Bayern München form and stats

München was sent out of Champions League in the 8th finals last season, when Liverpool turned out to be too strong.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 13 wins, 2 draws and only 2 losses in the Bundesliga. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 9 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses both home and away. In general it has been a productive period now for München as they haven't lost any of their last 20 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Borussia M'gladbach game have they lost an away game, meaning Bayern München has taken points from ten away matches in a row.

It's the second away game in a row for München, but there's smiles all around after the 8-2 victory versus Barcelona in the Champions League last time out. Before that, München secured a home win against Chelsea with the score 4-1.

As you can tell from the results above, München was very dominant against Barcelona, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 8-2 (!) with Robert Lewandowski, Ivan Perišić, Joshua Kimmich, Philippe Coutinho (2), Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller (2) providing the goals.
