📊 Match recap and data context

Hearts held Benfica to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League, a result that saw our model's 45% pick for a Benfica win miss the mark. The Scottish side, winless in their last five matches, found the net despite Benfica arriving unbeaten across five games. Both teams scored, continuing Benfica's recent pattern of both-teams-to-score outcomes. The draw leaves the tie finely balanced heading into the return fixture. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
