Halliday predicts 'difficult evening' for Hearts
Andy Halliday believes former club Hearts face a stern examination against "Champions League outfit" Benfica. The Portuguese side host the Tynecastle club in Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round first leg. "They're a Champions League outfit," Halliday said of Benfica on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast . "I think they've proven that over the years. "They got to the play-off round in the Champions League last year. Rangers have faced Benfica more than a couple of times over the last few years and been on the wrong end of scorelines. They've got a couple of draws within that. "Take Hearts in the present moment, not being at their strongest either, and even if they were at their strongest, I think it's going to be a difficult evening. "And unfortunately, and I really hope I'm wrong, I think it's going to be a big scoreline tonight."
