Game Preview
Benfica managed to claw out a tie in the first meeting at the FIFA Club World Cup against Boca Juniors despite being two goals behind. It was 2-2 in the end. After that, the Eagles had a much easier task, with them beating Auckland 5-0.
The game against the team from New Zealand was the first after 5 consecutive in which Benfica both scored and conceded a goal. It was also the Eagles’ first win following 4 games.
Bayern’s start was furious, with them trashing Auckland 10-0. After that, the Bavarians beat Boca Juniors 2-1. The latter was a routine win for Kompany’s boys who were far better than the Argentinians who defended all the time.
Only one of the past 10 games Bayern played ended without three or more goals. They have recorded three clean sheets in their last four meetings and have scored twice or more in their previous nine consecutive matches.
Benfica vs. Bayern Munich Head to Head
Benfica didn’t beat Bayern Munich since 1976. The two met in the last UCL campaign, with Bayern winning at home 1-0. Overall, the Bavarians won in the past 5 straight against this rival.
Benfica vs. Bayern Munich Predictions
The Eagles have been rather shaky lately, and if they play like that against Bayern, they won’t stand a chance. Meanwhile, the Germans have secured their spot in the knockout stage, and they will likely mix up their lineup but play as usual. That is the reason to pick over 2.5 goals.
