Any stattos confirm? 3-3 away and 2-2 at home in the 20/21 season, and I think that's it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any stattos confirm? 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? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks both. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
