Bayern Munich vs Benfica prediction
Since the 4-1 humiliation at the hands of Barcelona in their last Champions League game, Bayern have bounced back by winning 3 consecutive Bundesliga games and scoring a total of 12 goals without conceding any. They will be hoping to bring this wonderful form to the UCL where they are struggling. Bayern will be keen not to drop any more points here, considering that they have lost their last 2 UCL games and pressure will be mounting on Vincent Kompany if he can’t get a win here.
Benfica started their UCL campaign very well with 2 wins in their opening 2 matches before a surprise 1-3 loss at home to Feyenoord on matchday 3. Things are likely to get tougher when they travel away to Bayern Munich, a team that has beaten them in all the last 4 head-to-head matches. While Germany is not a good hunting ground for Benfica from previous results, they have a generally good away form and will be hoping that can help them get a result here.
Bayern go into this game as overwhelming favorites since they are in great form and are playing at home. The head-to-head stats also show that it will be difficult for Benfica to get a result here. We expect Bayern to dominate from the start and go on to win this game. Our Bayern Munich vs Benfica prediction is Halftime/Fulltime, Bayern/Bayern.
