Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Benfica enter Matchday 4 as one of the strongest teams in the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League. Marco Silva‘s side have won all three of their opening matches, defeating AC Milan 2-0, Celtic 4-1 and Omonia 4-1. With nine points and a goal difference of +8, the Portuguese club sit at the top of the 36-team standings, having scored 10 goals and conceded just two.

Their opponents have experienced a considerably more difficult European campaign. Lech Poznan lost 4-0 against Crystal Palace in their opening fixture and suffered another 4-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 2.
They finally collected their first point in a 1-1 draw against Sunderland, with Leo Bengtsson scoring the equalizer. That leaves the Polish champions in 32nd place with just one point from nine possible.
The difference between the two teams is particularly evident in their attacking numbers. Benfica have scored 10 goals in three Europa League appearances, making them the competition’s highest-scoring team at this stage. Lech, meanwhile, have found the net only once and conceded nine goals, giving them one of the weakest defensive records in the tournament.
However, Lech Poznan have reasons to approach the match with confidence despite their European struggles. Niels Frederiksen‘s team defeated Wisla Krakow 3-1 in their latest domestic appearance, recording their fifth consecutive Ekstraklasa victory. They have collected 31 points from 36 possible and sit three points clear at the top of the Polish league standings.
