Bayern vs Benfica: Another Bayern crushing win?

Bayern have a great opportunity after the 4th round to guarantee themselves a place in the Champions League play-offs and possibly first place in Group E. Naturally, the Munich side are the big favourites to win against Benfica. How many home goals will the Munich side score if the Reds scored four goals against the Eagles in Lisbon?

Bayern

After a 4-0 win over Benfica, Bayern thrashed Hoffenheim with the same score, crashed out of the German Cup with a 0-5 loss to Mönchengladbach, and beat Union 5-2 in Berlin. In the Bundesliga, Bayern are the leaders, and in Group E of the Champions League, Bayern are also the leaders, with 9 points under their belt after three rounds of play. The closest pursuer of the Munich side is Benfica, who have four points. It should also be noted that Bayern have scored 22 goals in their last five games at the Allianz, only Eintracht have conceded one goal in that period, the other teams have not conceded less than four.

Benfica

After their home defeat by Bayern, Benfica played three games in two domestic competitions. In the Liga Cup, the Eagles drew with Guimaraes. In the Portuguese league, they were at peace with Estoril and defeated Vizela. The division of points with Estoril cost the Eagles first place, with Porto and Sporting winning their matches and beating Benfica in the table. In the Champions League, the Eagles are second in Group E before the start of the fourth leg but, should they lose in Munich, they are very likely to relinquish their place.

Expert Betting Tips

Bayern can be inexplicably shorthanded, such as Mönchengladbach at Borussia Park, but on the whole, Bayern have been winning consistently enough under Nagelsmann, and not just winning, but smashing. In the last round of the German Bundesliga, Bayern beat Union Berlin. And before that, they had not lost more than a season before, since a memorable match against Augsburg. Such is the difference in levels between the future rivals we saw a fortnight ago in Lisbon. Yes, Benfica went 70 minutes without conceding a goal but conceded four times in the last 20 minutes. We think that the upcoming meeting will once again be a high-scoring affair, and as for the outcome, there is little doubt that Bayern will get another home win.
