----------------------------
Benfica aims for a win against struggling Auckland City after drawing with Boca Juniors, while Auckland City continues to struggle following a heavy opening loss.
Team Analysis:
Benfica fought back from two goals down to draw against Boca Juniors, with key contributions from captain Otamendi and Di Maria. Despite playing with ten men, they showed resilience and a strong attacking record from last season.
Auckland City, part-time players and heavy losers in their opener against Bayern Munich, face a tough challenge in this strong group. As Oceania’s best club, they aim to limit damage but remain outmatched against top European teams.
Player Situation:
Benfica may rest key players like Orkun Kokcu ahead of their upcoming Bayern Munich match, while still missing long-term injured and suspended players. Vangelis Pavlidis is expected to lead their attack. Auckland City’s main threats are forward Myer Bevan and standout futsal player Dylan Manickum, with goalkeeper Conor Tracey likely to face heavy pressure behind a strong defensive lineup.
Result Prediction:
Benfica must maximize their goal difference against Auckland City to secure a top-two spot in Group C, while Auckland, despite lessons learned from their heavy loss, are expected to struggle against the much stronger opponents.
Predicted Result: Benfica 6-0 Auckland City.
