Benfica vs Qarabag prediction, odds & betting tips – 16/09/2025 ...Middle East

The UEFA Champions League group stage format kicks off with Benfica facing Qarabag next Tuesday at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. 

The Eagles come into this game in fine recent form, having won their first two league games but failing to make it three in a row following a 1-1 draw against Santa Clara in the Liga Portugal. 

On the other hand, the Horsemen’s recent form has not been impressive, with just two wins in their last five games in all competitions. They failed to build on their win before the international break and were held to a 1-1 draw by Zira in the Azerbaijan Premier League.
