Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen | Live Stream
Bayern Munich will host FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, looking to continue their impressive run of form in the European competition.
Bayern Munich have picked up four wins from four matches in the group stages and they will be firm favourites heading into the contest against FC Copenhagen. The Bundesliga champions are already assured of finishing atop Group A.
The Bavarian giants managed to pick up a 2-1 away from home when the two sides met earlier in the season in October. Bayern Munich will be hoping to grind out another victory against Copenhagen this week.
Meanwhile, the visitors are second in the league table with just one win from four group-stage matches. Apart from Bayern Munich, the other three teams in Group A have blown hot and cold, and all of them have an opportunity to secure their place in the knockout rounds.
Copenhagen cannot afford to keep dropping points if they want to book their place in the next round of the competition. So, with Galatasaray and Manchester United facing each other on Wednesday, Jacob Neestrup will want his charges to play out of his skin and get something from the game.
The home side will be without Tarek Buchmann, Matthijs de Ligt, Jamal Musiala and Tom Hulsmann due to their respective injuries. Musiala is ruled out with a hamstring injury and de Light is nursing a MCL issue.
Bayern Munich are likely to shape up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, with Manuel Neuer in goal. Noussair Mazraoui and Alphonso Davies will start as the full-backs. They will look to help out in the attack and protect the central defenders. Kim Min-jae will start alongside Dayot Upamecano in the heart of the defensive unit.
In the midfield, Joshua Kimmich will start alongside Leon Goretzka. While Kimmich will look to break up opposition attacks, Goretzka will add physicality and drive to the midfield. Thomas Muller will be deployed as the central attacking midfielder here, and he will link up with the striker and help create goalscoring opportunities in the final third.
Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane will start in the wide areas and they will look to add pace and flair to the side. Finally, Harry Kane will lead the line for Bayern Munich against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.
