Bayern Munich vs Benfica prediction (1x2)

Bayern Munich will host Benfica in the first leg match of the Champions league quarterfinal. Benfica is in great series of 8 wins in a row and 19 win in last 20 matches, but today they will be on real test.  Their opponents in national league are not so strong, while they had Zenit St. Petersburg in the previous CL phase, so today we will see their real abilities. Bayern Munich on the other side is not so convincing lately, they won their last two matches with only 1-0 against Frankfurt and Koln, while they break Juventus on extra time in the previous CL phase. However Bayern remains huge favorite here, even they are not in top form.  Quality is surely on their side, while they also have more experience in this kind of matches.  Bayern’s defense also looks very well lately and they had a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 matches.  Their main goals for this game will surely be to win and try to save clean sheet. I think they surely could score 2-3 goals in this game, while IMO Benfica cannot score more than once, so I expect Bayern to win by at least 2 goals difference.  Bayern not have some bigger absents except Badstuber and Boateng, while on the other side Benfica will be without their first goalkeeper Julio Cesar, defenders Louisao and Lisandro Lopes and Nuno Santos. Here is possible line ups Bayern: Neuer, Kimmich, Javi Martinez, Alaba, Lahm, Xabi Alonso, Douglas Costa, T.Muller, Vidal, F.Ribery, Lewandowski Benfica: Ederson Moraes, Silvio, Nilson-Lindelof, Jardel, Eliseu, Renato Sanches, Samaris, Pizzi, Jonas, Gaitan, Mitroglou
