Our prediction for this FIFA Club World Cup match:
Benfica
Match Time & Date:
24 June 2025
20:00
Prediction: 2-2
Bayern Munich
Bank of America Stadium will be the centre of attention when Benfica and Bayern Munich lock horns in the C derby. Benfica are one point away from booking their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Bundesliga giants. Experienced forward Andrea Belotti has yet to serve his ban, while all Bah, Araujo, and Manu continue to miss out with injuries.
Vincent Kompany’s men, on the other hand, aim to clinch top position in Group C. Both Bayern Munich and Benfica, though, should be happy with one point from Tuesday’s clash and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. With veteran Thomas Muller limping off with injury in a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors, fit-again German star Jamal Musiala is likely to step up. As always, Harry Kane will lead the line for the nominal visitors.
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.
