As expected from this team, Bayern is fully dominating the Bundesliga this season. Now under Vincent Kompany’s management, the Munich side holds first place with 23 points, 3 points ahead of RB Leipzig. In 9 matches, Bayern has only dropped points against Bayer (1-1) and Eintracht (3-3).
In recent Bundesliga games, Bayern has left no chance for its opponents, currently boasting a streak of three consecutive blowout victories. In the last round, they defeated Union (3-0), following earlier wins over Bochum (5-0) and Stuttgart (4-0). Bayern also beat Mainz (4-0) in the German Cup Round of 16.
However, Bayern needs to quickly improve its standing in the Champions League. In the first match, they crushed Dinamo Zagreb with a record 9-2 score, but then suffered two consecutive away losses — 0-1 to Aston Villa and 1-4 to an unstoppable Barcelona.
Benfica had a very poor start to the current season, which logically led to Roger Schmidt’s departure as head coach. Former Wolves manager Bruno Lage, who has previously managed Benfica, was appointed in his place. The Portuguese coach managed to turn things around quickly.
In 9 Primeira Liga matches, Benfica has earned 22 points, currently sitting in third place. They are 5 points behind Porto and 8 points behind Sporting, who are still unbeaten. However, Benfica has one game in hand against Nacional. In the last round, the “Eagles” won a tough away match against Farense (3-1), following big wins over Rio Ave (5-0) and Gil Vicente (5-1).
Benfica’s start in the Champions League has been somewhat mixed. In the first match, they expectedly defeated Crvena Zvezda (2-1), and then pulled off a major upset, thrashing Atlético Madrid at home with a 4-0 score. The “Eagles” could have been among the leaders, but they unexpectedly lost at home to Feyenoord (1-3) in the last game.
