Bayern Munich vs Viktoria Plzen Preview
Viktoria Plzen are at the top of the Czech First League at the moment and have been impressive on the domestic front so far. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Bohemians 1905 last week and will need to be at their best in this fixture.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in third place in the Bundesliga table and are yet to hit their stride so far. The Bavarians eased past Bayer Leverkusen by a 4-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Bayern Munich have an excellent track record in the UEFA Champions League but have stuttered on the domestic front this season. The likes of Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane could be lethal on their day and will need to step up this week.
Viktoria Plzen find themselves in a difficult group and will need a miracle to take something away from this match. Bayern Munich are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
