Bayern Munich’s recent form has been a rollercoaster, with a shocking DBF-Pokal exit to Saarbrucken followed by an emphatic 4-0 victory against Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund. The Bavarian giants, led by the outstanding Harry Kane, have demonstrated their resilience and scoring prowess. Their return to the Allianz Arena is a source of confidence, as they have notched up impressive victories in their last four home games, including a thrilling 4-3 triumph over Manchester United in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich’s remarkable group stage performance this season includes three consecutive wins, establishing an unprecedented 37-game unbeaten run in Champions League group stages. Their dominance against Turkish opponents in European competitions is evident, with six consecutive wins, including a resounding 6-0 victory over Galatasaray in a historic encounter dating back to 1972-73.

Bayern Munich will be missing Matthijs de Ligt due to a partial knee ligament tear, while Tarek Buchmann continues to recover from a hamstring problem. However, the return of Dayot Upamecano and Leon Goretzka bolsters their defence and midfield. Joshua Kimmich, who served a domestic ban, is available for this crucial clash.
Galatasaray faces a challenge with goalkeeper Fernando Muslera sidelined due to an elbow injury, paving the way for Gunay Guvenc’s Champions League debut. Halil Dervisoglu is ineligible to play, and Abdulkerim Bardakci is expected to transition to centre-back, while Tete and Zaha offer attacking options.
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Laimer, Kimmich; Sane, Musiala, Coman; Kane
Galatasaray: Guvenc; Boey, Sanchez, Bardakci, Karatas; Ayhan, Torreira; Tete, Akturkoglu, Zaha; Icardi
