Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will battle for first place in Champions League Group B on Tuesday evening, as the two sides compete for a place in the next round with kickoff at 11 pm.
Bayern Munich has been unstoppable in their Champions League group, winning all five of their matches and scoring 16 times while conceding just twice.
The German champions beat Inter and Barcelona 2-0 in the first two games before back-to-back victories over Viktoria Plzen with nine goals scored.
Then they put in a brilliant performance at Camp Nou last week, recording a 3-0 victory courtesy of goals from Sadio Mane, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and Benjamin Pavard. It’s the type of result that would have made their potential challengers take notice.
Inter secured their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League after defeating Viktoria Plzen 4-0 last week.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Edin Dzeko (twice), and Romelu Lukaku were on target for the Italian giants, who lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich in their section opener on September 7.
They have won three of their last four in the competition. At the same time, a 3-3 draw at Barcelona on October 12 proved to be a crucial result—as it left them needing only to beat Viktoria Plzen at home to secure the second position.

Bayern Munich Team News
Bayern Munich will again be without Bouna Sarr, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Muller for Tuesday’s Champions League contest with Inter due to injury. Matthijs de Ligt is also expected to miss out on the issue that he picked up against Mainz in the league on Saturday, which could see Benjamin Pavard feature at center-back instead.
Inter Milan Team News
Inter will be without Marcelo Brozovic, Dalbert, and Gabriel Brazao for the trip to Juventus due to injury, but Lukaku is unlikely to start against Maurizio Sarri’s men. Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez are both in line for a spot in attack.

German champions have been ruthless in Europe this season, and we expect them to make it a 100% record in Group F.
