This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Bayern München at Allianz Arena when the Champions League tournament arrives in town and Lokomotiv Moskva with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

The hosts München saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Bundesliga. Thankfully the previous game, versus RB Leipzig, was also a home game here at Allianz Arena. The away team is better rested. It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for München and Lokomotiv Moskva.

These teams have little in common geographically as Lokomotiv Moskva have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Bayern München form and stats

The story so far in the Bundesliga for Bayern München at their home stadium (Allianz Arena) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. In general it's been a long time since München tasted defeat here at Allianz Arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last 15 home games in the league.

The spoils were shared in München's previous game, also at home. Visiting RB Leipzig travelled back with a draw after a 3-3 scoreline. Before that, Bayern München played out a Champions League draw 1-1 when visiting Atlético Madrid.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

München are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won four, drew one and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for München as they are travelling to their away game against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of München is on fire here. A stunning 21 from 5 league matches. München have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats

Lokomotiv's mission in Champions League last season failed in the group stage.

2-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lokomotiv Moskva in their Premier League matches away. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses both home and away.

Lokomotiv won their last game, 3-1 versus Rubin Kazan played at home. The game before that, in the Champions League, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Salzburg.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Lokomotiv played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected zero times.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lokomotiv manager M. Nikolić as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Krasnodar.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lokomotiv Moskva as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Lokomotiv have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Lokomotiv Moskva - München 1-2 earlier this season.
