Overview
Bayern Munich won 3-1 against Augsburg last weekend to continue to maintain a 6-point gap over Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga championship race. This was also their second consecutive victory and extended their unbeaten streak to 4 (3 wins).
After the surprising defeat against Bochum, coach Vincent Kompany's team has returned extremely strongly. They will play at home in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Inter Milan. At the Allianz Arena, they have shown impressive form with 10 wins in the last 12 matches (averaging 3.3 goals/match).
However, the "Gray Tigers" cannot help but worry as their squad is seriously declining. Against Augsburg, Jamal Musiala suffered a hamstring injury and was sidelined for a long time.
The German midfielder will join the injury list alongside Davies, Upamecano, Ito, Neuer, Coman and Pavlovic. This will definitely give Kompany a headache in finding a replacement.
For Inter Milan, despite leading Parma 2-0 in the first half, the Nerazzurri were equalized within 9 minutes and accepted to share the points. This once again showed the unstable away form of the blue half of Milan.
Coach Simone Inzaghi's team won 2, drew 4, lost 2 of their last 8 away matches and could not win their last 2 matches.
The two teams have met 7 times in the Champions League, in which Bayern Munich won 4. Inter had 2 happy times, the rest was a draw. Notably, matches between the two teams often have many goals scored.
Personnel situation
As mentioned, Bayern Munich suffered a big loss when Musiala suffered a hamstring tear in the match against Augsburg.
On the other side of the front line, Alessandro Bastoni was forced off injured in the match against Parma. However, coach Inzaghi is still optimistic about the Italian player's chances of playing.
Expected lineup:
Bayern Munich: Urbig, Laimer, Kim Min-jae, Dier, Guerreiro, Palhinha, Kimmich, Olise, Muller, Sane, Kane.
Inter Milan: Sommer, Acerbi, Bisseck, Bastoni, Darmian, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez.
The match between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan takes place at 2:00 am on April 9 (Vietnam time).
