Player lineup:
Bayern Munich has a luxurious player lineup with many world-class stars. Players such as Muller and Gnabry on the forward line have excellent scoring and breakthrough abilities; the midfield has powerful players such as Kimmich and Goretzka, who can effectively control the rhythm of the game and deliver ammunition to the forwards; the back line is relatively stable and has excellent defensive capabilities.

Bayern Munich’s tactical system is flexible and can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the different characteristics of the opponent. The team focuses on quick counterattacks and wing breakthroughs on the offensive end, while maintaining high-pressure and tight defense on the defensive end.
Benfica

Benfica is a strong team in Portuguese football, but its performance in the Champions League is relatively average. Although the team also has certain strength and experience, there is still a certain gap compared with Bayern Munich.
Recent status:
Benfica has performed well in the Portuguese Super League, but when facing the top European giants, the team’s overall strength and player experience may be tested to a certain extent. In the recent Champions League, Benfica’s performance was also relatively average and failed to show sufficient competitiveness.

Benfica’s player lineup is relatively young and has certain potential and vitality. However, compared with Bayern Munich’s luxurious lineup, Benfica may have certain deficiencies in player strength and tacit cooperation.

Benfica’s tactical system is relatively stable, focusing on overall cooperation and defensive counterattacks. However, when facing a strong team like Bayern Munich, the team may need to be more proactive on the offensive end to seek more scoring opportunities.
Game prediction
Combining the above analysis, I think Bayern Munich has a greater advantage in this game. The team is superior to Benfica in terms of overall strength, player lineup and tactical system. Therefore, I predict that Bayern Munich will win this game, but the specific score still needs to be judged according to the actual situation during the game.
