Preview: Bayern Munich vs Atalanta Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Round of 16 second leg

The Bavarians dominated the proceedings in 1st leg against La Dea.

Bayern Munich will now be looking to have a face-off against Atalanta BC for their second leg round of 16 fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. The Allianz Arena will witness this entertaining battle.

The Bavarians will be at home and it is going to be another advantage for them going into their upcoming contest. The Vincent Kompany-led side completely outplayed La Dea in the previous leg and will be eager to do it yet again. Bayern Munich have been on a top run of form and are going to be confident for their next one.

Atalanta BC will be under pressure here. They will be away from home and are down by five goals. La Dea is surely capable of making a comeback, but it is going to be a near-impossible challenge for them. They will be looking to attack from the beginning. The Serie A side must also maintain calm and composure.

Players to Watch

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)

Michael Olise has been performing well for Bayern Munich and is going to play a crucial part in the attacking front once again. He scored two goals and had an assist in the previous leg against La Dea. The Frenchman will lead the attack from the right and will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence with the ball at his feet.

Nikola Krstovic (Atalanta)

He is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser against Inter Milan in Serie A. Even though he has not been in top form, the 25-year-old is going to be an important aspect of the squad.
