Bayern M – Benfica Preview

Bayern Munich hosts Benfica at the Allianz Arena in a match from the league stage of the Champions League. The Bavarian giants have to step up their game because of poor results in the competition so far. Let’s preview it in our free soccer predictions daily.

Bayern Munich scored 9 goals against Dinamo Zagreb in their opening game, but after that things didn’t go good for them – Vincent Kompany’s team suffered two consecutive losses against Aston Villa and Barcelona. Now Bayern don’t have any other option, but to step up and bounce back. Winning against Benfica is a must.

Vincent Kompany can make some changes compared to the line-up against Barcelona – a match that Bayern lost by 1-4. You can be sure that Jamal Musiala will start on Wednesday while Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane could find themselves in the starting eleven, too.

Harry Kane remains Bayern’s most efficient player in the attack. The English international has five goals in the Champions League since the beginning of the season and 17 goals in 14 matches in total this season.

Benfica also lost their last match in the Champions League – 1-3 against Feyenoord at home. Kerem Akturoglu scored for the Eagles, but the Dutch side just played better.

Benfica’s manager Bruno Lage said that he doesn’t believe that Bayern’s win is guaranteed on Wednesday. Losing two consecutive matches in the tournament, Bayern clearly have some problems at the moment. And Benfica can exploit these weaknesses.

The veteran Angel Di Maria is one of the players in focus in Benfica’s team. The Argentine legend is still playing on very high level. His experience will be valuable in Munich tomorrow night.
