Bayern Munich-Viktoria Plzen is a match valid for the third day of the Champions League group stage:
BAYERN MUNICH – VIKTORIA PLZEN | Tuesday 6.45pm
While Bayern Munich are forced to chase in the league, they play the hare in the Champions League having won against Inter Milan and Barcelona in their first two outings. And now there is little doubt that the path for the Germans will continue apace, especially as there is the double-header against Viktoria Plzen that could allow them to pick up a further six points and gain a pass to the round of 16. The signs are all there and they are obviously going in this direction, which is the only plausible one not only for what the values on the pitch are, but also for what the visiting team’s performance has been in these first two days of the Champions League group stage.
The Czechs in fact lost to both the Catalans and Simone Inzaghi’s team without giving the slightest hint of being able to trouble anyone. Now, as Bayern Munich are indeed a great team and have no intention of prolonging the qualification discourse, they will want to take it all and straight away without risking anything. The Germans, who at the moment have their minds more on the league, where they are behind in the standings, than on the Champions League, will have fun.
The Bavarians will be without Müller (Covid), Kimmich (Covid), Hernández and Sarr, while Coman is in doubt as is Staněk in Viktoria Plzen, who will have to do without Bucha (disqualified), Kliment and Sýkora.
Chory of Viktoria Plzen
The Prediction
A match of at least three goals in total with Bayern Munich not only expected to concede no goals but also to unlock it in the first half. Nagelsmann’s men also showed their strength in the league by beating Bayer Leverkusen and they want to do the same against the hapless Viktoria Plzen.
