Bayern Munich would be guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16 of the Champions League with a victory.
Bayern Munich will play Viktoria Plzen at the Doosan Arena in the Czech Republic in an effort to increase its point total and maybe take the top spot in Group C of the UEFA Champions League.
Due to Bayern’s unexpectedly weak start to the Bundesliga, where they have only amassed 16 points from 9 games and are currently lying in third place, Julian Nagelsmann has come under heavy fire from the media.
But despite losing to Barcelona and Inter, they have won their first three games in the group to keep their pristine record in the Champions League. With a victory tonight, they will have 12 points, which ensures their entry into the Round of 16.
