Champions League continues bringing us very interesting match between Chelsea and German giant Bayern Munich. It's going to be spectacle and good opportunity for me to win a tip after few shots in emptiness on Watford against Manchester and X2 on Everton yesterday.
Chelsea
London club is not in great form. They won Tottenham 2:1 few days ago, but way they are playing is not very impressive. They are 4th in Premier League fighting with Manchester United for that place which is leading to Champions League next season. Form they are showing when playing at home is not to impressive too. Players in defense like Zoumah or Ruddier look to unstable for the biggest stage.
Bayern
German giant is ravening in German Bundesliga. They score a lot of goals which is no wonder when they have "Red Baron" Robert Lewandowski in squad. It's hard to forget what they did to Tottenham in London or to Red Star in Belgrade in group stage of Champions League. Only club which hold them to 0:0 draw this month was Leipzig. They are real goal machine.
Form
Chlesea somehow went to next stage after losing against Valencia at home. They have luck and referee help against Ajax in 4-4 draw. Two wins against Lille were enough for next stage.
17.09.19 UCL Chelsea 0 - 1 Valencia
02.10.19 UCL Lille 1 - 2 Chelsea
23.10.19 UCL Ajax 0 - 1 Chelsea
05.11.19 UCL Chelsea 4 - 4 Ajax
27.11.19 UCL Valencia 2 - 2 Chelsea
10.12.19 UCL Chelsea 2 - 1 Lille
Bayern won every game in Champions League they played this season:
18.09.19 UCL Bayern Munich 3 - 0 Crvena Zvezda
01.10.19 UCL Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 7 Bayern Munich
22.10.19 UCL Olympiakos Piraeus 2 - 3 Bayern Munich
06.11.19 UCL Bayern Munich 2 - 0 Olympiakos Piraeus
26.11.19 UCL Crvena Zvezda 0 - 6 Bayern Munich
11.12.19 UCL Bayern Munich 3 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur
Sidelined players
Chelsea has three players injured: Kanté (Adductor Injury), van Ginkel (ACL Injury) and Pulisic - "Captain America" (Groin Injury). Kante's injury is big blow.
Bayern's only injury is Süle (ACL injury).
Conclusion
According to bookies Bayern is big favorite here, they give odd 1.80 for Bayern win. Chelsea win or draw is worth 4. Atmosphere at Stamford Bridge will be surely hot, but German clubs don't fall on that. They play same high tempo football from first to last minute no matter what result is. Gnabri and Robert Lewandowski will be non solved misteries for Chelsea defense. There is no way Ruddier or Zoumah can stop them. I expect defensive tactic of Chelsea to hold 0:0 as long as they can with counter attack attempts. They will concede goal and that will be the end.
I expect Bayern Munich win here 1:3 and Robert Lewandoski to score first goal.
