Latest Benfica vs Auckland City squad information
Benfica will be without defenders Alexander Bah and Manu Silva due to injury, while striker Andrea Belotti is suspended following his red card against Boca Juniors. However, coach Bruno Lage still has a quality squad with experienced stars like Otamendi, Di Maria and energetic young players like Pavlidis, Schjelderup and Akturkoglu, enough to overwhelm the opponent from New Zealand.
On the other side of the front line, Auckland City will take the field with the strongest force. However, being only a semi-professional team with limited skills and physical strength will make it very difficult for them to withstand the fierce attacks of the European representative.

Latest Benfica vs Auckland City football prediction
Benfica head into the second round of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with a lot of determination. After a dramatic 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors, they know that taking all three points against Auckland City is a must to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. Not only that, but goal difference could also be a key factor, forcing Benfica to win by as much as possible.

Benfica are the clear winners in every respect. They were the top scorers in the Portuguese top flight last season (84 goals), and have sharp strikers and an overwhelming attacking style. The draw with Boca highlighted some defensive flaws, but also showed their character and ability to explode at crucial moments.
Meanwhile, Auckland City are still struggling to adapt to the top level of football. Their 10-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in their opening game was a clear demonstration of the vast gulf in skill between them and the world’s top teams. Auckland City have lost eight consecutive Club World Cup matches since their surprise third-place finish in 2014 – a statistic that shows a clear decline in quality.
With the difference in strength and the goal of having to win big, Benfica will certainly play an all-out attack from the start. This match promises to be a rain of goals for the Portuguese representative.
