Betting tip and prediction for this match between Benfica vs Auckland

The best prediction for Benfica vs Auckland in the FIFA Club World Cup is that there will be fewer than 5.5 goals. Analyzing the recent history of both teams, Benfica has displayed defensive vulnerabilities while maintaining substantial offensive strength. Meanwhile, Auckland City comes from a historic loss that may have shaken them psychologically.

Benfica is expected to dominate possession, but converting this into goals will be challenging against a team that will focus on defending deeply.

Match preview: Benfica vs Auckland

Team analysis: Benfica

Benfica arrives for this second round of the group stage after a 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors in their first match. The Portuguese side showed attacking prowess by scoring two goals but also exhibited defensive frailties that need addressing. The manager is expected to adopt a more balanced tactical setup, likely sticking with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, which allows for quick transitions and pressing when out of possession. Expectations are high for this match, as a win is crucial for maintaining their qualification hopes in the group. The team has been inconsistent in Portuguese football lately, with just one victory in their last five matches, including a 3-1 defeat in the Portuguese Cup to Sporting. Benfica’s style typically relies on ball possession and attempts to build attacks down the flanks, but they have struggled to maintain defensive solidity, having conceded goals in their last five outings.

Team analysis: Auckland

Auckland City faced a daunting challenge in their competition debut, suffering a 10-0 defeat to Bayern Munich. This heavy loss highlighted the technical and tactical gaps within the New Zealand team when competing against elite international sides. The manager will likely implement a much more defensive strategy for this match, possibly employing a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 formation to compact the space and look to exploit infrequent counter-attacks. The team has had a mixed campaign in the New Zealand National League, recording three wins, a draw, and three losses in their last seven matches. Auckland City’s approach in international competitions has been characterised by tactical discipline and defensive organisation, but their shortcomings were apparent against Bayern. Slow defensive transitions and a lack of possession are the major weaknesses that Benfica will undoubtedly aim to exploit.
