International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Lokomotiv Moskva and Bayern München are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

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 Lokomotiv Moskva and Bayern München.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Bayern München, who are travelling more than 2300 kilometers to play this game.

Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats

Lokomotiv was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Champions League.

4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Lokomotiv Moskva so far this season.

Lokomotiv Moskva's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Rotor Volgograd. A 2-2 draw away in the Champions League before that, with Salzburg the opponent.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Anton Miranchuk for missing a penalty kick versus Rotor Volgograd in the 82nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lokomotiv as they are travelling to their away game against Sochi in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

The Lokomotiv fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Lokomotiv have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Bayern München form and stats

Bayern München's mission in Champions League was a complete success: Victory!

Bayern München are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Bundesliga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Bayern München won their last game, 5-0 versus Eintracht Frankfurt played at home. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Atlético Madrid in the Champions League.

As you can tell from the results above, München was very dominant against Eintracht Frankfurt, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Jamal Musiala, Robert Lewandowski (3) and Leroy Sané providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Robert Lewandowski's lethal finishing against Eintracht Frankfurt. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with München given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 21 matches with 17 wins as expected, three draws and one surprise home win. The favourites won twelve of these games by at least two goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the München manager H. Flick as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Köln.

5 goals so far away for Bayern München, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
