Benfica vs Hearts Live Streaming, TV Channels, Kick-Off Time, & Match Info - Europa League

Benfica are all set to take on Hearts in the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League qualifier playoffs, with the first leg being played at the home ground of The Eagles. It has been almost 66 years since they last played on the European stage, when Benfica clinched a 5-1 victory in the first round of the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League).

SL Benfica finished agonisingly second in the league last season, even after managing not to face a defeat in the entirety of the campaign. Jose Mourinho departed for Real Madrid, and Marco Silva took charge after managing four different clubs in England, but he hasn't had the kind of start we would have liked.

His team suffered a 2-1 defeat to St. Gallen in the first leg of the second round of the Europa League qualifiers, before coming back to win 5-0 in the second leg, where Vangelis Pavlidis scored four.

On the other hand, Hearts of Midlothian suffered a major heartbreak last season when they lost the league to Celtic on the very last matchday, which prevented them from becoming the first Scottish club apart from Celtic or Rangers to win the Premiership since 1985.

The setback was followed by the departures of manager Derek McInnes, captain Lawrence Shankland and key midfielder Cammy Devlin; all of them went to Rangers, leaving Hearts with a big rebuilding job on their hands.

Wouter Vrancken, the former Sint-Truidense VV manager, was roped in to lead the squad, but had a nightmare start to his era as Hearts were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers by Sturm Graz by an aggregate of 6-0, ending their first-ever appearance in UEFA's premier club competition after just 180 minutes of football.
