Champions League

2012-02-22 - FC Basel vs FC Bayern Munchen

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :


Bayern Munich travels to Switzerland looking to correct a slump in their away form when they visit Basel in the UEFA Champions League last 16 tonight.

Bayern Munich are yet to win on their travels in the domestic league this year, with Freiburg holding them to a goalless draw at the weekend. That result saw Bayern fall four points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top of the German league, making the importance of tonight's match as they look to avid going tropyless.

Coach Jupp Heynckes insists the four-time winners are taking nothing for granted, and are not under-estimating Basel. Heynckes was quoted as saying that Basel have put together a well-organised side with a good mixture of experienced players, some of whom have played in the Bundesliga, and talented young players who have a big career ahead of them.

One of those players is Xherdan Shaqiri, who has already agreed to join Bayern from Basel in the summer, but the Switzerland international says he has no point to prove in this fixturre.

Meanwhile, Basel coach Heiko Vogel insists his side are not focusing on Bayern's recent league results. He added that this is the Champions League and Basel are theree on their own strengths not what happened against and not what happened against Freiburg, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern.


Team News :


Basel Team News :
Basel coach Vogel is without midfielder Scott Chipperfield and Philipp Degen, who both have thigh strains.

Bayern Munich Team News :
They are without Bastian Schweinsteiger, who will also be out for tonight's clash. David Alaba should take his place again, but Austria's player of the year still lacks the same experience Schweinsteiger has.

Predictions


Go for Basel to make use of their home ground advantage and give problems to Bayern Munich.

Accept the 1 ball handicap as Bayern is unlikely to win in this match due to their travel syndrome once again.
