On Wednesday, Bayern Munich, the last German team in the competition, will enter the Champions League play-offs. The fate has been kind to them, they will play Salzburg from Austria in the eighth round. The first match is played on the field of the underdog.
Salzburg is sailing through the season gracefully and successfully. It has lost only nine points in the league and has a fourteen-point lead over second place in the Champions League, unexpectedly leaving Sevilla and Wolfsburg behind in the table.
Bayern also lead their league, but after the weekend loss their lead over second-placed Dortmund has shrunk to six points. Bayern went through to the Champions League eight-finals from top spot in a group with Benfica Lisbon, Barcelona and Dynamo Kiev.
Salzburg relies on Karim Adeyemi’s goals, the German international has scored eighteen times through all competitions, adding four assists. Right back Rasmus Kristensen boasts an incredible record of 9+7.
Robert Lewandowski, the top scorer through the Top 5 leagues, has thirty-seven hits and three assists. Midfielder Thomas Müller is also having an excellent season with ten goals and twenty assists.
Salzburg rely on a goal-scoring attack, with the Austrian champion scoring more than two goals in five of their last seven games.
Bayern also performs reliably on their opponents’ pitches, winning five of their last six away games, three times by two or more goals.
Considering Bayern’s offensive strength, the Robert Lewandowski factor and productivity on the opponents’ pitches, I think Bayern will win by two or more goals.
