Bayern Munich – Benfica SOCCER PICKS
Bayern Munich:
Things are not going well for those led by Niko Kovac this season, so the Bavarian team comes from a three-goal draw at home against the recently promoted Fortuna Dusseldorf and thus added their second game without a win, where worse is the defensive block, since it has been the second consecutive game that received three goals.
In this way Bayern Munich is ranked 5th with 21 points, 9 points less than the leader Borussia Dortmund, but knows that there is still a lot of bread to slice to keep the crown in German football, although the Bayern fan of Munich is desperate with the work of Kovac.
As for his participation in the UEFA Champions League, it can be said that things are much better, as he remains undefeated in his four games where three ended in victories and that places him in the first place of the group with 10 points and a win This Tuesday he will be the winner of the group and it is what Kovac aspires to calm the claims of the Bavarian followers.
On the other hand, those led by Rui Vitoria have recovered their memory in the last matches, so the Eagles come from beating Arouca 2-1 in the fourth round of the Taca da Portugal and with that they added their second consecutive victory, remembering that they beat to Tondela as a visitor by 1-3 at stake for the Primeira Liga de Portugal, and with that confidence are prepared to achieve the miracle in Germany that allows a slight hope of finishing in second place in the group, of course if Ajax does not beat to AEK during his visit to Greece.
The theme for the Eagles is that their direct matches against Bayer of Munich have not been the best, to the point of their last ten games could only get a good result as a draw, while the other nine favored Bayern Munich, but in Portuguese shop they know that this is football and each game is a different story.
Bayern Munich – Benfica :
It is true that the German champions have been easy to defeat their goal in their last outings, but a result that is not victory here would set the alarm and lead to Kovac early leaving the coach bench and the Croatian coach is unwilling thereto.
In addition Benfica has struggled to achieve positive results by visiting the UEFA Champions League, comes from losing 1-0 in his visit to Ajax, and while on the road there are two victories have to say that these were before teams from Greece that it is a somewhat lower level, and if we take these games we would have to say that they add a seven-game streak without winning as a visitor in the European Champions League where five ended in defeats.
Therefore, we believe that the best alternative to bet on this game is for the triumph of Bayern Munich, that we do not decide to risk much since the situation that crosses the Bavarian cast does not allow us to do so, but we trust that it is a good alternative to add it to a combined bet and increase the total value of the final installment.
