Head-to-head statistics Benfica - Bayern
Benfica (W) Team Overview
Benfica began the league phase with one of the most surprising results of the opening round, beating Juventus away 2-1 despite being clear underdogs going into the match. The Portuguese side held a two-goal lead for most of the game and only allowed their opponents to pull one back late on. The victory fits neatly into Benfica's current form: they have won their last ten matches, averaging 2.6 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded per game over that run. Their home matches have been particularly high-scoring, with at least three goals in six of their previous seven.

Bayern Munich (W) Team Overview
Bayern, meanwhile, dropped points unexpectedly in the opening round, drawing at home with Manchester City 2-2. The Munich side started the match almost perfectly and were 2-0 up by the 28th minute, but could not hold on to the lead. Their overall form remains impressive, though: nine wins and one draw in their last ten matches, with an average of three goals per game. Defensively, they concede an average of 0.9 goals per match, but the Manchester City game showed that even a comfortable lead does not always guarantee a straightforward finish.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Bayern are clear favourites, with a significant advantage in class. However, Benfica have been performing well in their domestic league and are capable of causing problems for a more decorated opponent on home soil. The statistics also point towards a high-scoring game: at least three goals were scored in 6 of Benfica's last 7 home matches and in 20 of Bayern's last 22 away matches. Our pick is therefore Total Goals - Over 2.5. Expected score: 1-2.
