FC Bayern München form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.

The followers enjoyed München's previous match versus Viktoria Plzen, a Champions League win (5-0) played at home. That victory felt sweet as this side had gone four league matches without winning. Midfield player Mané was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.24/10. Mané scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Bayer Leverkusen.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the FC Bayern München manager Nagelsmann as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Viktoria Plzen.

The FC Bayern München manager Nagelsmann has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 14 goals in 4 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
