Benfica head into this match following a disappointing domestic campaign. Bruno Lage’s side finished second in Liga Portugal with 80 points, falling just two to champions Sporting. They also lost the Taça de Portugal final to the same rivals, who completed a domestic double. Across all competitions, Benfica played 58 matches this season, recording 40 wins, eight draws, and 10 defeats.
Their recent form has been inconsistent, with five wins, four draws, and one loss in their last ten outings. Their Club World Cup campaign began with a hard-fought 2–2 draw against Boca Juniors. However, they bounced back convincingly in their second fixture, comfortably defeating Auckland City 6–0.
Andrea Belotti will miss this game after picking up a red card against Boca Juniors. Alexander Bah and Manu Silva are unavailable due to injuries.
Bundesliga champions Bayern extended their unbeaten streak with a 2–1 win over Boca Juniors. The Bavarians have now played 53 matches this season, registering 37 victories, nine draws, and seven defeats. They’ve netted 150 goals and conceded 52.
Their last loss came at home against Inter on April 8. Since then, Vincent Kompany’s side has gone nine games unbeaten, recording six wins and three draws. They’ll now aim to stretch that run to 10 matches with a positive result against Benfica.
All other players, bar Alphonso Davies and Kim Min-Jae, should be available for this game.

Bayern have been very dominant against Benfica, securing six wins in their last seven games against them. The Bavarians have also been in better form, securing more wins and fewer defeats than their opponent. They have a superior team that will feature talents like Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala leading this side. Interestingly, Kompany’s side has had six wins in their last seven games. With such an impressive winning record against the Eagles, we fully expect a victory for Bayern on Tuesday.

Benfica may have shown some inconsistency recently, but their attacking output has remained steady. Under Bruno Lage, the team has scored 150 goals in 58 matches while conceding 60. That translates to an average of 2.58 goals scored and 1.03 conceded per game. On the other hand, Bayern has also tallied 150 goals, while conceding 52 times this season, matching Benfica’s attacking record. Both teams have scored in each of their last ten matches, and there’s every reason to believe that pattern will continue in this contest.

Michael Olise has been one of Bayern’s standout players during their Club World Cup campaign in the United States. The French midfielder has already registered three goals and two assists in the tournament. His performances continue a strong run of form from last season, where he contributed 12 goals and 18 assists in the Bundesliga. In Europe, Olise added five goals and two assists in 14 Champions League appearances. With him expected to start again, there’s every reason to back him to find the net in this matchup.
