Team News:

• Pafos have problems of their own as several players are unavailable. Alexandre Brito joins Wilmer Odefalk, Athanasios Papadoudis, and Pedrão on the ineligible list, while, Bruno serves a suspension after his red card in the last Champions League match.
• Bayern Munich have a list of absentees that could affect their squad. Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Jonas Urbig, and Josip Stanišić.

Player(s) to watch:

• Jajá is the one Pafos FC will look to as a vital figure against Bayern Munich, with the winger’s pace and sharp counter-attacks offering a clear outlet. He carries the responsibility of stretching the German defence. His direct style could provide Pafos with their best chance to trouble such a dominant opponent.
• Harry Kane stands at the centre of Bayern Munich’s plans against Pafos FC, and his sharp finishing with clever link-up play makes him the clear danger. Bayern rely on collective strength, but Kane’s presence in the box creates constant pressure. His influence could shape the rhythm of the contest.
