After drawing their opening match in the Club World Cup 2025, Benfica will aim for victory on Thursday against Group C underdogs Auckland City in Orlando.
Benfica earned a point against Boca Juniors after trailing 2-0, thanks to a penalty scored by Angel Di Maria and an equaliser from Nicolas Otamendi, who also made a significant defensive contribution. Although Benfica finished with 10 men after Andrea Belotti's red card, Boca ended with nine, leading to a hard-fought draw.
With ambitions to advance from Group C, Benfica boasts a strong attack, having scored 84 goals in the Primeira Liga last season. They aim to break a four-game winless streak by scoring multiple goals against Auckland City.
Auckland, meanwhile, suffered a record 10-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in their opener and is currently ranked 5,074th globally. They have lost eight straight matches in FIFA's top tournament since their third-place finish in 2014.
While Auckland have a strong regional track record, they are clearly outmatched against Europe’s elite. It will likely be a case of damage limitation for them on Friday.
