On Wednesday, starting with 20:00, the match Bayern – Lokomotiv Moscow will be played, within the group stage of the Champions League. In the round, Bayern won 2-1 in Moscow, through the goals scored by Goretzka and Kimmich, respectively Miranchuk. Thus, the Bavarians obtained the second victory in 3 direct matches with Lokomotiv Moscow. In addition to the Germans and Russians, Atletico Madrid and Salzburg are also in Group A.
Bayern is undefeated after the first 5 stages in Group A, already ticking the qualification in the eighth round of the Champions League, due to the 13 points accumulated. In the previous round, the Bavarians drew at Atletico Madrid, 1-1, despite using a first 11 with many reserves. Hansi Flick’s students come after a spectacular draw in the Bundesliga, 3-3 in Munich with Leipzig, keeping a one-point lead at the top of the standings, against Leverkusen, second ranked.
With 3 points obtained in the first 5 stages, Lokomotiv Moscow can only climb to third place, but it depends on the result of Salzburg (4 points) with Atletico Madrid (6 points). If the Russians get a point with Bayern, and the Austrians lose to Diego Simeone’s group, this is not enough to qualify for the Europa League, because Salzburg wins the match. Thus, Lokomotiv Moscow has nothing to lose and will play its chance on “Allianz Arena”, being high possibilities for a duel with many goals.
