Probable line-ups for the match Bayern Munich vs Benfica Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer – Alphonso Davies, Kim Min-jae, Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Guerreiro – João Palhinha, Joshua Kimmich – Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise – Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich Vincent Kompany's charges suffered a heavy away defeat to Barcelona (1:4) in the last round. As a result, Bayern Munich experienced their second consecutive defeat in regular time in the Champions League for the first time since 2014. The Germans have three points, which places them only 23rd in the tournament table. It's worth noting that the team has scored ten goals in the group stage, trailing only Borussia Dortmund (12). Defenders Josip Stanisic, Tarek Bouchamaoui, Hiroki Ito, and Sasha Boey, as well as midfielder Alexander Pavlovic, will miss out due to injuries. The team has not lost in regular time in their last 17 home matches in the UCL (13 wins, 4 draws). At least three goals were scored in 5 out of 7 of the club's previous home matches in this European cup. The Germans have conceded more than one goal in regular time in just 12 out of their last 15 home matches in the Champions League. Benfica In the last round, Bruno Lage's team was defeated at home by Dutch side Feyenoord (1:3). The loss was unexpected as in their previous Champions League encounter, they thrashed Atletico Madrid with a 4:0 scoreline. Consequently, Benfica ended their 3-match winning streak in the Champions League and, with six points, fell to the 13th spot in the tournament table. Forwards Gianluca Prestianni and Tiago Gouveia will be sidelined due to injuries. The club has not lost in regular time in 12 out of their last 14 away matches in the Champions League (8 wins, 4 draws). At least three goals were scored in 5 out of 7 of the team's previous away encounters in this European cup. The number '1' appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 7 out of the last 9 away matches of the Portuguese side in the UCL. Bayern Munich vs Benfica: match prediction The German top club is very strong at home and often achieves the maximum result: 13 wins in regular time in their last 17 Champions League matches. Furthermore, Bayern Munich won by a large margin seven times during this period, including a demolition of Dynamo Zagreb in the first round of the group stage – 9:2. Benfica, although rarely losing lately in away matches in this European cup, has suffered defeats in their last three visits to Munich in the UCL (2:5, 1:5, and 0:1). Both teams play very effectively in the European arena: Bayern Munich has hit the net 15 times in just their last four home matches in the Champions League, while Benfica in their previous 13 away encounters in this competition had only one match without scoring. I see the German club as the clear favorite in this encounter, and I also expect a high-quality attacking performance from both teams. My prediction: "Home Win and Over 2.5 Goals" with odds of 1.55.
