Salzburg vs Bayern Munich

Red Bull Salzburg qualified for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 by finishing as runners-up in Group G behind LOSC Lille. The Austrian giants have enjoyed a superb run of form lately, losing only one of their last nine games across all competitions while cruising to the Austrian Bundesliga title again this season.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich reached the UEFA Champions League knockout stages by clinching the top spot in Group E ahead of Benfica and Barcelona by winning all their six group stage games. But the Bavarian giants come into Wednesday’s game on the back of a shock 4-2 defeat to VfL Bochum and will be eager to bounce back to winning ways this midweek.

Red Bull Salzburg and Bayern Munich were drawn together in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, with Bayern winning both games.
