Bayern Munich are one of the most uncomfortable teams in the world to play against. They can easily beat any team in the UEFA Champions League. The team of Niko Kovac has not lost in the Bundesliga yet this season and has scored lots of goals there. In their last four away matches Die Bayern scored thirteen goals and conceded only one which was an incredible result for them. In their last three matches overall Bayern Munich beat Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-1 score, Stuttgart with a 3-0 score and Chicago Fire with a 4-0 score.
The last fixture between Benfica and Bayern Munich at the Estadio da Luz happened in 2016 when the Aguias were able to draw with a 2-2 score against Die Bayern. Even though the team of Rui Vitoria have been showing good performances in front of their home crowd recently they have to face the crazy German opponent now who are likely to place first in the whole Group C. Thereby it is likely that the team of Niko Kovac will get the victory in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win.
