Bayern Munich back to winning ways

After a two-round slump that saw Bayern’s lead at the top cut to just two points, The Bavarians were back to winning ways in style. They beat Lazio in the UEFA Champions League 4-1 and Koln in the Bundesliga 5-1.

Bayern are forever favorites to win the title and they come into this match after scoring 14 goals in their last five matches with an average of almost three goals a match. In four of those five matches, both teams have scored.
