Storylines
Bayern: The 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen likely means this attack is frustrated and hungry, and that could be bad for Salzburg. Bayern have an attack that simply overpowers inferior defenses, and here it should be no different. Expect Bayern to come out nearly full strength to book their spot in the round of 16 and then allow proper rest during the other matchdays. Bayern had scored at least two goals in every single one of their games this season entering this past weekend, and they'll likely get back to that pace in this one.
RB Salzburg: We are entering must-win territory for the Austrian side and American coach Jesse Marsch, but easier said than done, obviously. Salzburg lost 6-2 to Bayern last time out in a game that was much closer than the scoreline would indicate, but they actually played quite well. They'll need a sharper performance here and for Bayern's attack to just have an off night to have any shot of earning a victory. Lady luck must be on their side.
