On Tuesday night, Manchester City and FC Bayern Munich will meet in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, the English champions facing their German counterparts. Manchester City will host FC Bayern Munich at Etihad Stadium. This match is also special for Thomas Tuchel as he is ready to return to the UCL after being sacked by Chelsea. Bayern Munich appointed Thomas Tuchel a few days ago, replacing Julian Nagelsmann. However, Thomas Tuchel is now returning to England as the manager of Bayern Munich.

Stats & Facts

FC Bayern Munich played against big names more than other clubs this season. They played against Inter Milan and FC Barcelona in the group round. After that, the Bavarians faced Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16. Even though Bayern Munich played against these top teams, they have always won. However, Pep Guardiola’s Man City are also flying in the Champions League. They smashed RB Leipzig in the Round of 16, defeating them on an 8-1 aggregate.

Manchester City met Bayer Munich six times before, all in the UCL. However, both sides won three matches each. Moreover, Manchester City have a good record at home against Bayern, winning their last two meetings at Etihad.

Team News

There was a major doubt about the top scorer of the Premier League, Ering Haaland. He missed a league game due to an injury. But he has returned and played Man City’s last game, where the Norwegian scored a brace in his return to the pitch. Haaland has already scored 30 league goals in 28 matches and netted ten goals in the UCL. So the goal machine is fully fit and ready to play against Bayern Munich. The remaining players are fit for this match except for the only absentee, Phil Foden.

As for Bayern, they have some injury issues in their squad. In-form striker Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting is likely to miss the match due to a knee problem. However, Leon Goretzka is hopeful to make a return to the team.

Prediction: Man City 2-1 Bayern

As the home team, Manchester City will get the home advantage. They are arguably the best-attacking side in Europe, scoring 31 goals in their last eight games. Meanwhile, Bayern’s defensive weakness has been seen in their last few matches. They kept six clean sheets in their previous 16 games.
