Preview of the Bayern vs Man City match in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on April 20th.
Despite having the home advantage, Bayern Munich are likely to suffer a humiliating defeat against Man City. The leading German team is directionless, having won only 2 out of their last 6 matches.
Man City is now like a team from another planet. They deserve the title of "invincibles," having won all 10 of their last matches, including the last 6, in which they scored at least 3 goals in each. Bayern may have understood just how terrifying Man City is after their 0-3 defeat at the Etihad in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Manager Pep Guardiola has done an excellent job of picking the right moment to peak his team's form. Most of Man City's players have been in excellent form lately, especially their attacking lineup, which is in "destructive" mode with striker Erling Haaland regularly scoring goals, supported by his highly effective teammates such as Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is experiencing a decline in form, having won only 2 of their last 6 matches. The unstoppable slump of the Bavarians stems partly from the sudden decision by the club's management to dismiss coach Julian Nagelsmann and replace him with coach Thomas Tuchel. Bayern Munich's new coach is still in the early stages of finding his way at Allianz and has yet to make any significant impact.
There is more reason to put trust in Man City when looking at recent head-to-head records between the two teams. In the last three meetings, the Manchester side has dominated with all three victories against Bayern, including a 3-0 rout of the Bavarians in the Champions League quarter-final first leg a week ago.
Bayern Munich continues to miss goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and defender Lucas Hernandez due to injuries in the second leg of the quarter-final. The chances of striker Eric Choupo-Moting recovering in time are also very low. Meanwhile, star forward Sadio Mane is almost certainly absent due to disciplinary action following the incident of a "tug-of-war" with teammate Leroy Sane.
Bayern Munich needs to attack Man City in the hope of overturning the 0-3 deficit from the first leg at Etihad. However, with their struggling attack, they are unlikely to create any miracles. Especially in the context of Man City's high morale, with most of their key players in top form. According to the latest information, the away team has only one absentee, midfielder Phil Foden.
