In the previous qualifying round, they thrashed St. Gallen 5-0 at home, with forward Pavlidis scoring four goals, showing top-notch finishing efficiency in front of the goal. The home atmosphere is intense, and Benfica's possession-based and pressing style of play is well - developed. Their combination of wing runs and central attacking players constantly creates threats. Only two rotation midfielders and a fringe forward are injured, leaving the main offensive and defensive framework intact. Their goal in the first leg is to build a significant lead at home. On the other hand, Heart of Midlothian (commonly known as Hearts) has faced a disastrous upheaval this season. The head coach, captain, and top scorer all left during the summer transfer window.

Austin FC enjoys the advantage of playing at home. They dominate the game by controlling the ball, and look for goal - scoring opportunities through set - pieces and wing penetrations. The home atmosphere is electric. The team mainly secures points at home through solid positional defense. However, their offensive finishing efficiency fluctuates greatly, and they've been shut out in many matches. When the full - backs push forward, there are flaws in the back - field's coordinated defense and position - filling. Their league away - game defense has obvious loopholes, but their home defensive formation is relatively cohesive when they retreat. On the other hand, Tijuana has been in a stable form recently. They focus on building a midfield interception barrier in their formation, and are good at creating threats through short and quick counter - attacks after winning the ball. The team has achieved two consecutive clean sheets. Their defense stands compact and they won't blindly launch a
