Dream11 Fantasy Soccer: Bayern Munich v. Chelsea Preview

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

Bayern Munich have a huge advantage heading into this contest against Chelsea, as the Bundesliga champions earned a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge in the first leg, aided by Serge Gnabry's double and a strike from Robert Lewandowski. Things are simple ahead of this matchup: Chelsea must score at least three goals while keeping a clean sheet to have a chance of turning things around. Bayern would probably get the job done if they score a goal given their sizable lead in the aggregate score. By all accounts, Bayern should be treated as favorites ahead of this contest; they are the better side and also have the advantage of playing at home, even with no fans in the seats.

Top Picks

Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich: Lewandowski was the top scorer in the Bundesliga and continues to be one of the best strikers in Europe. The Polish international will lead the attacking line and, considering Chelsea are dealing with several absentees while also having a big sense of urgency, this could translate into lots of spaces for Lewandowski.

Joshua Kimmich, Bayern Munich: Kimmich might start either at right-back or central midfield, but he is a strong play for value regardless of where he lines up. He has a great floor due to his involvement on both sides of the ball, and he could have a field day producing stats defensively and in the attack.
