Correct score | 1-2 | 41/5 |
First Goalscorer | Robert Lewandowski | 9/4 |
Bayern have come flying out of the blocks in Group E, scoring eight goals without reply against Barcelona and Dynamo Kiev.
The irrepressible Robert Lewandowski has helped himself to a couple of braces along the way, and heads to Estadio da Luz having netted four times in his side’s last three away games.
Indeed, Julian Nagelsmann’s side are seeking a sixth successive win on the road in all competitions.
But, it will not be easy by any means. Benfica have suffered just one defeat in their last 15 matches, while winning 12 of those
That loss came courtesy of a 1-0 reverse against Portimonense prior to the international break. It also marked the first time that Jorge Jesus’ men had failed to find the net on home soil in 16 attempts.
Striker Darwin Nunez will lead Benfica’s charge; the Uruguay international has found the net four times in his side’s last three at Estadio da Luz.
