FIFA Club World Cup: Benfica vs. Bayern Munich Picks — German Giants to Maintain 100% Record (Jun 24)

Bayern Munich have emerged as one of the leading contenders for FIFA Club World Cup success this summer after easily recording back-to-back wins in the group stage.

The German giants opened their campaign with a routine 10-0 win over Auckland City, before they backed up that victory with a success against Boca Juniors.

The pressure will be on Benfica on matchday three, as they require at least a point to reach the knockout round.
