Benfica and Bayern Munich: Form Guide
This season, Benfica has had its fair share of inconsistencies, thanks in part to the experience of their attacking players, such as Ángel Di María and Vangelis Pavlidis. In midfield, Renato Sanches offers energy and creativity in support of Benfica’s attacks. Meanwhile, Nicolás Otamendi defends with stability and a veteran presence in the back line.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have been especially fluid and remain unbeaten under coach Vincent Kompany. The skill and power of their attack, featuring Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Leon Goretzka, make them one of the tournament’s most dangerous teams.
