Bayern Munich vs Benfica Preview and Livestream
Bayern might be Bundesliga leaders with 22 points from 9 games, but they were brought back down to Earth this week when Borussia Monchengladbach beat a full-strength Bayern side 5-0 in the DFB Pokal. Surely the Bavarians will not take lightly to that and respond in the coming week. Currently, they are dominating Group E.
With 3 wins from 3, they are on top of the pile. Their Portuguese counterparts are second with 4 points, while Barcelona are third with 3 points. Dynamo Kyiv are dead last and will surely not even make the top 3 come matchday 6. Bayern beat Benfica in Portugal earlier this month on MD 3 by a 4-0 margin and would hope to repeat, or even extend that scoreline at home in Germany.
Bayern Munich vs SL Benfica takes place at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Tuesday, 2nd November 2021 at 08:00 PM GMT. This means that the game will start at 04:00 PM EST and 01:00 PM PST on the same day- 2nd November. The Indian fans will see the game kick-off at 01:30 AM IST on Wednesday, 20th October.
The match will be shown on BT Sport channels in the United Kingdom, who are the official broadcasters of the UEFA Champions League in that region. The broadcasting rights of the UCL in the USA lies with CBS and Univision network and for fans in India, the UEFA Champions League will be broadcasted live on the Sony Pictures Network and will be streaming live on the Sony Liv app on iOS and Android.

On the injury front, backup goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is the only absentee with a knee injury. They have the well-scheduled Bundesliga and DFB Pokal fixtures to thank for this but they have also been very lucky on that front, make no mistake about it. Julian Nagelsmann has a full strength team to choose from and given the week they’ve had, Benfica may well be in for a hiding.

Bayern Munich vs Benfica Prediction
We go with an outright Bayern win here because firstly, they are at home, and secondly, they showed in October how badly they can skin Benfica without even breaking a sweat. And that was in Portugal. Jorge Jesus would be careful this time around but we cannot see his team getting anything away from this game.
