FC Bayern Munich vs Slovan Bratislava
- Competition: UEFA Champions League
- Date: Wednesday, January 29
- Time: 08:00 PM GMT
- Venue: Allianz Arena
FC Bayern Munich vs Slovan Bratislava will take place at the Allianz Arena in the UEFA Champions League on January 29, the 15th-placed team will host the 35th-placed team on Wednesday night.
A shocking 3-0 defeat to Feyenoord last time out in the Champions League jeopardised Bayer Munich’s chances of making the top eight but they can finish the league phase in style at home if they can defeat Slovan Bratislava. mathematically the top eight is still reachable for the Bavarian giants but it is very unlikely. Die Roten dominated their last UCL game but were not clinical enough to score goals and hence they lost the away game.
In seven Champions League games, they have won four and lost three games putting them in the 15th place with 12 points on board. They are the league leaders in Bundesliga but in the continental competition, their performance has been inconsistent. In the last five fixtures, they have won four and lost once. Die Roten’s home performance this season has been good and they will look to get another win at home against a good opponent.
The Visitors have lost all seven games which they played in the Champions League and have got zero points till now. They suffered some heavy losses in the continental competition as they lost to Celtic by 5-1 and 4-0 to Manchester City. Slovan Bratislava have a negative goal difference of 18 and surely they will be very disappointed in how they have let their fans down.
In the last five games, they have lost three games and won two games. They do have players who are good and capable of creating trouble for the opponents but still, their quality is not yet there to compete in the UCL. Facing the Bavarian giants away from home will be a tough task for sure, they will have to give their best and hope not to concede many against them. This will be an exciting clash for sure.
