Bayern Munich come into this match highly motivated after the 4×0 at home against Leverkusen: Sané, Musiala, Mané and Muller scored the “goals” of this thrashing. The home team usually plays with a 4-3-3 tactical system, favouring quick transitions, mainly on the flanks. Sadio Mané, Leroy Sané and Mathys Tel are the three players tasked with occupying the forward positions, but coach Julian Nagelsmann will be without Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, Bouna Sarr, Joshua Kimmich and Lucas Hernández due to medical issues.

Viktoria Plzen come into this European fixture on the back of an away draw with Bohemians ’05 (1×1).
