Benfica vs Bayern Munich prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-23 19:00.
[p]While Benfica are sweating on their FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) progression with Boca Juniors breathing down their necks, Bayern Munich have rubber stamped their ticket to the last 16 before this matchday three clash. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Benfica’s position going into matchday three appears commanding as they lead third-place Boca Juniors by three points with a seven-goal superior goal difference. But with the Argentine side facing group whipping boys Auckland City to close out their campaign, there’s no room for error for Benfica. Simply avoiding defeat will see them progress, while a surprise win will even see them top the group, and after a 6-0 win against Auckland City on matchday two extended their unbeaten run inside 90 minutes to 15 matches (W10, D5), they should come into this clash confident they can progress to the knockouts on their CWC debut. [/p]
[p]Two-time CWC winners Bayern booked their last-16 ticket with a game to spare in what was no real surprise given their standing as the highest-ranked team in Group C according to Opta’s power rankings. They’ve already made history by securing the highest-ever winning margin at a CWC when they beat Auckland City 10-0 on matchday one, and with their two prior CWC appearances both ending in final victories, the omens are on their side. Six wins from their last seven games should only reaffirm belief they’ll secure the point they need to top the group here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 13 historical H2Hs against Benfica (W10, D3). They’ve won the last five in a row, including a 1-0 win in last season’s UEFA Champions League. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Benfica have only shut out Auckland City across their last six matches. [/p]
[p]Benfica have conceded an average of 2.77 goals per game in their 13-match winless H2H run against Bayern.[/p]
[p]Bayern Munich have scored 2+ goals in their last nine matches.[/p]
[p]Bayern Munich have won all six of their historical CWC games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Ángel Di María has netted three times across Benfica’s opening two CWC games, but he has never scored in nine career matches against Bayern. Fellow winger Michael Olise has now scored in an impressive six successive games for Bayern, while he’s also grabbed at least one assist in five of those scoring appearances.[/p]
[p]Benfica have a host of absentees here, including key defender Tomas Araujo. Bayern’s injury list is headed up by Alphonso Davies, and after limping off on matchday two, they look to be without Jamal Musiala too. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]With a stalemate being enough to win Bayern Group C, and secure second for Benfica, backing the draw is certainly a logical bet here. [/p]
