It’s another significant night at the Club World Cup, with Benfica and Boca Juniors aiming to join Bayern Munich in advancing from Group C. The German giants have already secured their spot and only need a point to top the group, which is favorable for Benfica as a draw will also see them through to the last 16. However, a win for the Portuguese side would position them at the top, potentially setting up an easier next round, making their approach to this game intriguing.
Benfica vs Bayern Munich top betting tips
Benfica have a poor record against Bayern Munich, having never beaten them in 11 encounters, which is why BoyleSports lists the Bundesliga champions as 5/6 favorites. Benfica are 14/5 outsiders, a reasonable assessment after their loss to Vincent Kompany’s side in the Champions League earlier this season. With the draw benefiting both teams, it appears a good option at 2/1, while betting on a half-time stalemate is a safer choice at 11/10. Kompany may make changes with Bayern already advancing, potentially lowering intensity levels. This match holds more significance for the Eagles, so betting on them to receive the most cards at 21/20 with Unibet seems promising.
Auckland City vs Boca Juniors
If Bayern Munich defeats Benfica and Boca Juniors handle Auckland City, second place will depend on goal difference. It could come down to who scores the most against the Kiwi team, so Boca is expected to go all-out in attack. Benfica scored six goals against Auckland, with five in the second half, suggesting that backing most action to occur after the break might pay off, although the odds are 4/6. It’s challenging to find value with Boca as heavy favorites, but a Boca win with over 5.5 goals pays 21/20 at BoyleSports. Boca Juniors will likely adopt an aggressive shooting strategy, and midfielder Carlos Palacios might be worth a bet at 7/2 with Bet365 for over 0.5 shots on target from outside the box.
Esperance de Tunis vs Chelsea
Chelsea still have work to do to reach the knockout stages, with their late-night match against Esperance de Tunis being a direct battle for second in Group D. The Blues lost a 1-0 lead to Flamengo in their last game, with striker Nicolas Jackson getting sent off, while the Tunisians secured a 1-0 win over Los Angeles FC. A victory for the North Africans would eliminate Enzo Maresca’s team, but the bookies see Chelsea as 2/7 favorites. Jackson’s suspension gives Liam Delap a chance to make his mark as Chelsea’s future main striker, with his odds for anytime scorer at 21/20 with BoyleSports looking like good value if he receives enough support. Chelsea might accrue several corners against a defensive opponent, making over 6.5 Chelsea corners at 5/4 a potentially profitable bet.
