Hard Rock Stadium in Miami plays host to a huge Club World Cup Group C game on Monday, as Boca Juniors take on Benfica in a game that will go a long way towards deciding which of the two teams progresses to the last sixteen. Bayern are the big favorites to win the group, so with Auckland widely expected to be the group whipping boys, the second qualification place is likely to be a straight shootout between Benfica and Boca.
Benfica will go into the game as favorites after going 13 games unbeaten at the end of the Portuguese Liga season. However, they missed out on the title after failing to beat Braga in their final game, and then lost 3-1 to Sporting Lisbon in the Taça de Portugal final. Meanwhile, Boca also suffered defeat in their last domestic fixture, bowing out of the Torneo Betano playoffs to Independiente at the quarter final stage.

Our Boca Juniors vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Both teams will be desperate for a win in this one, but we think Benfica have the edge in terms of quality and top level experience. Bruno Lage's team averaged over two goals per game in their domestic season, so it's going to be very tough for the Argentinians to stop them finding the net. that being said, Boca carry plenty of attacking threat themselves, so the smart play here is to back Benfica winning, but not keeping a clean sheet. Our prediction for Benfica vs Boca Juniors is: Benfica to win and both teams to score.
