Group-leading underdog Victoria take on Bayern, who have already secured the de facto first place. All that remains is to make the play-offs official. The Czech club had previously lost to Barcelona, then lost to Inter before conceding five unanswered goals to Bayern in an away game. It all turned out to be very predictable. Of course, Viktoria will try to offer at least some resistance to the big-name rivals. They can't play with their hands down in the hometown area and disappoint their fans again. Prior to that, the Pilsen-based club defeated Mlada Boleslav in the Czech league and at least lifted their spirits a bit. In the Champions League, the Munich side have been playing very confidently; the same cannot be said for the Bundesliga, where Bayern do not yet look like a formidable force. In the German championship, the club is only third after nine rounds. They are four points behind the leading side Union. Earlier, Bayern could clinch the important three points in the away game against Borussia Dortmund, but failed to hold on for the win. "The Bumblebees got back into the game at the end and snatched a draw. Bayern fans believe the club will not let up in the return leg against Viktoria. They need to win and qualify for the Champions League play-offs early. However, Julian Nagelsmann's side have staffing problems. The visitors won't be able to count on Alphonso Davies and Matteijs de Ligt. In addition, the participation of Serge Gnabry is also questionable. The 16-year-old wunderkind Paul Wanner could get a chance to take to the pitch. Victoria prove to be completely uncompetitive in the "group of death". The Czechs are unlikely to surprises in three rounds, without scoring a single point. Bayern have not yet guaranteed themselves anything, so the visitors will have no problem with motivation. Given the huge difference in class between the teams, we shouldn't expect any sensations. The spectators will see another confident win for the favourites. A week ago, Bayern showed a real masterclass on home soil. The scenario is likely to repeat itself. Victoria can't avoid another defeat in the Champions League. They could be resounding, but they will dominate in the Czech Republic and have a deserved chance to win. We should bet on Bayern to win with a handicap (-1.5) goal.
