In the last six seasons, they have reached at least the quarter-finals, and even won the title in the 2019/20 season, making their overall strength hard to underestimate. As the Bundesliga powerhouse, Bayern has won all five matches in various competitions this season. Star forward Harry Kane has continued his brilliant form from last season, contributing 11 goals across all competitions so far. He has performed exceptionally well against Chelsea, averaging a goal involvement every two matches in his career against the Blues.
Chelsea, as the reigning Europa League champions, return to the Champions League stage after a four-year absence. Although Palmer returned from injury in the last league match and even scored, the team was ultimately held to a draw by Brentford, and their overall form is not ideal. Key players such as Draper, R. Rabiot, and Colwill are sidelined due to injury, putting the squad depth and defensive stability under strain.
Although Chelsea remain unbeaten this season, like Bayern, they have kept a clean sheet in only two of four matches, highlighting vulnerabilities in their defense. Facing Bayern’s star-studded attack, Chelsea will be under enormous pressure. Bayern are therefore expected to claim a narrow home victory.
Recommended Bet: Home Win ✅
