Benfica vs Bayern Munich Match Preview & Team News

The hosts aim for the Primeira Liga title, and they have been on a good track so far. Benfica sits in the top spot in the domestic championship, but a defeat against Portimonense broke their perfect record. Jorge Jesus’s side has been doing well in the Champions League as well, as they are second, being two points behind their upcoming rivals. Roman Yaremchuk and the lads have been excellent in the front, while Benfica should tighten its defense. The Eagles want to remain in the top two on the standings and secure the playoff spot, and if they don’t lose this match, they’ll stay second. However, a very challenging task is ahead of them.

Bayern Munich heads to this game after a confident 5:1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on the road last weekend. Julian Nagelsmann’s side netted five times already in the first half, and they picked up three points much easier than expected. The Bavarians are first in the Bundesliga, and if they maintain this level of performance, another title is very likely. Robert Lewandowski and the lads have been dominant in the Champions League as well, as they booked two wins scoring eight goals in total. On the other hand, Bayern hasn’t been too tight in defense, and they kept the clean sheet just once on the previous four occasions. The visitors will go for another victory, and if they succeed, Bayern will be very close to securing a place in the knockout stage.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Benfica hasn’t been too convincing in the past two games, as they lost to Portimonense at home and cracked Trofense after extra time. On the other hand, Bayern is full of confidence, and we believe they’ll get back home with a win.

Goals Market Prediction

Both sides have been pretty efficient in front of the oppositions’ net lately, while their defenses haven’t been too tight. Benfica will try to stun their rivals, and we think both teams should be able to find the back of the net.
