Ooh la la! Supercomputer rates Benfica's Europa League hopes, brutal | OneFootball

Benfica tops a high-impact statistical analysis in international football for the current season. Opta’s supercomputer has placed the team in red as the leading favorite to lift the Europa League trophy.

The mathematical data gives the Lisbon club a 13.37% chance of winning the European competition. The projection puts the Eagles ahead of Bournemouth, who are on 13.11%, and Bayer Leverkusen, with 9.5%.

The analytical model also predicts that the Eagles have almost a 66% chance of advancing directly to the round of 16. The probability of reaching the quarter-finals is 61%, while their chances of making the final in Frankfurt stand at 24%.

The debut of the side managed by Marco Silva is scheduled for September 16 with a demanding away trip to Milan’s ground — Milan, featuring Pervis Estupinan. That will be followed by matches against Celtic, Omonia, Lech Poznań, Viktoria Plzeň, OFI Crete, NEC Nijmegen, and also AZ Alkmaar.

The Eagles’ ambition thus gains a strong statistical foundation on the eve of their start in the regular phase of the competition. Benfica fans dream of a victorious run that will culminate in the grand final scheduled for May 26 in Frankfurt, Germany.
