Match Overview: Bayern vs Chelsea

An electrifying Champions League encounter is on the horizon, reminiscent of the epic 2012 final.

Chelsea is set to face Bayern this Wednesday for their first match in this tournament since the quarter-finals of the 2022/23 season.

The ‘world champions’ have made a strong start to their Premier League campaign, remaining unbeaten with two victories and two draws from four matches leading up to this showdown.

Their comeback in the London derby last Saturday appeared hopeful, taking the lead in the closing minutes, only for Alejandro Garnacho to allow Fabio Carvalho to level it in stoppage time.

Chelsea’s European campaign begins with a tough encounter against a Bayern team, which was ousted in the quarter-finals last year by Inter, the eventual finalists, yet they have kicked off the current season with a bang.

Bayern boasts a flawless Bundesliga record after three matches, netting an impressive 14 goals during this stretch.

The last meeting between these clubs was in 2020, where Bayern triumphed 4-1 in the quarter-finals, having also won 3-0 in the first leg at Stamford Bridge.

Predictions for Bayern vs Chelsea

Attacking Strengths

The signing of Luis Diaz has significantly enhanced Bayern’s attacking trio, as evidenced by their scoring stats.

With 14 goals scored in their first three Bundesliga matches, plus three more in their German Cup game, they have amassed a total of 17 goals from four competitive outings this season, supported by their home crowd.

Prior to conceding two goals on Saturday, Chelsea had allowed just one goal in three matches but now faces a tougher challenge compared to their earlier league matches.

Player Cards

Jorrel Hato would be a solid bet at 17/5 for a card if he were to start, having received a card in both of his last two appearances, despite totaling only 70 minutes of playtime.

However, given his substitution at halftime last time out, he may not start. Focus instead shifts to Reece James, who will likely face a tough matchup against Luis Diaz and has already received a yellow card this season.

If James gets the starting nod, he will aim to prove himself, but a challenging evening is anticipated.
