Benfica, on the other hand, will be missing two key players, Araujo and Bah Alvaro, due to injury, while Carreras and Belotti are suspended.

Latest football match prediction: Bayern vs Benfica
Bayern Munich are demonstrating their superior class at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. After a record-breaking 10-0 victory over Auckland City, they went on to beat Boca Juniors 2-1 – becoming the first team to defeat a South American representative in this year's tournament. With a perfect 6 points after 2 matches, the Bavarians have secured their place in the next round and only need one point against Benfica to maintain their top spot in Group C.
Meanwhile, Benfica has also been performing quite consistently. After a 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors, they beat Auckland City 6-0 to take control of their own destiny. A draw would be enough for the Portuguese side to qualify, but if they want to take the top spot from Bayern, they must win – something that history and current form don't favor.
Bayern not only possesses a superior squad but also has an overwhelming head-to-head record against Benfica, with 5 consecutive wins in their last 5 encounters. Furthermore, 4 of those victories were by a margin of 2 goals or more. The German team's current form is also very impressive, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches, scoring 21 goals and conceding only 4.
Conversely, Benfica, despite not playing badly, have only won 1 of their last 5 matches. The absence of key players and a cautious mindset against such a strong opponent could lead them to approach the game cautiously. With both teams needing only a draw to achieve their goals, a balanced game with few explosive moments is likely. Bayern may deliberately slow down the pace to conserve energy for the next round, while Benfica are unlikely to spring a surprise.
