Liverpool eye victory against Bayern Munich at home in 2018/19 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 1st Leg
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool did just enough in the group stages to reach till here although disappointingly finished second to PSG. They will now be hoping to better their 2017/18 season performance where they finished runners-up to Real Madrid.
The Reds know that Bayern are a tough outfit and one of the best teams in Europe, so they will have to plan accordingly. Liverpool will need to play the brand of football that they play with the luck to be on their side as well.
The Reds next play rivals Manchester United away in the Premier League.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich did quite well in the group stages as they topped the group without suffering a defeat. They are definitely looking at the trophy for sure the German club.
For that they will need to play quality football, they have done it in the past and now against Liverpool a spirited performance is needed.
Liverpool have a good record against Bayern Munich and they will look to continue the good work.
