Bayern Munich

Niko Kovac admitted after the first leg without an Anfield goal that it was difficult to find out if the result was more suitable for his side or for Liverpool. The answer to that question, of course, will be determined after the 90 minutes, or possibly more, this week.

However, Bayern seemed more happy with the stalemate and prepared to keep the three forwards of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in Liverpool.

LIV vs BAY

Mane lost a couple of good chances and Joel Matip also missed a great opportunity in a game with few points of conversation, with Bayern producing an impressive defensive performance to take a 0-0 draw with Bavaria.

It is at home that the German champions believe they can win this game, having won their last four matches in Bavaria against English teams. Liverpool, meanwhile, has suffered four consecutive defeats in the Champions League dating back to last season.

Liverpool will enjoy their chances of scoring at least once in the Allianz Arena, which means that Bayern will have to score twice. Kovac's team could not have achieved a single shot three weeks ago, the first in the Champions League since their semifinal against Barcelona in May 2015, but has not managed to score just once in their last 26 home games at the competition. .

In forward Robert Lewandowski, they also have a player who scored 23 goals in his last 22 Champions League games at the Allianz Arena, including nine in 10 elimination games. Liverpool may have more defensive options now than last month, but it will not be easy to maintain the opposition.

The two parties can have an identical record in the continent, but in recent years it is Bayern who has the best record. His goal is to reach the quarterfinals for the eighth consecutive season, falling for the last time in this stage in 2010-11 against Inter Milan.

Bayern also have a big boost in the week-long bout, having won 11 of their last 13 games, including successive loyalists in the German top flight.

Having been canceled not long ago in the Bundesliga title race, Kovac's team is now above Borussia Dortmund by goal difference thanks to their convincing 6-0 victory over Wolfsburg at the weekend. A repeat of that performance and surely will be curtains for Liverpool.

Liverpool

Unlike Bayern's opponents, Liverpool have lost control of first place in their national league and are in second place in the three weeks since the teams met for the last time.

The Reds played back-to-back draws against Manchester United and Everton, both finished 0-0 to get three draws in four games before facing each other in Sunday's home game with Burnley.

LIV vs BAY

Only a victory would be enough for Liverpool after the victory of Manchester City 3-1 over Watford, a day earlier to obtain four points of advantage at the top, and managed to accumulate the three points after falling to a controversial goal beginning, prevailing 4- 2 at the end.

The title charge of the Liverpool Premier League has stuttered over the past two months, failing to win consecutive games in that time. Already out of the FA Cup and defeated in the third round of the EFL Cup by Chelsea, a Champions League exit on Wednesday would leave all Jurgen Klopp's eggs in one basket.

That, in many ways, would not be a bad thing, since the focus can only remain at the end of your long wait for a first-class crown. City, by comparison, are still in the race for a quad.

However, Klopp surely will not put his side to lose in Bavaria, and Liverpool still has a great chance of progressing, even if they have lost four in a row on their European trips, going to Napoli, Red Star of Belgrade and Paris. Saint-Germain in the group stage, also lost the second part of his semifinal in Rome last May.

The Reds defied the odds of fighting until the last time, where they lost to a Real Madrid inspired by Gareth Bale, but that only increased the pressure on Klopp to win some kind of silver this season.

If they want to keep their European hopes alive, then the three previous leaders of Mane, Firmino and Salah simply have to get going.

Liverpool's only goal in their three out-of-the-Champions League games this season was a penalty by James Milner against PSG. Now, more than ever, the English giants need their talented attackers to step forward and make sure that this season of so much promise does not end on a low note.

Team News 

Milner missed the weekend victory against Burnley due to a muscle problem, but both he and Trent Alexander-Arnold, forced late with muscle tension in the same game, should be available for the national team on Wednesday.

Dejan Lovren also has an outside chance to start, having made the bank for the Burnley game. Even more important, however, Virgil van Dijk is back for Liverpool after missing the first leg through the suspension.

A good performance by Adam Lallana the last time he leaves will make his chances to start this crucial match, without damage. After a flat screen in the first leg, changes are expected in midfield, with Fabinho in line to return to a more advanced position after completing in the center of the back.

Liverpool have no suspensions to contend with, unlike Bayern who do not have Thomas Muller, ejected by a bad tackle from Nicolas Tagliafico of Ajax in the final round of group matches, and right-back Joshua Kimmich.

Rafinha seems to be sure to occupy Kimmich, on the opposite flank of David Alaba, while a decision must be made about who starts at the center of defense after the return of Mats Hummels over the weekend.

Three assists from the bench against Wolfsburg for Franck Ribery can see him take charge of Muller in attack, which in turn would mean a change of flanks for Serge Gnabry.

If Manuel Neuer appears, this will be his 100th match in the Champions League, which makes him the sixth goalkeeper to reach that milestone after Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech, Victor Valdes and Oliver Kahn.
