Benfica looking to be on top form in this tough tie
One defeat in 15 games since the start of the season proves that Benfica’s season is on the right track. In effect, the Eagles had their best victory of the season by beating Barcelona on matchday two by 3-0. That was Benfica’s first win over Barcelona in 30 years and may pave the way for them for the knockout stages.
Coach Jorge Jesus’s team scored in all of their last ten matches which shows their fine scoring form. Furthermore, Benfica have an average of two goals per match in their last ten outings and will. A cause of concern for Jesus, however, will be his team’s defense as they had one clean sheet in their last four home games.
Bayern Munich looking to keep their 100% record
German giants Bayern Munich on their part are having an incredible season with just one defeat all season. In fact, their nine-match winning streak was interrupted by a home defeat in the Bundesliga two weeks ago. In the Champions League, Bayern won their two matches scoring eight and conceding no goals.
Incredibly the Bavarian’s last ten matches saw them score on average 4.8 goals. Also with five clean sheets in their last ten matches, Julian Nagelsmann’s team conceded two goals in a match just twice this season. Undoubtedly, Bayern are one of the front candidates to win the Champions League and they travel to Lisbon as always to win.
Benfica vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This will be a real test for Benfica as they are the underdogs in this match with odds of 7.40. Not only the Portuguese are winless against the Germans since 1976 but also lost the most recent CL meetings in 2018.
Surely it will take an enormous defensive effort from Benfica to stop Bayern’s offense. However, it is important for Jesus to be quick on the counters to break the German high pressing.
According to the stats, there is an 80% chance we will see over 2.5 goals scored in this match. And the odds are 1.51 at Vbet for that. Considering their scoring record we think it is a great possibility. Hence to have better odds we will choose a double chance and total goals combo from Vbet.
