Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Prediction
Lokomotiv Moscow have a big date on Match Day 2 of the UEFA Champions League; they host holders Bayern Munich in Moscow on Tuesday. The two sides had mixed results in the opening round of matches in Group A. While Bayern had a stroll, whacking Atletico Madrid 4-0, Lokomotiv labored in Austria to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Salzburg. It was not any better for Lokomotiv on Saturday as they suffered a 2-1 loss at home to Rotor Volgograd in the Russian league. Going to a match against Bayern on a two – match winless run will definitely affect Lokomotiv in terms of confidence. But it will be even worse for the hosts when they look at their record in the Champions League. Last season they were the whipping boys in Group D, finishing bottom in a pool that had Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Beyer Leverkusen. They go to this game with five losses in the last six Champions League matches, and have conceded twice in each of the six. With just one clean sheet in their last 15 Champions League matches, they will struggle to contain this Bayern Munich side. Against Salzburg in their opening game, Lokomotiv did well to take the lead, but could not defend well and were trailing in the 50th minute, only to pull one back late on for a 2-2 draw.
On their part, Bayern will be looking to extend their good run in the Champions League with a win here. They are the side with the best form in the competition so far and going by their standards this season, this should be an easy task. The Germans have six straight wins ahead of this game, and in the six, they have scored three goals or more. They have three clean sheets in their last four matches and having scored 20 goals in the last five matches, they are tipped for another big win here. Last season, Bayern Munich won each of their matches on the way to lifting the Champions League title and they seem charged for a repeat of the feat. The comfort they enjoy in attack is amazing; they hit four goals against Atletico Madrid and the red-hot Robert Lewandowski was not even among the scorers, while Serge Gnabry was not in the team. Corentin Tolisso, who scored in the Atletico game, was suspended for their weekend Bundesliga game and will be well rested for the Tuesday game, which spells more trouble for the Russians. Meanwhile, Lewandowski returned to scoring ways on Saturday, with a hat trick against Eintracht Frankfurt as Bayern registered yet another big win and clean sheet. Their win over Atletico was the 12th straight in the Champions League and marked the seventh time in eight matches that they have scored at least three goals.

Our Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Lokomotiv Moscow took the lead in their game against Salzburg then managed to claw back from a losing position to earn a point. They will struggle to even have such comforts against this Bayern Munich side. The hosts cannot afford any other strategy but a defensive one here, and we can predict they will set out to defend. However, it will still be tough to keep out this Bayern side that has scored 20 in their last five matches and three or more in seven of their last eight UCL games. Lokomotiv’s defence has been porous in recent times and they will approach this game hoping for a clean sheet but their defensive tactics will only keep the scores low here. A 3-0 win for Bayern Munich is a possibility in this.
