Bayern Munich will invite Slovan Bratislava to Allianz Arena in their final league phase match of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Bayern are assured of a place in the knockout round playoffs while the visitors have been eliminated from the competition, having lost all seven games thus far.
The hosts suffered a 3-0 loss to Feyenoord in the Champions League last week and returned to winning ways with a 2-1 away triumph over Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Harry Kane scored in the first half and Kim Min-Jae headed in the second goal after the break.
Bratislava will play a German team for the second consecutive week, having met Stuttgart in the Champions League last week. They suffered a 3-1 home loss, with Idjessi Metsoko scoring the consolation goal in the 85th minute. As they have been eliminated from the competition already, they will look to put up a good fight here and will aim to pick up their first point of the campaign.

Daniel Peretz, Hiroki Ito, and Alphonso Davies are nursing injuries and won't play any part here. Sven Ulreich was red-carded last week and will serve a suspension. Leon Goretzka is also suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Sky Blues have been in poor touch recently, suffering three losses in their last four games in all competitions. They are winless in their last three away games, scoring one goal apiece, and will look to improve upon that record.
Danylo Ihnatenko and Juraj Kucka won't travel with the squad to Munich due to injuries. Tigran Barseghyan provided an assist after coming off the bench last week and is likely to get the nod to start here.
Bayern have a good goalscoring record in the Champions League and should make the most of their home advantage to register a comfortable win.
