Bayern Munich travel to Austria for a Tuesday night clash with RB Salzburg in the Champions League. The reigning champions of the competition have taken their unstoppable form into the new season and sit top of Group A after two games. Victories over Atletico Madrid (4-0) and Lokomotiv Moscow (1-2) extended Bayern's record run of UCL wins to 13. Salzburg are third in the table having drawn their opener 2-2 with Lokomotiv before succumbing to a 3-2 defeat in Madrid. This is the first meeting between the clubs and Bayern's first away fixture against an Austrian club outside of Vienna. Salzburg have failed to win three of their last four home matches in European competition, so the timing of their Red Bull Arena fixture against the strongest team on the planet isn't fantastic. They have failed to win four of their seven home fixtures against German opposition. The last German team to travel to Salzburg was Eintracht Frankfurt, who had to make do with a 2-2 draw in last season's Europa League knockout stages. The draw contributed to an overall aggregate win of 6-3 for the German side. Bayern will be expected to collect all three points.

Bayern's only defeat of the season was a shock 4-1 loss at Hoffenheim, but otherwise, their away form has been stellar. They won their subsequent four away fixtures as well as the previous 15. Only one of their last ten away matches featured fewer than three goals, that being the 1-0 final victory over PSG in last year's competition. Salzburg are unbeaten in their last 15 home games in all competitions and have shown quality despite the loss of star players in recent months. They were five minutes away from getting a point in Spain on their last European outing, yet Bayern provide a sterner test. We anticipate a goal-fest. Back over 4.5 goals.
