Bayern Munich vs Chelsea prediction: How will Champions League fixture play out tonight?

Chelsea‘s season isn’t quite over yet, as they head to Bayern Munich for their Champions League last-16 second leg.

The first-leg scoreline makes this an uphill battle for Frank Lampard’s team, with Bayern winning that game 3-0.

It’ll almost be a case of getting the game out of the way so the players can begin their summer break, barring an absolute miracle turnaround.

For Bayern, this is essentially a warm-up game ahead of the latter rounds, which take place in Portugal.
