Bayern Munich vs Red Star Belgrade
Bayern Munchen will open UCL Group B qualifiers as hosts. They will face Red Star Belgrade, who plans to arrive at the Allianz Arena. The game at home must end with maximum points.
Bayern Munich have just played a tough match at home to RB Leipzig. They visited there last Saturday (9/14) with a final position of 1-1. This draw holds them in 4th place Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, Red Star Belgrade must wait at the end of the fight to be able to achieve a dramatic victory over Indjija. The host was left behind until the 87th minute ‘before equalizing through a Milan Pavkov penalty, then won the same way two minutes later. Thanks to these results, they also closed the opening 6 matches of the Serbian League with a perfect report card.
This achievement is certainly a very valuable asset before arriving at Allianz, especially if coach Vladan Milojevic also has a fairly complete squad ahead of tomorrow’s match. The captain and former Borussia Monchengladbach player, Marko Marin, can already be played with Milos Degenek who also played in the Bundesliga with VfB Stuttrgart.
On the other hand, Bayern Munchen had to lose David Alaba who suffered an injury while warming up counter RB Leipzig, while Leon Goretzka is still recovering after undergoing surgery.
The absence of the two players is expected not to damage the balance of FC Hollywood, moreover this will be the first appearance of Philiipe Coutinho at UCL since his loan from Barcelona. The former Inter Milan and Liverpool player is certainly trying to look their best after yesterday only coming off the bench against RB Leipzig.
The Little Witch’s motivation must be used by Bayern Munchen to win, especially if this will be the first clash at Allianz. Red Star Belgrade can be a threat with a fairly complete squad, but playing at Allianz will put enormous pressure. Chances are the host wins.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.29
