Benfica faces Bayern Munich in his last clash of group C of the Club World Cup, knowing that avoiding defeat will be enough to ensure a place in the elimination stage.
After winning four points of two games, Benfica sits second in the group. The Bayern, meanwhile, are already up to the next round with six points and only need a draw to finish the upper part.
Bruno Lage Lage took a long time to get against Auckland, only breaking the point of the dead in the first half arrest time, but finally listed with six goals.
This campaign marks the Benfica debut in the current Club World Cup format, although they appeared twice in the old Intercontinental Cup, losing both games.
Despite a mixed series of recent results, only one victory in its last five games in all competitions, Benfica has scored in 17 consecutive games, obtaining two or more goals in 13 of them.
The Bayern enters this match from the back of a hard 2-1 victory against Boca Juniors, ending an undefeated race of 10 games for South American clubs in the competition.
Bajo Vincent Kompany, Bayern is undefeated in nine, with six victories, and have scored three or more in five of their last seven.
Duel for the first place in the group. 💪

Benfica is expected to present an XI similar to the one that went beyond Auckland. Antonio Silva should continue in the central defense with Nicolas Otamendi, while midfielders Orkun Kokcu and Leandro Barreiro probably retain their points after strong exhibitions.
Angel Di Maria, who scored twice at his last departure, will appear in a powerful four front with Vangelis Pavlidis, Kerem Akturboglu and Gianluca Prestianni.
For Bayern, Kompany is ready to name a strong alignment despite the qualification. The defenders Josip Stanisic and Jonathan Tah have the tip to start over, while the unconditional of the Center of the Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka field could continue their association.
Thomas Muller is likely to be lost due to an injury, with Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley, they hope to play behind the leading striker Harry Kane.
