Anderlecht v Bayern Munich Team News

The oldest coach in the league has just won his 500th Bundesliga match and promised that his team will be even stronger when injured players like Franck Ribery and Thomas Muller are back.

RSC Anderlecht have faced Bayern in the Champions League (CL) 3 times at their own stadium and haven’t lost any of those games (1W, 2D), but the last match in Belgium was in the ‘07/08 UEFA Cup and the German side won by a whopping 5 goals to zero.

Though Bayern have already qualified for the Round of 16, they need a win at Anderlecht to maintain the hope of claiming top spot in Group B.

It has been a really bad CL campaign for Anderlecht this season, as the team have lost all 4 matches with no goals scored and 15 goals conceded (at least 3 goals conceded in every game).

Just two competitive matches have been lost by Bayern Munich this season, but both defeats happened on foreign grounds. They did, however, win 7 of the 8 other away games, drawing 1.

As mentioned, Anderlecht haven’t scored a goal in the CL but have scored 22 times in 15 league matches this season. They also appear to finish off games well, as 10 of these goals were scored after the 76th minute.

Bayern Munich has scored in the last 9 matches. However, Anderlecht haven’t scored in 4 of the last 7 matches (both in all competitions).

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Anderlecht: Sels - Appiah, Spajic, Kara, Chipciu - Trebel, Kums - Onyekuru, Dendoncker, Gerkens - Teodorczyk (4-2-3-1 formation)
