Benfica – Bayern
20.10.2021
Benfica are set to play Bayern Munich at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Wednesday in the group stage of the Champions League. Benfica come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Trofense in the third round of the Taca de Portugal. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, beat Gerardo Seoane’s Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 in the Bundesliga.
In eight head-to-head encounters between the two sides, Bayern Munich hold the clear advantage, having won five games and drawn three. The two clubs last faced each other in the Champions League in 2018, with Bayern Munich beating Benfica 5-1.
Benfica have assembled a good squad, and made waves after comprehensively beating Barcelona recently in the Champions League. They are second in the group, and given Barcelona’s start, have a good chance of qualifying for the next round. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are top of the group, as expected by many. They have what it takes to win here.
This match will be played on 20/10/2021 at 22:00.
