Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg: UCL RO16, Second Leg Preview, Details, Team News and Dream11 Team Predictions

Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg is the upcoming second leg fixture in this year's Champions League round of 16. German champions Bayern Munich welcome Red Bull Salzburg to the Allianz Arena in Munich. The matchup looked to favour the Bundesliga giants, but Salzburg put up a real show in the first leg as both sides drew 1-1 in Austria. Given that there are no away goals this season in European competitions, Bayern's late equaliser will not hand them an added advantage ahead of the return leg.

Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg: Match Preview:

Die Roten were far from their best in the return leg, and the Austrian giants took advantage of it by taking the lead through Chukwubuike Adamu in the 21st minute. Kingsley Coman came off the bench to draw the Germans' level, but it did little to mask their ineffectiveness on the night.

With the game now poised on a knife's edge, Bayern will be counting on home support apart from their superior quality to take them to the last eight of the competition. Nothing short of a win will do on the night, and Die Roten will need to be at their best if they are serious about winning a seventh European crown.

Salzburg covered themselves in glory in t e first leg. However, with all due respect to the Austrians, there are far tougher challenges awaiting Bayern in the tournament, and they can not afford to get held up in the last 16. Whether Julian Nagelsman's side can make their quality count or Salzburg pull off a stunning upset remains to be seen. Hence, the second leg match in round of 16, Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg is shaping up to be an exciting context with high stakes on the line.

Team News:

Bayern Munich:

Bayern will again be missing Corentin Tolisso, Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies and Leon Goretzka on Tuesday evening through injury. The Bundesliga champions are otherwise in good shape, with Thomas Muller returning from illness on Saturday, and the German is expected to feature in an attacking spot for the home team.

Serge Gnabry and Coman played as advanced wing-backs in the first leg with Salzburg and that is again expected to be the case in this match, with Leroy Sane and Muller operating behind Robert Lewandowski. Meanwhile, Tolisso's absence will open the door for Jamal Musiala to feature in central midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich.

RB Salzburg:

As for Salzburg, a lengthy injury list includes Albert Vallci , Sekou Koita, Ousmane Diakite, Bryan Okoh, Benjamin Sesko, Jerome Onguene, Noah Okafor and Oumar Solet.

Okafor and Solet both started the first leg in Austria, but the former has recently been absent due to a hamstring problem, while the latter is unlikely to be available due to a muscular problem.

Adamu could feature alongside Karim Adeyemi in the final third of the field, while Solet's expected absence at the back should open the door for Kamil Piatkowski to start.
