📊 Match recap and data context

Benfica dismantled Hearts 6-1 in the Europa League, a result our model had favored at 61% probability. The pick landed cleanly. Benfica's recent form showed just one loss in five matches, yet they produced a dominant performance that bore little resemblance to their inconsistent run-up. Hearts offered minimal resistance despite arriving with similar struggles in their last five outings. The gulf in class proved decisive on the night. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
