Reason for Benfica vs Bayern Munich Predictions
Benfica has started this season on a high and will be looking to maintain the tempo when they play host to German giants Bayern Munich in Group E of the UEFA Champions League. Two points separate the two sides ahead of Match Day 3, Benfica second on four points and Bayern top with six points. The hosts go to this game looking to build on the 3-0 win over Barcelona. They have four wins in five matches, but just one clean sheet in the process, and failed to score in one game. Darwin Nunez is enjoying a fine run, with four goals in the last five matches, and after his two against Barcelona, he will hope to add a few here. Four of Benfica’s last five games have produced over 2.5 goals, and they have four wins in five home matches. They, however, have no clean sheet in the previous five home matches, which will be a problem as they head to face Bayern. Roman Yaremchuk finally shows his proper form and scores important goals. He creates a lot of problems for the opposing defenders. Pizzi found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy.
Bayern Munich is coming from a 5-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen – quite a statement of strength. Robert Lewandowski scored two in that rout, taking his tally for the club this season so far to 15. He has scored five in Bayern’s last five matches and will definitely be a man to watch here. While Bayern has been devastating in attack, they haven’t been very tight defensively. They’ve scored three or more goals in 10 of their last 11 matches, but they have just two clean sheets in their previous five games. Their fine run in attack is not confined to home matches; Bayern has scored 31 goals in their last seven away matches. They have one loss only in 23 Champions League games, winning 21. Serge Gnabry enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and heads towards the goal, the opponent has problems because he goes through the defense like a fast train. Robert Lewandowski was the best scorer in the Bundesliga last season with 41 goals, and he scored the most goals in Europe, a great player who does not spare the opponent’s net. All praise for him.
Conclusion
Bayern is the favorite in this match, and the winning streak is expected to continue.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. This clash should be a real treat for all football fans.
