Bayern Munich will be keen to return to winning form in the Champions League when they take on Benfica at Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich vs Benfica Betting Tips: BTTS / Bayern Win
Goals should be expected in a likely competitive Champions League matchup as an in-form Benfica look to bounce back from a shock 3:1 defeat against Feyenoord on matchday three.
Both teams come into this contest looking to bounce back from defeats in the last round of UCL fixtures with Bayern also falling to a 4:1 loss against Barcelona. Having also slipped up against Aston Villa on matchday two, the Bavarians can ill-afford another setback on Wednesday.
Bayern secured a comfortable 3:0 win in their most runout against Union Berlin, extending their unbeaten run at the Allianz Arena to ten matches. Particularly dominant in home UCL matches, Bayern remain unbeaten in their last 17 European fixtures in Munich (W13, D4).
Benfica make the trip to Germany in high spirits after extending their winning run to three matches with a 2:1 win at Farense last time out. The Portuguese side have now won nine of their last ten games, with a 3:1 home defeat against Feyenoord the sole blot on their copybook during that period.
On the road, the Eagles have a strong UCL record in recent years, with only two defeats suffered in their last 14 away trips. Benfica claimed impressive road wins against Ajax and Juventus while holding Inter, Liverpool, Barcelona and PSG to draws in seasons gone by.
While Bayern should get the job done, Benfica have proven their quality on their travels and a high-scoring outcome with BTTS seems likely on Wednesday.
BTTS is my top tip, with Bayern also tipped to claim a much-needed victory.
