- 本菲卡在过去的七场主场比赛中赢了六场，其中五场有三个或更多进球
- 图卢兹在过去七场客场比赛中有四场丢了两个或更多球
- 图卢兹在本赛季欧联杯小组赛的三场客场比赛中全部进球
本菲卡重返欧联杯
周四，本菲卡将在卢兹球场举行的欧联杯附加赛中主场迎战图卢兹，届时他们将遭遇一些挫折。
葡萄牙联赛领头羊是现阶段参加比赛的八名欧冠出局者之一，但他们可能是最幸运的，在积分和净胜球方面与排名第四的萨尔茨堡红牛持平后，获得了第三名。
Roger Schmidt’；上周末在主场2比1输给南特的图卢兹队目前在XI队的首发阵容中表现出色，替补席上也有更多的天赋。里斯本的一个积极结果应该会让他们轻松进入下一轮，但他们必须小心，因为图卢兹在击败利物浦时展示了他们如何在主场提高比赛水平。
图卢兹不会坐视里斯本
Carles Martínez Novell’；s的球队本赛季在21场法甲比赛中只进了20球，但在杯赛中更具威胁性。他们参加了小组赛的所有三场客场比赛，包括在安菲尔德以5比1落败的比赛，并将在鲁兹球场进行尝试。
这并不一定意味着他们会在本周四进球，因为本菲卡在过去六场主场比赛中有三场保持零封对手，但这应该会增加比赛至少进三球的机会。
无论如何，老鹰队在过去九场主场比赛中的六场比赛中都进了三球或更多球，应该相信他们会在这场不仅仅有几个难忘时刻的比赛中取得首回合领先。

Benfica back among the smaller fish in Europa League
Benfica will take some beating on Thursday when they host Toulouse in the Europa League play-off round at Estadio da Luz.
The Portuguese league leaders are one of the eight Champions League dropouts to enter the competition at this stage, but they were perhaps the luckiest to finish third after finishing level on points and goal difference with fourth-placed Red Bull Salzburg.
Roger Schmidt’s side are easy on the eye and have more talent on their bench than Toulouse, who lost 2-1 at home to Nantes last weekend, have in their starting XI at the moment. A positive result in Lisbon should ease their path to the next round, but they will have to be careful because Toulouse showed how they can raise their game at home when they beat Liverpool.
Toulouse will not sit back in Lisbon
Carles Martínez Novell’s side have only scored 20 goals in 21 Ligue 1 matches this season, but have been more of a threat going forward in the cups. They registered in all three of their away group stage matches, including in a 5-1 defeat at Anfield, and will give it a go at the Luz.
That does not necessarily mean they will get on the scoresheet this Thursday as Benfica have kept clean sheets in three of their last six home games, but it ought to increase the chances of the game featuring at least three goals.
The Eagles have scored three or more goals in six of their last nine games at home anyhow and should be trusted to earn a first-leg lead in a game that has more than just a couple of memorable moments.
