The results for all of Bayern's last 10 matches were very high-scoring. Each of those games had three or more goals. Bayern averaged 3.8 goals per match over their last five. Bayern has played some big matches; draws with Viking (3-3), Arsenal (2-2), and Dortmund (2-2) indicate just how wide open those can be. The one constant was that Bayern did not keep a clean sheet in their last seven.

There may also be another reason that the trend will be difficult to continue. Bayern has several injured players. They include two major injuries: Neuer and Olise, and also Gnabry and Saibari left the pitch early against Dortmund. In addition to these injuries Bayern has lost Luis Diaz for this match. Also due to illness Kompany cannot coach, so Bayern will be coached by Aaron Danks.

Atletico have allowed fewer chances than Bayern. Over the same time period as Bayern Atletico have achieved six clean sheets. This is the biggest risk in this game. Still Atletico have scored 13 goals in each of their last six home games. There are many potential threats on Atletico's side including Julian Alvarez, Alex Baena, and Giuliano Simeone. However Atletico have had Koke and Cristian Romero back from injury, but Hjulmand has been suspended and there is now a hole in midfield.

Both teams are currently ranked below them in terms of position. Bayern are 14th while Atletico are 16th. Therefore, each team needs to win. It should therefore be expected that this will be a high-scoring match with at least three goals.
