Bayern Munich vs Tottenham Live Stats & Betting Odds
Bayern Munich Prediction – Can Bayern do double over Tottenham?
Despite finding themselves on the end of recent back-to-back defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will still be confident that they can return to winning ways when they play host to Tottenham at their Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.
The German outfit still remain unbeaten at home and sit 5 points clear of Spurs in Group B and cannot be caught, so with qualification for the next phase of the Champions League already secured, we could see a relaxed and confident Bayern Munich outfit take to the field on Matchday 6.
In addition, Bayern still possess a 100% winning record overall in the group matches and these include wins on home turf with victories over Crvena Zvezda 3-0 and a 2-0 win against Olympiakos.
Indeed, Bayern have now lost just 2 of their last 12 Champions League ties at home and having already demolished Tottenham in the earlier corresponding fixture 7-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the German hosts will be keen to record another win here.
Tottenham Prediction – Can Tottenham avenge earlier mauling?
It’s going to be a tough ask for Tottenham who will be without striker and leading goalscorer, Harry Kane, who will not be travelling to Munich, along with the continued absence of first-choice keeper Lloris and Lamela, and these absentees could really hurt Tottenham here.
Although Spurs bounced back from their 2-1 loss away at Manchester United with a 5-0 thrashing of Burnley at home on the weekend in the Premier League, they’ll be up against an in-form Bayern Munich on the Champions League stage who have won all five of their matches in Group B to date.
Although Tottenham’s Champions League campaign got off to a sticky start when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Olympiakos and then suffered that humiliating 7-2 defeat at home to tonight’s opponents, Spurs have since bounced back by winning their last 3 matches on the trot with home and away wins over Crvenz Zvezda and Olympiakos, which has also guaranteed their place in the knockout rounds.
However, on Wednesday night they’ll be without their talisman up front, Harry Kane, while Bayern will have striker Lewandowski fit and raring to go and no doubt keen to make the most of a Tottenham defence who have managed to keep just 1 clean sheet from Mourinho’s first 5 matches in charge.
Key-Facts – Bayern Munich vs Tottenham
- Bayern Munich possess a 100% winning record in Group B
- Tottenham have won just 3 of their last 9 matches on the road in the CL
- Bayern Munich beat Tottenham 7-2 in the earlier fixture between these two sides
Betting Tips Verdict
Bayern Munich with home advantage should exploit this weakened Tottenham outfit here.
