Date: 17/09/25
Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Bayern Munich welcome Chelsea to the Allianz Arena, and you just know this one’s going to be tasty. Bayern at home are usually ruthless, while Chelsea come in knowing this might be their toughest away trip of the campaign.

History adds spice too – remember when Chelsea shocked Bayern in the 2012 final in Munich? Yeah, Bayern fans haven’t forgotten. Since then, though, it’s mostly been Bayern on top in this fixture.

Let’s see how it’s shaping up this time…

Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Team News

Bayern

Bayern have injury worries at the back and on the flanks. Jamal Musiala, Hiroki Ito, and Alphonso Davies are out, which means a reshuffle in midfield and defense. But going forward, they look frightening. Harry Kane leads the line, with Luis Diaz and Michael Olise buzzing around him.

Here’s a curveball: Nicolas Jackson, technically a Chelsea player on loan at Bayern, is allowed to play. Can you imagine if he bags one against his parent club? That would be some story.

Chelsea

Chelsea are short on numbers too. Liam Delap, Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, and Romeo Lavia are sidelined. That forces them to rely on Pedro up front, with Cole Palmer likely floating in behind to pull the strings.

Chelsea have the talent to hurt teams, but away at Bayern with those absences? It’s a big ask.

Likely Lineups

Bayern Munich: Neuer; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Müller, Diaz; Kane

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Chilwell; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Pedro

Bayern vs Chelsea Betting Tips

Here’s what I think… Bayern at home are a different animal. They’ve gone unbeaten in 16 of their last 17 Champions League games in Munich, and they’ve won 13 of those. Chelsea, meanwhile, have just two wins in their last six away matches in the competition.

But both defences look shaky. Bayern have seen both teams score in three of their last four home UCL matches, and Chelsea’s attack – even without a classic No.9 – can still create problems.

Betting Angles Worth a Look:

• Bayern to win & over 2.5 goals
• Harry Kane to score anytime
• Both teams to score – yes

Bayern vs Chelsea Match Prediction

Bayern will dominate possession, pile on the pressure, and look to Kane to finish the job. Chelsea can counter through Palmer and Mudryk, but sustaining pressure in Munich? That’s another story.

Match Prediction: Bayern to win. Bet with bet365.

Bayern Correct Score Prediction

I’m leaning toward 3-1 Bayern. Enough firepower for the Germans to rack up goals, but Chelsea should have one big moment.

Correct Score Prediction: Bayern 3-1 Chelsea. Bet with bet365.

Bayern Over & Under Goals Prediction

The numbers scream goals. Bayern scored at least three in each of their last three matches before the international break. Chelsea aren’t exactly watertight either. Over 2.5 feels safe, but over 3.5 looks like the value play.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Bayern Bet Builder Tip

Here’s a Bayern vs Chelsea Bet Builder that makes sense:

That’s your big-game combo, and it fits how I see the night playing out.

Bet Builder Tip: Bayern to Win, BTTS Yes, Harry Kane Anytime Scorer & Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Key Stats
