Head-to-head:

• The first leg was their only UEFA Champions league meetings and Bayern Munich won 6-1.

• Bayern Munich are undefeated in their last 10 matches.

• Atalanta have failed to secure a win in their last five games.

• This will be the second-ever clash between these clubs.

Form:

• Bayern Munich in the Champions League: L-W-W-W-W

• Bayern Munich in all competitions: W-W-W-W-D

• Atalanta in the Champions League: L-L-L-W-L

• Atalanta in all competitions: L-D-D-L-D

Team News:

• Goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Jonas Urbig are major doubts for the match. 16-year-old Leonard Prescott is likely to start in goal for Munich. Alphonso Davies, Manuel Neuer, Hiroki Ito, David Santos Daiber, Wisdom Mike and Cassiano Kiala are not going to be in action for Bayern Munich. They are injured. Jonas Urbig might also sit out due to a lack of fitness.

• Atalanta will miss out on the services of Giacomo Raspadori due to his injury and Yunus Musah because of his suspension.

Player(s) to watch:

• Michael Olise has been performing well for Bayern Munich and is going to play a crucial part in the attacking front once again. He scored two goals and had an assist in the previous leg against La Dea. The Frenchman will lead the attack from the right and will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence with the ball at his feet.

• Nikola Krstovic will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side make a comeback against the German giants. He is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser against Inter Milan in Serie A. Even though he has not been in top form, the 25-year-old is going to be an important aspect of the squad.
