Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League wasn’t great for Bayern Munich but they have a chance to redeem themselves against Slovan Bratislava. Hosting this game at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich will be looking to return to winning ways in the competition. They arrive for this match placed 15th, and taking on a side 20 places below them. Read on for our preview and two predictions for this match.
In this game, Bayern Munich will be putting their perfect home record on the line though they are confirmed for at least the knockout play-off round. With 12 points, Bayern still have an outside shot at direct qualification for the round of 16, afforded to those teams that finish in the top eight. A win, likely by a large margin, is a must. They’ll then have to hope that seven different teams don’t overtake them.
Slovan Bratislava, on their part, have had a torrid campaign in Europe. They are one of the two teams yet to win a game in the Champions League this season. Slovan Bratislava have actually not won a point in the tournament. Can they finally do it at such a tough venue?

Bayern Munich - SK Slovan Bratislava: Form Analysis
Bayern Munich are coming off a 2-1 away win against Freiburg in the Bundesliga. With that win, they recovered from their humiliating 3-0 loss to Feyenoord in the Netherlands in the last round of the Champions League.
The Bavarians, courtesy of that Feyenoord loss, enter this round outside the top eight slots. It is a congested race but Bayern should at the least, secure a play-off place as a seeded team.
As they go for a win here, the Germans will expect results elsewhere to work in their favor.
Bayern Munich have met Slovakian clubs four times and they are unbeaten.
Slovan Bratislava only have their pride to play for here. The visitors come into this round having already been eliminated from the competition.
The Slovaks lost to one German side in the last round - Stuttgart. Now, they will be keen not to fall to another German team. Their relative inexperience at this level is, however, their biggest Achilles' heel.
Slovan are only playing in the Champions League proper for the first time. The only thing keeping them from bottom of the table is a slight goal difference.

Bayern Munich & SK Slovan Bratislava Squad Analysis
Harry Kane will once again be the man in focus here as he continues with his prolific scoring form. The Englishman has 23 goals in 25 matches for his club and has scored three times in the last five matches.
Kane will once again benefit from the exciting Jamal Musiala. The German youngster has seven goal contributions across 12 home Champions League matches in the league/group phase in his career.
The Bavarians will, however, be forced to do without Leon Goretzka who picked up a thigh injury on the weekend.
Alphonso Davies may sit out this game as well.
For the visitors, who are only playing their second match of 2025, David Strelec will be the man in focus. He scored in two of Slovan’s last three games.
The Slovakians will welcome back Matus Vojtko after a month out with a shin injury. However, they will be without Juraj Kucka who is recovering from a knee injury. Reports indicate he will be out for two months.
The team’s skipper Vladimir Weiss missed the last game against Stuttgart as he was feeling unwell.

Our Bayern Munich vs SK Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Bayern Munich will be massive favorites here. The Bavarians have four wins in their last five matches but come into this game without a clean sheet in the last three matches. One of those was a heavy loss in the Champions League in their latest outing.
We do not expect the same at home but Bayern haven't been at their best defensively. Facing a side with nothing to lose could translate to a frustrating game for the hosts. Based on that we could see many goals. Our prediction for Bayern Munich v Slovan Bratislava is for Bayern Munich to win and over 2.5 goals.
Bayern Munich vs SK Slovan Bratislava Alternative Predictions
Both teams to score
These two sides have healthy records in attack and the same should be on display here. However, there’s a sense of struggle in defence and this could point us to both teams getting at least a goal in this game. Our second prediction for the match will be: Both teams to score.
