Yeah but would they have taken five off the Hearts?

We have a decent record v Porto and Sporting(twice beaten them to reach a final iirc), whats our record like v Benfica? Any stattos confirm?

3-3 away and 2-2 at home in the 20/21 season, and I think that's it.

From memory.

 

We have played Benfica twice in Euro' competition, season 2020-21 in the Europa League group stages. We drew 3-3 in Lisbon and 2-2 at Ibrox.

 

Interestingly, the first time we faced Portuguese opposition in Euro' competition was during our ECWC winning run in 1971-72, the last sixteen round where we were the first team to progress on the away goals rule. Having defeated Sporting Lisbon 3-2 at Ibrox, we lost 3-4 in Lisbon; thus 6-6 on aggregate but, we scored one more away goal.

 

Since then, we have faced Porto on three occasions, six games winning 3 drawing 2 and, losing one. 

Braga on two occasions winning 3 and losing one.

Maritimo once, winning one and losing one. We went through on penalties.

Boavista once, winning both games.

Sporting on three occasions winning 2, drawing 3 and, losing 1.

 

In conclusion we have played various Portuguese teams in 22 competitive matches - winning 11 games, drawing 8 and, losing 3.

 

I suppose we should be optimistic?

Crazy given how much we and they would have been in Europe and our paths had not crossed until recently. Thanks both.
