Benfica hosts Bayern Munich in round 3 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 20th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Benfica started their performances in the group stage of the Champions League with a goalless draw against Dynamo Kyiv. This was followed by a confident home victory over Barcelona (3-0). Thus, now the Eagles have four points and are on the 2nd line in the group standings. The gap to the 1st place is two points. Benfica scored at least one goal in the last eight home games in the Champions League. At the same time, the last time the Eagles failed to score at Estadio da Luz was in the match against Bayern Munich. I cannot but note that five previous games in the home arena ended with victories for the Portuguese. Beyond that, five of the last six home matches ended with Over 2.5 goals scored.

Bayern Munich looks very confident in the current Champions League. I think the Bavarians can be ranked among the main favorites of the tournament. In two previous matches, they scored six points and didn’t concede a single goal. I think that if the Munich team gains victory in the upcoming mid-weekend, it will secure the promotion to the 1/8 finals. Nine previous Champions League away matches of Bayern Munich have ended with victories. In addition, the team has scored more than one goal in 16 of the last 19 away matches in this tournament. Robert Lewandowski continues to show excellent results. The Pole has already scored four goals in two matches of the current Champions League.
I think that current Benfica is good enough to at least try to create problems for Bayern Munich. Yes, the Bavarians are stronger. In addition, they perform well on foreign pitches (nine victories in the last ten matches). Moreover, the Eagles have always had problems with this German club. But the charges of Jesus looked fantastic in the previous home match against Barcelona. If they show such a game against Bayern, they can claim at least one point. I would venture to bet that the winner will not be determined.
Prediction for the match: Draw
