Due to the war in Ukraine, Shakhtar is hosting its home Champions League matches in Gelsenkirchen. Bayern Munich has not won away in their last 5 Champions League matches. This will be the third match in history between the two teams. In the 2014/15 Champions League Round of 16, Bayern drew 0-0 away against Shakhtar and then demolished them 7-0 at home.

Shakhtar 

Shakhtar is having its weakest season in recent years. Marino Pusic’s team is facing problems not only in the Champions League but also in the Ukrainian Premier League, where they are unexpectedly in third place, 4 points behind Alexandria and Dynamo Kyiv.

In their previous match, Shakhtar, playing a nominally home game, easily defeated Vorskla 3-1, but before that, they let a win slip away in the final moments against Lviv club Rukh, drawing 1-1.

In the Champions League, the Ukrainian team started with a 0-0 draw against Bologna, followed by losses to Atalanta (0-3) and Arsenal (0-1). However, in the 4th round, Shakhtar managed to beat Young Boys 2-1. In their last game, Shakhtar led 2-0 against PSV but conceded three goals in the final minutes.

Bayern

Bayern Munich is leading the Bundesliga with great confidence, and it doesn’t seem like anyone will stop Vincent Kompany’s team this season. After 13 rounds, Bayern has 33 points, with a 6-point lead over second place. However, they were eliminated from the DFB-Pokal in the Round of 16, losing 0-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen. 

In their previous Bundesliga match, Bayern easily defeated Heidenheim 4-2 at home, and earlier, they drew 1-1 with Borussia Dortmund.

In the Champions League, Bayern started with an incredible 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb, but after that, they suffered two defeats against Aston Villa (0-1) and Barcelona (1-4). However, Bayern bounced back with two 1-0 victories over Benfica and PSG.
