Bayern München - Juventus FC

On Tuesday, two European legends will fight for the right to participate in the Champions League semi-final. Bayern Munich and Juventus - these are the most successful clubs currently in their countries and occupy the first places in the standings. Their dominance is shown by the fact that Bayern leads by 20 points to the second - Borussia Dortmund and Juventus to Napoli by 9 points.

Juventus will come into this game inspired by the recent important win 2-1 over Inter Milan. On the other hand, Bayern defeated Hamburger by the overwhelming 9-2 this weekend and the players are full with confidence and strenght.

Despite the overwhelming dominance of Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga the team is not always so convincing in his performance in the Champions League. Bavarians already have two losses in this edition and face an opponent with no loss. Juventus last loss as a guest in a European tournament was in 2010 when the team was beaten 4-1 by Fulham in the Europa League.

In the previous encounter between the two opponents, Bayern beat Juventus 4-1 in season 2009/2010 and eliminated them from the group stage of the tournament.

Jerome Boateng and Bastian Schweinsteiger will likely return for Bayern, having missed the previous game against Arsenal but Javi Martinez is suspended for the game. For Juventus the squad problems are associated with the health of Sebastian Giovinco, who received an injury in the game against Inter, but is included in the players list for the match.

We are about to see two top teams in the first game of very important eliminations and we can expect a strong and reasonable play without unnecessary risks. For Juventus to score an away goal will be helpful to take advantages for the second home game. Bayern, on the other hand, will try to prevent it and score at least one goal. This is going to be a great game and a great battle between two giants of European football.
