Due to a slew of recent injuries, Bayern Munich will travel to Spain as the betting underdog. Michael Olise’s injury status might be the key to Bayern expecting to win or trying to escape with any points.
The tactical battle between Aaron Danks and Diego Simeone will be fascinating to watch. Bayern is the only undefeated team in Europe this season but Atletico Madrid has won eight of its last nine matches, only dropping points in a 1-1 draw against Stuttgart.
Atletico has only allowed one goal in its last five matches, creating the paradox of Bayern’s unstoppable force versus Atletico’s immovable force. SBN App: Engage with match threads on Bavarian Football Works from your phone with the new SB Nation app.
