When Bayern Munich took an early lead in the first leg, it looked like being another demolition job for the German champions. That wasn't to be though and they travel to Portugal with just a 1-0 lead to defend. At least they didn't concede an away goal which will make Benfica's task that little bit harder here. Benfica are in good form at present and have a two point lead at the top of the table over Sporting, winning 2-1 at Academica at the weekend. Champions League home form is decent too with just a defeat to Atletico Madrid in their four games. Bayern Munich just about clinched the Bundesliga at the weekend going seven points clear of Dortmund with just five games to go. Their away form in the Champions League hasn't been that great this season with a loss at Arsenal and being held to a draw by Juventus in the last sixteen. Benfica will have to come out and attack Munich to get back into this tie and making this a more open game could play into the hands of the visitors. I think Munich will qualify and I go for a bet of over 2.5 goals here.
