Bayern to Come Out on Top in Gelsenkirchen
Shakhtar Donetsk have had a tough Champions League campaign so far, winning just one of their opening five. They are in 26th place in the standings, collecting a mere four points from a possible 15.
On a more positive note, Shakhtar have been in good form lately, winning six of the last nine. Their only defeat during that run was a 3-2 loss at PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League last month.
Bayern Munich have work to do if they want to qualify automatically for the last 16. Kompany’s team find themselves in 13th position in the Champions League table, winning three and losing two of five.
The Bundesliga leaders are in tip-top shape, picking up eight wins from their previous ten league and cup fixtures. The Bavarians will be gunning for all three points in Gelsenkirchen this Tuesday.
