German giants Bayern Munich will be hosting Austria’s Salzburg in the return leg of their Round of 16 clash in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The two sides go into this game tied at 1-1 from the first leg. Bayern Munich were lucky to get the draw, Kingsley Coman scoring a stoppage time equalizer, and they will hope for a more comfortable outing at home. Ahead of this game, Bayern played to a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, another highlight of the dropping standards at the German giants. They have managed just one clean sheet in the last seven matches, which coincides with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s injury, and the German international will still be out of this game. Bayern have also lost some of their attacking fluidity as in the last five, they’ve managed more than a goal in just two games. Three of their last five matches have, as a result, borne under 2.5 goals.

In their last nine matches, Salzburg haven’t tasted defeat, and after the first leg draw, they will be confident of holding their own against the German giants. In three previous meetings, Salzburg have a draw and two losses against Bayern Munich, and coming from a 4-0 win over Rheindorf Altach, they have the momentum to take them into this fixture. Against Bayern in Munich, they know it will be tough; the first time they went there for a Champions League game, they lost 3-1. Ahead of this game they have three straight clean sheets and have only conceded twice in the last five matches, one of these goals a late one against Bayern. Their weekend win was just one of two in the last five that have produced at least three goals. Three of their last five matches have returned under 2.5 goals and in the Champions League they aren’t the highest of scorers either. In the last four matches in the Champions League, Salzburg haven’t scored more than a goal.
