Ratings are our own 0-99 scale, built only from results data: ATT = 65 + 30 × log2(attack index), DEF = 65 − 30 × log2(defence index) (index 1.00 = competition average), FRM = 30 + 69 × points from the last 5 games ÷ 15, ELO = 60 + (Elo − 1500) ÷ 9, OVR = 30% ATT + 30% DEF + 20% FRM + 20% ELO. Each is capped to 1-99. The Manager style shows the same numbers on a 1-20 scale (rating ÷ 99 × 20). Ratings use only games before kick-off. Educational analysis, not betting advice.

Benfica (1st, 9 pts from 3) host Lech Poznan (32nd, 1 pts from 3) in the Europa League table as it stands. Benfica have scored 10 and conceded 2 in 3 Europa League games (3.3 and 0.7 per game). Lech Poznan have scored 1 and conceded 9 in 3 Europa League games (0.3 and 3.0 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Benfica LWWWW, Lech Poznan DLDLD. In the last 2 meetings on record, Benfica won 2, Lech Poznan won 0 and 0 were drawn. The goals model expects about 3.5–0.7. Benfica are clear favorites: Benfica 88%, draw 8%, Lech Poznan 4%. The single most likely score is 3–0, but even that only has a 11% chance. Elo ratings (Benfica 1758, Lech Poznan 1504) give Benfica an expected score of 86%, which agrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Europa League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
