The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Atalanta lock horns with Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich side in a crucial encounter at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Bayern Munich secured a stunning 6-1 victory in the first leg last week and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this week.
Thanks for the submission!
Bayern Munich vs Atalanta Preview
Atalanta are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. La Dea held Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are at the top of the Bundesliga table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. The Bavarian outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
