Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Bayern Munich
Match Time & Date:

12:00 PM
Prediction: 3-1
Benfica
Following a routine 3-0 win over Union Berlin, Bayern Munich will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Benfica in the Champions League round 4. The Bavarians have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions and are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Benfica. A man to watch in the home team will be Harry Kane, who scored a brace at the weekend, while the likes of Boey, Ito, Pavlovic, and Stanisic continue to miss out with injuries.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are after their third win of the process. Benfica, though, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Feyenoord, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Vincent Kompany’s men. In their last meeting in the elite competitions Bayer Munich outplayed Benfica 5-2, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Leandro Barreiro and Tiago Gouveia should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
Highlighted Team (Benfica):
Member of the ‘Big Three’ clubs in Portugal alongside FC Porto and CP Sporting, Sport Lisboa e Benfica are the football club that has never been relegated from the Primeira Liga. The club is nicknamed Aguias because of the Eagle symbol atop the club’s crest. Benfica play their home games at the Estadio da Luz which replaced the original one in 2003 and which boasts the capacity of more than 64,000. Arguably the most successful club in Portugal, Benfica have won a record of 35 Primeira Liga titles and also a record 25 Taca de Liga and 7 Taca da Liga trophies.
Two-time European Cup winners, Benfica are the club known for their diligent work with youth players, many of which went on to make great careers abroad. The most prominent players to wear a Benfica shirt are legendary Eusebio, Manuel Bento, Jorge Tavares and most recently Javier Saviola, Nuno Gomes, David Luiz and Angel Di Maria.
