Bayern Munich vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
Bayern Munich have recovered from their shock 5-0 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach. They’ll be gunning for another win when they welcome Benfica at the Allianz Arena for the Champions League Group E clash. The German giants top this group with nine points, five ahead of the second placed Portuguese side. A win will secure top spot for Bayern here, and that’s what they’ll be targeting; they are coming from a 5-2 win over Union Berlin and will be very confident. That was the fourth time in five matches for them to score four or more goals and each of their last five matches now has produced over 3.5 goals. Bayern thrashed Benfica 4-0 away in the first meeting, and with five wins in six home matches this season, they head here with the favorites tag intact. In the Champions League, they have just one loss in the last 24 matches, and have won 22 of them.
Benfica are winless in their last two matches ahead of this game, both ending in draws with teams way inferior than Bayern Munich. They will need to bring their best in this game to avoid defeat. In the last meeting with Bayern, they capitulated in the final 20 minutes and conceded four times. Going to this game they will be in danger of dropping to third place in the group below Barcelona who travel to Dynamo Kiev. In their recent five matches, Benfica have failed to score in just one, but have one clean sheet only. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches, and they’ve conceded three or more goals in two of the five. Those two have produced over 3.5 goals and one of them is the defeat to Bayern. Away from home in the Champions League, Benfica have managed just one win in nine matches; they’ve lost five, including a 5-1 defeat at Bayern Munich. This is not a fixture Benfica really looks forward to; they’ve never beaten Bayern in their five earlier meetings, losing four, and they’ve conceded two or more goals in the losses.

Our Bayern Munich vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Benfica are in a very tough situation here; they have to win this to stay second, but not too many sides have beaten Bayern in the Champions League lately. Bayern are also scoring a lot lately and as a result their matches have seen plenty of goals. Over 3.5 goals is becoming common in their games and we are backing this too to hit those margins.
