Celtic v Bayern Munich Team News

Taking the 3-0 defeat at PSG into consideration, Bayern Munich are far from unstoppable when playing abroad. In the last 3 years, they have played 18 away ties in the Champions League (CL) and went on to lose half of them (P18, W6, D3, L9).

Every Celtic game in the CL this season has been an annihilation job for one team or the other (lost 5-0 in Paris and 3-0 in Munich, but won 3-0 away to Anderlecht). All the games had over 2.5 goals and none of the game saw both teams score.

Munich have not lost a game since Jupp Heynckes returned to the helm (P5, W4, D1). They have scored the first goal in each of these games, and won 4 games to nil.

The Jupp Heynckes effect is absolutely visible as recent form has helped the team to climb back to the top of Bundesliga (BL) again. The last two games featured victories against chasers RB Leipzig (2-0 at home in the BL and 5-4 after penalty shoot out in Leipzig in the DFB Pokal).

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Celtic: Gordon - Tierney, Boyata, Lustig, Gamboa - Brown, Ntcham - Sinclair, Armstrong, Roberts - Griffiths (4-2-3-1 formation)

Bayern Munich: Ulreich - Alaba, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich - Martinez, Tolisso - Coman, Alcantara, Robben - Vidal (4-2-3-1 formation)

Missing Players of Celtic and Bayern Munich:

Celtic: Anthony Ralston, Erik Sviatchenko, Jozo Simunovic.

Bayern Munich: Franck Ribery, Manuel Neuer, Juan Bernat, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller.
