VIKTORIA PLZEN – BAYERN MUNICH | Wednesday 9pm
Nine points in the standings after three matches. Nine goals scored. Zero conceded. Zero as are the points in the standings for Viktoria Plzen, who have been decidedly unlucky to end up in a group with the Germans, Barcelona and Inter Milan. The hosts could take this Champions League as a moment of growth, and nothing else, given the results that have come their way. Widely predictable as well, and of that there is no doubt: the gap between the Czechs and the other teams in the group is too clear. Well, now to the match, which of course should offer no surprises. Bayern Munich, by winning, plus close the qualification discourse well in advance and dedicate themselves totally to the Bundesliga where Nagelsmann’s team is forced to chase. A different performance between home and Europe, which is also starting to annoy the fans.
Yes, in the last round Bayern against Borussia was caught well past the 90th minute. But this showed a lack of concentration never seen before. We must therefore win against Viktoria because winning helps to win. And maybe continue not to take goals in the Champions League. Yes, that’s the goal.
Bayern Munich
The Prediction
Easy win for Bayern Munich to end the qualification discussion. A match that should also provide at least three goals in total, and which, moreover, could break even in the first 45 minutes of play. Watch out for the possibility of seeing Mané score. He should be the Germans’ most advanced man.
