bet is to back Benfica to outscore AGF
This should be a real control versus counter clash between two sides that can't play at their best when out of possession.
However, Benfica's attacking depth and pressing edge mean they are the more likely winners here, especially after they won 3-1 in the first meeting.
Over 2.5 goals is a big favourite at 1.53 and we're definitely on board, although both teams to score also seems a good bet at 1.7.
Benfica have a clinical attacking unit with great quality in every position of the pitch, but AGF should have the resolve to stay in the game and make this tight.
