The historical numbers lean clearly towards Benfica: two wins from two, an 8-2 aggregate scoreline, and victories both home and away in the 2020 UEFA Europa League group stage. The venue split reinforces that dominance, with Benfica having already beaten Lech Poznan convincingly in Lisbon. However, the current season context narrows the perceived gap. Benfica’s Europa League campaign shows a powerful attack and strong home record, while Lech Poznan’s unbeaten run, high scoring rate and solid defensive metrics indicate a more mature and competitive side than the one that lost twice in 2020. Overall, the stats suggest Benfica retain a historical and home advantage, but Lech Poznan’s recent form points to a potentially tighter and more balanced contest this time around.
