Team News

Bayern
Benfica
  • With Aleksandar Pavlovic absent, Joao Palhinha should partner Joshua Kimmich in midfield.
  • Sacha Boey, Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic are also absent.
  • Benfica are without Gianluca Prestianni, Leandro Berreiro and Tiago Gouveia here.

Prediction

  • Bayern responded well to their humiliating 4-1 loss at Barcelona last month, winning three on the spin, during which they scored 12 and conceded none.
  • Similarly, Benfica bounced back from their surprise 3-1 home defeat to Feyenoord by winning three in a row.
  • Bayern are unbeaten at home this season, a record that should continue in midweek.

  • I didn’t understand if Benfica played a lot or Bayern didn't play much..

  • Bayern's goal was illegal. Fault on Tomás Araújo.

  • @hellreaper So, what else is new in the world?

  • @hellreaper Benfica parked the bus and faced 1-24 shots. Don't you think they should be happy to only have coceded 1 goal ?

  • @hellreaper lol

  • @DemonixX It's not "lol". It's a fact.

  • @hellreaper not a fact, otherwise VAR would have said so... Factually speaking.

  • @DemonixX Since when VAR have credibility when a top team plays with an average team?

  • Draw

  • if Bayern wont win vs Otamendi then Komapny should come back to Burnley ;)

  • Kabore is horrible and he is going to replace Alexander Bah. Also some other players are being rested so Bayern should win 5-1 or so

  • Benfica to victory in this match sure

  • Benfica resting the team to face Porto, put all your money on Bayern

  • Kane -160 / Musiala +175 / Kerem +500 TSA

  • Benfica could have rubbing salt into the wound situation tonight. Bayern are too fierce at home. Bayern o2.5 goals 1.85 odds

  • Bayern Win, Benfica will score

  • Another disappointed

  • Bayern Munich and Over 2.5 Goals in the game @ 1.65 Odds

  • Benfica 1,5+

  • Clear victory for Bayern

  • hi guys i was thinking maybe bayern+1.5 (1.39) or bayern or draw + 2.5 (1.5) which one is better

  • @yixic iknow it be goal and i cant see Bayern draw here just win

  • Unfortunately, as Benfica fan we will have a bad night here. I expect a strong entry from Bayern and after half a dozen corners around 30m for 2/3 goals. Second half more normal, with Bayern's typical mistakes and Benfica improving. Kane will score for sure and maybe Musiala. Benfica turkish magician to soften the defeat. Goal fest coming FT:3-1/4-2.

  • Can Benfica produce 5 corners?

  • @Meredith It will only depend how long it takes Bayern to score the first goal. Benfica is a team that produces lot of corners but wouldn't it be better Bayern have 7 corners?

  • over 1.5 first half goals

  • @FF2021 Hey bottie friend! It's a mans world! But it would be nothing nothing without AI! After the previous results from both teams (Bayern lost to Villa and Barca & Benfica lost to Feyenoord) I can foresee goals galore here! Both teams to score, over 2.5 goals and in the end.. Bayern will come out on top!
