A new edition of the Champions League renews hope for Bayern Munich, which finished last season without trophies in its cabinets, where it will need to rethink its strategy in order to be a protagonist in both the local tournament and the international stage.
In this new version of the UEFA Champions League, the ‘Bavarians’ begin their journey against Dinamo Zagreb, a team that does not appear as a strong contender on paper for the Germans. The match will be played next Tuesday, September 17, at 14:00 Colombian time, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
The last time these two teams faced each other was in 2015, precisely in this competition, and in those matches, Bayern won 5-0 at home and 0-2 away.

The German goal-scoring machine faces Zagreb
The new Bayern Munich, managed by Vincent Kompany, has proven to be a lethal team in attack. The Belgian coach’s team has scored 11 goals in the first 3 Bundesliga matches and has only conceded 3. Furthermore, they have obtained 9 points out of 9, and currently lead German football.
Now, in their Champions League debut, they are expected to win and even score heavily against Dinamo Zagreb, which is one of, if not the weakest of their opponents in this European competition.
The rival, on the other hand, has had a difficult start in the Croatian League. The Dinamo team, which is usually one of the leaders, currently finds itself in third place, coming off two consecutive losses and has not won in three matches, indicating that for this match, the ‘Modri’ team is not arriving in their best shape.

The top scorer is on a streak
Forward Harry Kane is at his best and wants to finally lift a trophy with Bayern Munich this season. The English striker has scored five goals in his last two matches. He netted two goals while wearing the England jersey against Finland and a hat-trick against Kiel in the last match played in the Bundesliga.
For this reason and due to these numbers, it is expected that at least the ‘9’ of Bayern Munich will make more than 1.5 shots on goal against Dinamo Zagreb. Additionally, we can argue that matches involving Bayern are usually filled with goals, which also suggests that the striker could be one of the scorers of the match, as Bayern’s average goals per game is over four goals.
