Bayern Munich will be looking to move on to the quarterfinals of the Champions League when they host Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena with kickoff at 11 pm.
The hosts will be looking to maintain they’re fine record in the Champions League when they welcome Salzburg to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night. The Bundesliga champions won six of their group games and beat Barcelona twice en route to topping Group E, and they are aiming for a Champions League quarter-final spot for the 18th time.
Bayern was far from their best in the first leg last month, but they managed to level late on through Coman, with the result making it 22 away games in the competition without a defeat. The Bundesliga champions won all six of their Group E matches to finish top of the section, beating Barcelona twice in the process.
Last season, Bayern were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain in the competition’s quarter-finals. They have reached the quarter-finals or better in nine of their last ten seasons, so it would be a huge surprise if the German outfit were not present in the final eight: Salzburg is unlikely to be able to match them for quality.
Salzburg finished second in Group G of this year’s Champions League, achieving 10 points from their six matches against Lille, Sevilla, and Wolfsburg.
