SL Benfica vs Bayern Munich (24-06-2025) – Preview, Head to Head Stats, Prediction and Betting Tips.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 reaches a crescendo as Benfica tackle Bayern Munich on June 24, 2025, in Charlotte, where a Portuguese upset could shake up Group C.

Team Form

Benfica stride into this final Group C clash with four points from two games, buoyed by a thrilling 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors and a 6-0 thrashing of Auckland City in this Benfica vs Bayern Munich showdown on the FIFA Club World Cup stage. Bruno Lage’s side has found its scoring touch, and with confidence soaring, they’re poised to challenge the German giants.

Bayern Munich, already through to the knockouts after a 10-0 rout of Auckland City and a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors, arrive under Vincent Kompany’s steady hand. Michael Olise’s late heroics against Boca underscore their knack for delivering when it counts, setting up a formidable test for Benfica in this FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group stage encounter.

Stats or Trends

Benfica’s attack has been on fire, netting over 2.5 goals in their last three outings, though their defense has wobbled, especially with red cards haunting their Boca draw. Bayern, averaging 3.4 goals per game against Benfica historically, have scored at least twice in nine straight matches, with over 2.5 goals in 11 of 12, promising a goal-fest. Their 13-game unbeaten run against Benfica adds weight to their favor.

Injuries or Players to Watch

Benfica will feel the absence of suspended defender Álvaro Carreras, but their forward line, led by in-form strikers, aims to exploit any Bayern lapses. For the Germans, Olise’s clutch play and a robust squad under Kompany should keep them sharp, with no major injuries to report.

Prediction

This Group C finale could erupt into a high-scoring affair, with Bayern’s 2-1 edge likely holding despite Benfica’s surge, thanks to their historical dominance. Expect over 2.5 goals, possibly 3-2, as Benfica push for an upset.
