Bayern Munich vs. Benfica prediction, odds and tips

Bayern Munich have left themselves little room for error after two defeats in the Champions League, but the Bundesliga leaders should take all three points when Benfica visit the Allianz Arena. Last month’s 4-1 defeat at Barcelona, ​​which was more devastation than defeat, will serve as a warning for the eventual course of the competition. But at the moment, Vincent Kompany’s team has all the resources to collect the necessary points in the upcoming games against Benfica, PSG, Shakhtar Donetsk, Feyenoord and Slovan Bratislava. After all, it was only a few months ago that Bayern defeated Dinamo Zagreb 9-1 at home, and there have been goals again and again in recent meetings with other Bundesliga teams.

Benfica have picked up six points so far with an away win in Belgrade and a home win against a woeful Atletico Madrid, but beating Bayern is another matter. Bruno Lage’s side picked up a 2-1 win at Farense on Saturday in preparation for this trip, but will be forced to defend for long stretches – unlike most of the games they play in Portugal. Betting on Bayern to win with at least three goals in the game seems like a fair expectation for how the game should go.
