Latest Bayern vs Benfica squad information
In the upcoming match, Bayern Munich will not have the service of veteran striker Thomas Muller due to injury. However, the German team still has a very high-quality squad with stars such as Musiala, Kane, Coman and Kimmich. As for Benfica, they also lost two important players, Araujo and Bah Alvaro, due to injury, while the duo Carreras - Belotti are suspended. These shortcomings will put more pressure on the defense and midfield of the Portuguese representative when facing a very strong attack from Bayern.

Latest football commentary Bayern vs Benfica
Bayern Munich are in top form at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Following a record 10-0 win over Auckland City, they went on to beat Boca Juniors 2-1 – becoming the first team to defeat a South American side in the tournament this year. With six points from two matches, the Bavarians are already assured of progress and need just one point against Benfica to stay top of Group C.
Benfica, meanwhile, have been playing quite well. After a 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors, they beat Auckland City 6-0 to claim the right to decide. A draw would be enough for the Portuguese representatives to qualify, but if they are to take the top spot from Bayern, they must win – something that history and current form do not support.
Bayern not only has a superior force but also has an overwhelming head-to-head record against Benfica with 5 absolute victories in the last 5 meetings. In fact, 4 of those victories were by 2 goals or more. The current form of the German representative is also very impressive with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches, scoring 21 goals and conceding only 4.
On the contrary, Benfica, although not playing badly, have only won 1/5 of their recent matches. The absence of key personnel and the mentality of being cautious against a very strong opponent may cause them to enter the match cautiously. In the context that both teams only need a draw to achieve their goal, a balanced match with few explosive situations is likely to happen. Bayern can proactively slow down the pace, saving their energy for the next round, while Benfica will hardly be able to create a surprise.
