Benfica have another good season. In the Portuguese league, they will have a tight race with Sporting CP and Porto for the title, while in the Europa League, Benfica are among the teams that could go all over to the final game. Roger Schmidt's team are without a loss in the last four matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they played 2-2 on the road against Vitoria Guimaraes. Surprisingly, the home side was much closer to the win as they had xG of 2.34, while guests had 0.88.
The 2023/24 could be a horror for Toulouse. They collected only 20 points in 21 Ligue 1 rounds, so Toulouse could return to the second level of French football after only two seasons. Carles Martinez's team lost three of the last four matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 at home against Nantes. According to the stats, Toulouse dominated in that match, but Martinez's team still stayed empty-handed once again. Now, they will focus on the Europa League 1/16 final, but they will probably very soon refocus on Ligue 1, where they will wait for crucial battles to avoid relegation.
Benfica vs Toulouse pick: Over 2.5 goals
Benfica scored 11 goals in the last four matches. Also, all four games went over 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Toulouse allowed ten goals in the previous four games and went over 2.5 goals in three of those four matches. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie between Benfica and Toulouse.
Benfica team news
Benfica's head coach, Roger Schmidt, admitted that Benfica was lucky to take one point from the game versus Vitoria Guimaraes. He said that his team wanted to win, but it was difficult, but they saved themself in the final minute.
Benfica will be without injured Juan Bernat versus Toulouse on Thursday night. Besides him, all other players are available to Roger Schmidt.

Toulouse team news
Toulouse have two injured players for the upcoming Europa League tie. They will be without Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal. But we should say that neither player had a big role this season, so their absence will not be a big blow for Carles Martinez's team for the game versus Benfica.
