Boca Juniors vs Benfica predictions
Two historic names from two footballing continents meet in Group C in a blockbuster clash in Miami.
Both clubs are steeped in football history. Boca Juniors have long been a dominant force in Argentina. They boast 35 league titles – second only to River Plate – and six Copa Libertadores trophies, with a record 12 final appearances.
Benfica are Portugal’s most successful club. They have won 38 Primeira Liga titles and two European Cups, famously lifted in 1961 and 1962.
While no longer considered global powerhouses, the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup offers both teams a chance to reassert themselves on the world stage.
At odds of 40/1 each, neither side is expected to win the tournament outright. And with Bayern Munich odds-on favourites to top this group, there may only be one other Round of 16 spot realistically up for grabs.
In the latest betting, Benfica are currently 3/1 to top the group and 4/9 to qualify. Boca are 4/1 and 6/5 respectively.
The Argentinians are in the middle of their domestic season and remain in the hunt at the top of Group A. But they do come into this tournament in patchy form, having lost their most recent outing 1-0 at home to Independiente.
Benfica, by contrast, just wrapped up their campaign in agonising fashion.
The Eagles finished second in the Primeira Liga, narrowly edged out by Sporting Lisbon after a final-day draw at Braga.
A week later, heartbreak struck again. Leading 1-0 in the Taça de Portugal final, Bruno Lage’s side conceded a 90+10′ equaliser via a stoppage-time penalty from Viktor Gyökeres.
Benfica collapsed in extra time, eventually losing 3-1 – handing both major domestic trophies to their fiercest rivals.

Boca Juniors vs Benfica betting tips
With so much at stake so early in the competition, this shapes up as an intriguing clash between two legendary names. Our Boca vs Benfica match betting tips are below:
Boca Juniors to win or draw
With Bayern Munich the stand out team and odds-on favourites to top the group, this match between Boca and Benfica takes on huge significance.
Boca will no doubt make themselves hard to beat. But with Benfica looking like they have a goal in them, the Argentine’s will have to come out and play at some stage.
Benfica will be fragile after their disappointing end to the season, and we feel this increases Boca’s chances of getting something out of this fixture.

Both teams to score
Benfica have enough quality within their ranks to score goals.
They managed 84 goals in 34 Primeira Liga matches in the 2024/25 season and were also involved in high-scoring Champions League matches, sharing nine goals with Barcelona, and six and five in separate clashes against Monaco.
The Portuguese outfit are also a team that gives their opponents plenty of opportunities. Bruno Lage’s team conceded in seven of their last nine matches in the Primeira Liga, and they also conceded in eight of their 12 Champions League matches.
In a game that neither can afford to lose, we can see both teams finding the back of the net.
Back both teams to score at 4/5 with BetVictor
Vangelis Pavlidis to score anytime
Vangelis Pavlidis may have suffered heartache after his team’s two near misses in the Primeira Liga and the Taça de Portugal, but on a personal level, the Greek striker has had an outstanding season.
Pavlidis has scored 29 goals in 53 matches for the Eagles. His haul includes 19 (with seven assists) in 34 Primeira Liga appearances, and seven goals (plus three assists) in 12 Champions League outings.
Furthermore, 15 of his 19 goals and four of his assists came in his final 15 league matches of the season. He is in red hot form at the moment.
With statistics like that, bigger clubs will be taking a look at the Greek striker. This makes him all the more likely to seek to further enhance his reputation on the world stage at the Club World Cup.
