Bayern Munich vs Benfica 02.11.2021

Having picked up three wins on the trot in their three group matches including a 4-0 win in Lisbon in the reverse fixture, the Bavarians have one foot in the knockout rounds and will be looking to seal the deal here

Benfica are 2nd in the group behind the Germans but just a point clear of 3rd place Barcelona with the two of them likely to battle to the wire for the 2nd qualifying slot in the group.

Bayern have been quite ruthless in their backyard, winning 4 of their last five games with at least a 2 goal margin. We are backing them to emphatically book their ticket here with the same vigor.
