Bayern Munich have their scoring engines on
The number of goals scored in Bayern Munich games this season is enormous. In fact, even during their loss to Monchengladbach in the German cup tie Bayern lost by five goals. As for their UCL campaign so far, the Bavarians have an incredible 12-0 goals record in three games. That is exactly the same number of goals they scored in last season’s UCL first three games.
Remarkably all home matches of Bayern this season saw over 2.5 goals. In addition, coach Toppmoller’s team opened the scoring in nine of their ten Bundesliga games. Surely Bayern are serious contenders to win the Champions League this season. With an unbelievable scoring average of 4.8 goals per match, one can’t expect less than a goal galore in this fixture as well.
Benfica going to Bayern with low hopes
Benfica lasted 70 minutes against Bayern in the last match but completely collapsed and conceded four goals. Moreover, the home side had just 39% of ball possession and three shots on goal. Now that the second half of the games start, the Eagles will be happy to end their games with Bayern and focus on their next two games.
Surely, if Benfica wants to qualify to the knockout stages they must beat Dynamo Kyiv and Barcelona. That is if they lose again in Munich. Truly Benfica’s 3-0 win over Barcelona was a great one. However, Jorge Jesus knows they have to come up with a great result in Nou Camp to have a chance to qualify.
Bayern Munich vs Benfica Prediction
It is no surprise that Bayern Munich have an 80% chance of winning this match with the bookies. Also, the odds of 1.20 is another proof of which way this match is going. Indeed, almost all odds are quite low for this fixture involving Bayern so we have to check the markets.
According to the total goals market, there is a 65% chance of over 3.5 goals being scored. And the odds for that is 1.83 at Vbet. In detail, Bayern’s last six home games saw three or more goals. Likewise, Benfica’s last three of four away games saw three or more goals.
To conclude, we think the over 3.5 goals is a very probable outcome considering the stats. Coupled with the attacking style that Bayern adopts and the prolific goalscorers on their team, we will back that.
