STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Tues: Benfica v Bayern Munich

Benfica will be looking to join Bayern Munich in the knockout stages of the Club World Cup when they face the German giants in Charlotte on Tuesday evening, writes JOE CITRONE.

With Benfica having drawn to Boca Juniors in their first game before thrashing part-timers Auckland City in their second match, they merely need to avoid defeat against Bayern Munich to progress to the next stage.

With Vincent Kompany’s side having already secured their route through to the next round, the hope for the Portuguese side on Tuesday night will be that they can capitalise on some complacency and rotation from their opponents.

Bayern boss Kompany will be hoping for a strong finish to the group-stage from his side, though, and to also maintain their 100% record so far in this year’s Club World Cup.

Whether they decide to rest the likes of Harry Kane and Michael Olise remains to be seen, but Kompany won’t be best pleased if he sees his side dropping their standards for this final group game before we enter the knockout phase of the tournament.

Considering Benfica just need to avoid defeat in order to progress to the next stage, and with little on the line for Bayern, it’s hard to look beyond a draw for this one, which you can back at 5/2 with starsports.bet.
