Benfica sit fifth in the league phase table after a tight 2-1 win, Bayern occupy 11th spot after being held to a draw. Both arrived unbeaten across their domestic leagues, but the gulf in attacking volume between these two sides tells a different story than the standings suggest. Bayern have fired shots at a rate Benfica simply cannot match this season, and that gap shapes everything about how we read this fixture.
Watch Edna Imade for Bayern, three goals in her last four appearances make her the sharpest finisher on either roster. For Benfica, defender Marit Bratberg Lund has chipped in with two goals from the back line recently, a rare attacking outlet from a Benfica defense built primarily to stay solid.
Hot stat: Bayern Munich have attempted 70 shots across their last five matches, roughly eight times the volume Benfica have managed (9) over the same stretch, despite Benfica winning every one of those games.

Benfica (w) vs Bayern Munich (w) prediction
Bayern arrive as heavy favourites at odds close to 1.29, and our punters team backs that price. Their squad depth shows in the numbers: six different players have scored across the last five matches, compared to Benfica’s reliance on a handful of contributors. We predict a Bayern Munich win, most likely by two or more goals, given how comfortably they have travelled through Bundesliga fixtures scoring 14 goals in five outings.
Style-wise, Bayern’s pass accuracy sits around 87%, well above Benfica’s 79%, and their corner output (12 in five matches) dwarfs Benfica’s three. Fouls tell a different tale though, Bayern have committed 38 fouls and picked up six yellow cards in that span against Benfica’s 11 fouls and a single card, suggesting the visitors play a more physical, higher-tempo game that could open up space for Benfica on the counter. Perhaps that physicality is where Benfica’s best chance lies, catching Bayern out of position after a foul-heavy press.

Team Analysis
Benfica have won 13 of their last 15 matches with just two draws mixed in, a run that includes a 5-1 thrashing of Porto and a clean 3-0 win over Racing Power. Their most recent outing, a 2-1 away win at Juventus, kept that streak alive. In our preview of Juventus (w) vs Benfica (w) we leaned toward a narrow Juventus win with goals at both ends, and the 2-1 scoreline went against our main call since Benfica came away with the victory, though the both-teams-to-score angle did land.
Bayern Munich have lost none of their last 15 fixtures either, with three draws breaking up a run of 12 wins. Their latest match produced a 2-1 win over Monchengladbach, but the one before that against Manchester City ended 2-2. In our preview of Bayern Munich (w) vs Manchester City (w) we called for a narrow Bayern win with goals shared by both sides, and the 2-2 result went against our main pick even though both teams did find the net as we expected.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Bayern Munich the favourite
- Moneyline Benfica (w) 6.38 | Bayern Munich (w) 1.29
- Draw 5.58
- Over/Under Over 2.5 (check bookmaker) | Under 2.5 (check bookmaker)
The market prices Bayern as a near lock, roughly 70% implied probability per the bookmakers’ average, with Benfica given just 14% and the draw 16%. That aligns with the shot-volume gap we flagged earlier, Bayern simply create more and better chances per game. Value backers on our team see the draw price as too generous given Bayern’s recent scoring output, and would rather take Bayern on the win line or lean into the goals markets than chase the draw.

Possible Starting Lineups
Benfica (w) possible starting eleven
- GK: Lena Pauels
- DF: Catarina Amado, Tinkara Testen, Marit Bratberg Lund, Diana Gomes
- MF: Andreia Norton, Paula Domínguez Encinas, Caroline Moller
- FW: Lúcia Alves, Chandra Davidson, Frøya Dorsin
Strasser tends to keep a settled back four, with Marit Bratberg Lund the one to watch given her recent goal contributions from a defensive slot. The front three offers pace on the counter, something Benfica will need against a Bayern side that presses high, shaping into what functions as a 4-3-3 built off the 4-2-3-1 base.
Bayern Munich (w) possible starting eleven
- GK: Ena Mahmutovic
- DF: Giulia Gwinn, Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir, Vanessa Gilles, Katharina Naschenweng
- MF: Sarah Zadrazil, Momoko Tanikawa, Pernille Harder, Klara Bühl
- FW: Jovana Damnjanovic, Edna Imade
Barcala’s most consistent starters all carry four appearances in the recent sample, and the double pivot of Zadrazil and Tanikawa gives Bayern control in midfield. Klara Bühl and Edna Imade stand out as the players most likely to punish Benfica in behind, running the standard 4-2-3-1 with Imade as the focal point up top.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Bayern Munich to win in Lisbon, likely by a two-goal margin or more, on the back of a shot output and scoring depth Benfica cannot match statistically. Both teams have found the net in most of their recent fixtures, so backing BTTS alongside the Bayern win feels like the smarter combination bet, to be honest, rather than chasing a clean sheet market against a Benfica side that has conceded sparingly but not always kept the visitors quiet in open play.
