Man Utd vs Bayern Munich UEFA champion league preview, 03:00 on 13 December 2023

Despite playing at home, Man Utd do not possess any advantage before hosting Bayern Munich in the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Man Utd are in an extremely difficult situation, their only goal is to win against Bayern and hope for a draw in the other match. This is considered the best scenario that redshirt fans can think of. But the reality is always grim, with poor form and performances, it is difficult for Man Utd to create seismic in the last match of the C1 group stage. Join us to give our opinion, evaluation as well as information about the match taking place on 13/12.

The situation of the two teams

The strength of Germany's representatives to be evident through a 5-match unbeaten streak with 4 wins and 1 draw, they own 13 points, 8 points ahead of the lower group. The Grey Lobsters were the first team to qualify for the knockout stages, while the other ticket became a contest between Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Man Utd.

The Red Devils are the weakest team that both loses in stats and loses points compared to the other 2 names. The only chance for the Reds to go ahead is to win against Bayern and wait for the result from the other game. But looking at the actual situation, Man Utd are extremely unstable in all aspects, they are both weak and not mentally strong enough for important performances.

If they had won against Galatasaray, Man Utd would not have been pushed into the same position as they are now. But the Red Devils didn't do well defensively, they lacked the spirit of a big team so letting Copenhagen turn over and draw Galatasaray was inevitable.

The reception of Bayern here brings no small hope to Man Utd because the opponent has run out of motivation. Man Utd's chances of winning are opening up in front of Ten Hag's men but it remains to be seen how the hosts play. If you repeat the same scenario as the previous 2 games, perhaps Ten Hag's chair is unlikely to hold.

Man Utd vs Bayern Munich UEFA champion league, 03:00 December 13, 2023

Two-team performance

The contrast is shown through the last 5 matches, Man Utd won 2, drew 1 and lost 2. The loss to Newcastle showed the weakness of Ten Hag's ability to allocate personnel, throughout the first half, the Red Devils shot 2 while their opponents launched 12 shots. After all, the Chiefs' victory was well deserved because they were outstanding, possessed more chances and were more determined than their opponents.

On the other side of the line, Bayern are yet to lose on domestic and international stages, and the Grey Lobsters' unbeaten run is being extended by a 0-0 draw against Copenhagen. Anyway, the goal of the redshirt team is not to win to ensure the fitness of the pillars after the recent FIFA gathering.

Confrontation history

The first leg match saw 7 goals scored and an impressive score chase. Man Utd almost equalised 4-4 but that match saw a display of determination by the English representative. This time, returning home to cheers from the crowd, surely the Red Devils want to hold on to their slim hopes of winning 3 points against Bayern.
