Bayern have won 22 of their last 24 matches (Champions League). Bayern have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 matches (Champions League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Bayern's last 7 games (Champions League). Bayern have won their last 3 matches against Benfica in all competitions. Bayern have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches against Benfica in all competitions.
Lucas Hernandez was forced off midway through the second half of Bayern Munich's 5-2 win at Union Berlin on Saturday and could miss out. Leon Goretzka will also be assessed, with Corentin Tolisso and Marcel Sabitzer competing to replace the German should he be unavailable. Benfica have no fewer than five players absent for the trip to Germany, with Valentino Lozaro, Gil Dias, Haris Seferovic, Andre Almeida and Rodrigo Pinho sidelined. Roman Yaremchuk came off at the break in Benfica's 1-1 draw at Estoril, though that wasn't due to injury, so he should lead the attack.
Bayern are absolutely flying in Group E having picked up nine points from their three games and victory on Tuesday night would see them secure their spot in the next round of the Champions League. The Bavarian powerhouse have lost only two of their last 15, winning the other 13. Benfica were humbled by Bayern in the reverse fixture and they have now won just one of their last four games, that a late 1-0 win at promoted Vizela. That said, they are unbeaten on their travels this term. The Portuguese side haven't faced an opponent as strong as Bayern on the road this season and the hosts, who have scored 12 and conceded 0, should make light work of Benfica at the Allianz. 3:0
