Projected final score: 1-3<\/h3>

Benfica's superior squad depth and European pedigree make them strong favourites to progress, with 1.42<\/a> reflecting their class advantage. Hearts arrive on a two-game losing run and are severely weakened by Craig Halkett's absence at centre-back, leaving their defensive line exposed against one of Portugal's most attack-minded attacks.<\/p>

A four-goal total feels appropriate given Benfica's attacking ambition and Hearts' compromised defence, but Hearts retain enough home-crowd motivation to find the net at Tynecastle. 1.61<\/a> aligns with this outlook, as a completely shut-out home side would be surprising despite the quality gap between these two squads.<\/p>
