Bayern Munich look to bounce back from their Champions League loss at Arsenal. They are third in the league phase and on Tuesday are home to eighth-placed Sporting Lisbon. Read our match prediction below.
The German Bundesliga leaders had won all of their matches in this league phase before being beaten at the Emirates. Bayern are now three points off the top of the table but only two above ninth place. A top eight finish will see them go automatically into the last 16. After this game against Sporting, they have another home game against Union Saint-Gllloise before a final fixture away at PSV.
Sporting are in the final automatic qualifying position but only on goal difference. This trip to Bayern will be followed by a home game against defending champions PSG and a trip to Athletic Bilbao. Staying in the top eight looks to be a very difficult task for the Portuguese club.

Bayern Munich & Sporting Lisbon Squad Analysis
Bayern Munich had won their first four games in this league phase before being beaten at Arsenal. The German Bundesliga leaders still have work to do to ensure they go straight into the last 16.
A top eight finish is needed and Bayern are only two points above ninth place. They now have two home games and will be fully expecting to earn six points from those couple of fixtures against Sporting and USG.
They will be missing a few players for this game with Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies both injured. Dayot Upamecano is doubtful and definitely absent will be Luis Diaz who is suspended for this game.
Bayern will be looking for yet more goals from Harry Kane who scoring a hat-trick at the weekend.
Sporting have a difficult run-in.
Sporting are only just in the automatic qualifying positions but will do well to avoid the play-offs. After this game in Munich, they travel to PSG and two losses are likely. Not helping them is the fact Fotis Ionnidis will miss this match,
Doubtful for Sporting are Daniel Bragana and Zeno Debast.
