Salzburg Preview – Can Austrian champions surprise holders with just a second home win in the group stage?
Salzburg would have been targeting at win in their opening game at home to Lokomotiv Moscow as a minimum in order to realistically challenge Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich for qualification. It was an uphill task from the outset but made even harder by the fact they were only able to take a point from their Russian opponents. Jesse Marsch got an excellent performance from his team away to Atletico last week but they left with nothing in the end having been 2-1 up in the second half.
Considering it’s just their second experience of the group stages then it’s to be expected they will come up short against the best but they do have potential in this squad and play a very entertaining style of play.
Bayern Munich Preview – Will Bayern make it 15 straight wins in the Champions League?
It’s only a couple of months ago since Bayern clinched the Champions League but their eyes are already on retaining it and they have made a perfect start to that defence. A convincing 4-0 win at home to Atletico – who most would see as their direct rivals for top spot in the group – was followed by a hard-fought 2-1 success in Moscow. Both wins show the different sides to this team and their desire to stay at the top.
A 2-1 win over Koln in the Bundesliga not only took them back to the top of the division but means they have now won eight straight since losing heavily to Hoffenheim.

You have to go all the way back to March of last year for the last time Bayern failed to win a Champions League game which is incredible consistency and dominance. Liverpool were their conquerors on that occasion and at the time it looked a long way back to the top of the European tree. A mere 18 months on and they look in a league of their own just now.
And Robert Lewandowski continues to blaze a trail in the scoring charts domestically with 10 in five league games, however he’s still looking for his first Champions League goal of the new campaign.
