Benfica travels to Denmark for the second leg of their Europa League playoff, where they will face AGF Aarhus. After a 3-1 victory in the first leg, Benfica is one step away from securing their spot in the European competition. Marco Silva, the team's coach, is expected to maintain the same strategy that led to success in the first match, according to reports.

On the other hand, SC Braga is also gearing up for a significant challenge in Europe, heading to Austria Wien. The team holds a two-goal advantage from the first leg, played at the Pedreira, and hopes to secure passage to the group stage of the Conference League. Braga enjoys a week of rest ahead of this confrontation, which could be an advantage for the Gverreiros.
