Pep Guardiola’s men have just regained control of the Premier League title race and will look to keep up their hot form in Europe. Across all competitions, City is on an eight-game winning streak with 31 goals scored and only four conceded.
City’s season has been underwhelming for many, but they have a chance to complete it by winning a treble, which shows that things actually haven’t gone too badly for the side. With Erling Haaland in spectacular form, City should also have a great chance to complete the treble.
The Norwegian star has just hit 30 for the Premier League season and boasts 44 goals across all competitions. He’s had a special love story with the Champions League through the years, bagging 33 goals in 25 appearances, and as a former Dortmund man, you know that Haaland would love to get a goal or two against Bayern.
Can Thomas Tuchel figure out a way to stop Haaland? He’s had a mixed start to life in Munich, winning twice and losing once in three games in charge of Bayern.
Tuchel had an incredible record against Guardiola in England, winning three of five meetings against him during his Chelsea days, including the 2021 Champions League final. Guardiola ended up beating him in both clashes last season, but these were tight 1-0 games and could’ve easily ended up in Tuchel’s favor again. He appears to be one of the few managers who know how to identify weaknesses in Guardiola’s game plan.
The teams clash for a seventh time in the Champions League and home advantage has previously been very important. There have been only two away victories in the match-up so far with both sides triumphing once on the road. With City having failed to win just two of their last 28 home outings, a victory for Bayern would be a big achievement Tuesday night.
