Bayern Munich vs Chelsea form
Half a decade has passed since defeating PSG to win the Champions League, but Bayern Munich has yet to reach the top of Europe again. However, the Bundesliga champions have proven their mettle as a giant by continuously overcoming the group stage/classification stage, reaching the quarter-finals 4 times and stopping in the semi-finals once.
This season, Bayern Munich is expected to at least return to the final match. Although they have said goodbye to Kingsley Coman, the Allianz Stadium team has managed to strengthen their attack with two very promising contracts from the Premier League, Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson.
The Bavarian giants’ strength was evident from the start. The team, under the direction of coach Vincent Kompany, won all five matches since the start of the season to assert their absolute dominance in the domestic arena.
However, those are not surprising statistics. For Bayern, the war within Germany's borders over the past few decades has been seen as a walk in the park, without much challenge.
Maybe in a few seasons, FC Hollywood lost the Bundesliga Silver Plate or the National Cup to other opponents, but if looking at the overall picture, Bayern still casts a huge shadow over domestic football.
Not having to endure much pressure from the domestic arena helps the Allianz Stadium team to focus on the essence of the Champions League. If they can win all 3 points in the reception of Chelsea, the opportunity for Kompany and his team to pass the group stage/classification once again is very feasible.
Because then, Bayern will only have to face real difficulties in the two confrontations with PSG and Arsenal. The remaining faces such as Club Brugge, Sporting, PSV Eindhoven, Union SG or Pafos are not considered worthy of the German giant.
On the other side of the front line, Chelsea is also ready to make a difference this season. The FIFA Club World Cup title marks a new cycle of success waiting for coach Enzo Maresca and his team to explore.
Although this is only the first season back on the prestigious playground after 2 years of absence, The Blues is still a name that can fly high thanks to a quality and deep squad.
In the Premier League, Chelsea had a less than impressive start, only winning 8/12 absolute points, but the performance of The Blues is still worth watching. Just need to improve the concentration in defense a little, the team at Stamford Bridge will become a machine that is not easy to beat.
Before the visit to Bavaria, Chelsea won 5, drew 1 and lost 1 in their last 7 away trips. However, in all 3 recent meetings with Bayern Munich, the away team ended up empty-handed. However, coach Maresca and his team can completely play in an offensive style, in the context of the opponent's defense system is not too solid.
