What the stats tell us about Hearts vs Benfica

Benfica hammered Hearts 6-1 in Lisbon in the first leg — one of the most emphatic European qualifying results of the summer. Hearts would need to win the second leg at Tynecastle by five goals to level the aggregate. That is not going to happen. This game is about pride, Tynecastle atmosphere, and the secondary betting markets. Benfica will almost certainly progress; the only questions are whether Hearts can win the night's match for their supporters and how many goals are scored in an open, pressure-free second leg.

Result lean: Benfica to qualify (tie decided) — Hearts may win the second leg for pride

Corners: Hearts most corners at home — pushing forward from the start

Cards: Medium cards — less tactical intensity in a dead rubber
