🔴 Bayern Munich (Home)

Bayern remain undefeated in their last 22 home UCL matches and continue to dominate at the Allianz Arena. Their 3-1 win over Augsburg last weekend maintained momentum, though several injuries may impact squad depth.

The spotlight is on Kim Min-jae, who is set to start alongside Eric Dier in central defense. Kim has shown impressive form despite recent Achilles and back concerns, with top-level performances such as a 94% pass success rate, crucial interceptions, and aerial dominance in the Augsburg game. German outlets confirm Kim’s smiling return to training, indicating readiness for the big stage.

Leroy Sané remains in top form, and Harry Kane continues to deliver goals. With Jamal Musiala injured, Thomas Müller is expected to take the creative role in midfield, possibly in his final UCL campaign with Bayern.

🔵 Inter Milan (Away)

Inter remain atop Serie A and are dreaming of a second treble under Simone Inzaghi. A 2-2 draw against Parma highlighted some defensive lapses but showcased their attacking strength and team structure.

Marcus Thuram broke his goal drought with a key strike and is expected to partner Lautaro Martinez up front. Denzel Dumfries is ruled out, meaning Matteo Darmian will slot in at right wing-back. Midfield trio Çalhanoğlu, Barella, and Mkhitaryan are expected to start without major changes.

🔍 Key Match Points

This matchup pits Bayern’s pressing and possession tactics against Inter’s knockout stage resilience. Sané and Kane will lead Bayern’s offense, while Müller’s creativity will be vital. Inter will rely on their midfield control and fast transitions. Kim Min-jae’s ability to contain Lautaro and cover for Bayern’s weakened backline will be crucial.

  • Bayern: 22-game UCL home unbeaten run
  • Inter: Strong in cup ties, balanced structure
  • Kim Min-jae vs Lautaro – defensive highlight
  • Müller vs Mkhitaryan – veteran midfield clash

🎯 Score Prediction

Both sides enter with firepower but also concerns, especially in defense. Bayern’s home advantage and attacking quality are countered by Inter’s discipline and tactical balance. With Kim Min-jae anchoring the back, and Inter cautious away from home, a tactical draw seems likely in the first leg.
