In the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 32, Benfica will face Toulouse in Lisbon. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Benfica
The Champions League 2023/24 campaign proved to be catastrophic for Benfica. Under Roger Schmidt's management, the team managed to secure the third position in the group stage only in the dying moments of the match against Red Bull Salzburg. Inter and Real Sociedad emerged as the top teams in this group. In the Primeira Liga, Benfica's performance is commendable, though not flawless. The "Eagles" lead the league table, but Sporting Lisbon shares the same point tally and has one match in hand. Over the weekend, Benfica played a draw against Vitoria Guimaraes (2-2).
Toulouse
During the Europa League group stage, Toulouse surpassed Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise and Austrian team LASK but predictably conceded the top spot to Liverpool. However, the French club managed to defeat Jurgen Klopp's team at home during the tournament. Currently, Toulouse needs to focus on avoiding relegation from Ligue 1. Under the management of Carles Martinez, the team occupies the 14th position with 20 points, with just three points separating them from the relegation zone. Toulouse suffered a 1-2 defeat against Nantes last Sunday.
