Storylines
Bayern: Bayern is in first place with 10 points and a 3-1-0 record. With a two-point lead entering the day, Bayern will win the group with a win and an Ajax loss. But the team enters the game in poor form. The team is in fifth place in the Bundesliga and it has only won two of its last six games in all competitions. With six goals conceded in the last two, the defense isn't in sync and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer looks short on confidence.
Benfica: The Portuguese giants are 1-1-2 in the cup and enter the day four points back of second place. The team looks headed for the Europa League if it doesn't get a victory here. A draw won't be enough, because at best, it will still be three points back entering the final day.
Bayern vs. Benfica prediction
