Bayern Munich vs Lokomotiv Moscow Prediction & Betting tips
In many places, the last day of the Champions League this week no longer has any appeal. On the one hand there is more money in the clubs’ coffers due to the group stage, on the other hand the competition suffers from the fact that the teams that have already qualified for the round of 16 no longer send their best team into the race. It will be the same in the game between Bayern Munich and Lokomotiv Moscow.
Bayern are already known as group winners. Behind that, however, things actually get really exciting in this pool. Lok Moscow is currently at the end of the ranking with three points, but with a win and a simultaneous defeat of RB Salzburg against Atletico Madrid, the Russians would at least hibernate in the Europa League. For the railway workers, there is a lot more at stake for Bayern.
At first glance, the well-known bookmakers give a clear prediction of a home win in the match between Bayern Munich and Lokomotiv Moscow, but the first leg has shown that the Russians can be quite uncomfortable for the Munich team. Precisely because Bayern will play with many players from the second guard, a surprise could be in the air.
The comparison of odds from the betting base shows, however, that the betting providers do not share this assessment at all. A lot stands and falls in this encounter with how seriously Bayern take it. The last few weeks have made it clear that the Bundesliga will be more difficult to win this year than it was recently and therefore the focus of the Munich team is currently more towards the league than the Champions League.
Bayern Munich :
Bayern are not only an absolute power in their own stadium in the Bundesliga, but also in the premier class. For the second year in a row, Munich now has the opportunity to win all home games in the group stage. In total, the German record champions have won 19 of the last 20 home games in the group stage of the Champions League.
Hansi Flick’s personal balance sheet is also quite impressive. He has coached Bayern 13 times on the top floor of European football. After twelve wins there was the last draw, also with a B-Eleven, at Atletico Madrid. Overall, Bayern Munich have been unbeaten in 15 European Cup games. Therefore, in the duel between Bayern and Lok Moscow, the odds on a guest victory should only play a subordinate role.
Last Saturday, Bayern were really challenged in the Bundesliga. In a balanced top game, Munich finally parted with a 3: 3 from RB Leipzig. That was an advertisement for football. Changing leadership, beautiful goals. The match also showed that FCB is vulnerable this season. Thomas Müller (2) and Jamal Musiala met for Bayern.
We assume that Bayern’s frequent players will not be used on Wednesday. Hansi Flick should bring up some youngsters again. Javi Martinez, Joshua Kimmich and Corentin Tolisso are already on the injured list of the Champions League. The rest of the line-up will also be a matter of freshness for each player.
Moscow locomotive:
The railway workers cannot be really satisfied with the season so far. In the Premier League table, it is only sixth after 17 match days. The renewed participation in the Champions League in the coming season is still in the stars. In addition, the Russians no longer have it in their own hands to winter in the European Cup.
Lok Moscow has been without a win in the premier class for ten games. The Russians celebrated their last success in Germany of all places, namely in September 2019 in Leverkusen. Nevertheless, one should not assume that it will be enough to win again in Munich. Experts and bookmakers agree: In the match between Bayern and Lokomotiv Moscow, the forecast is clearly in the direction of FCB.
After all, there was another victory last weekend. Rubin Kazan was a guest in the capital and the railway workers secured a 3-1 home win. However, the guests took the lead first. Vladislav Ignatiev equalized in the first half. After the change, Anton Miranchuk was successful with a penalty and again Vladislav Ignatiev.
The Russians cannot afford to play with a B-Elf on Wednesday. Mathematically, there is still a chance of third place and you want to use this with all your might, even if an away win in Munich is necessary. Mykhail Lysov, Dmitri Barinov, Daniil Kulikov and Fedor Smolov will be absent due to injuries. Murilo Cerqueira will have to watch suspended.
