The Bundesliga giants bounced back to winning ways over the weekend following an impressive 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen at home. Bayern may be struggling in their domestic league, Julian Nagelsmann’s side have been outstanding in the Champions League this term, following double 2-0 wins over Inter Milan and Barcelona at away and home respectively. Viktoria Plzen wouldn’t be much of a burden for the Germans. It’s an easy win for Bayern.
Mane returned back to form on Friday following a goal against Bayer Leverkusen. He hasn’t scored in the Champions League this season so far and a home game against Viktoria Plzen stands as a huge chance to get his European tally up and running. The former Liverpool forward has scored four goals in eight Bundesliga games, averaging 0.5 goals per game.
Bayern Munich love kicking the ball around and create loads of chances from open play. And it’s not a surprise that the majority of their goals this season have come by foot from open play. They will be eager to show their passing prowess against the Czech Republic giants this midweek.
Although Bayern Munich haven’t conceded a goal in the Champions League so far, there are chances that this game could produce both teams to score with odds of 2.39 at 22bet.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side have struggled this season in the Bundesliga, losing and drawing some game they wouldn’t have conceded a single goal when at their best. Bayern didn’t win any of their last three Bundesliga matches before the international break. They lost 1-0 away from home to Augsburg and played 2-2 and 1-1 draws at home to Stuttgart and away to Union Berlin respectively. Between those poor results, Bayern won Barcelona and Inter Milan with clean sheets. They successfully bounced back to winning ways against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday and hopefully, they maintain their consistency from there.
Bayern will be without a string of top players due to injury issues. Lucas Hernandes has been ruled out of the clash with a torn muscle bundle. Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller are doubts for the game due to illness.
The six-time Czech champions will face Bayern for the fifth time ever when both sides lock horns at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening. Viktoria Plzen first encountered Bayern in the Champions League in the 2013/2014 season group stage. The German giants won the first leg 5-0 at home under Pep Guardiola and sealed a tight 1-0 win in Czech. Their first ever encounters were in the 1971/1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup and Bayern won both legs 1-0 and 6-1.
Plzen will be without Pavel Bucha through suspension after the midfielder was shown a red card against Inter Milan before the international break. They will be without striker Petr Pejsa.
