Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Bayern Munich will look to keep their 100% record in Group E intact when they take on Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League group stages round 5. The Bavarians are seen as one of the main favourites to win the elite competition, and they are surely capable of beating the rock-bottom Ukrainians. The likes of Kimmich, Stanisic, and Sule remain quarantined, while Kingsley Coman is a major doubt. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Robert Lewandowski, who is enjoying yet another successful season.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, rolled over Chornomorets Odesa 6-1 at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Bayern Munchen. Dynamo Kiev are on a three-game losing run in Group E, and seeing that they have yet to find the net in the process, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise. Both Besedin and Popov should miss out with injuries for the hosts.

The Stern des Sudens (Star of the South) are the dominant force in German football and it has to be noted that the Bavarians clinched their 26th Bundesliga title in 2016. Bayern Munich have won 18 German Cup trophies, while winning the Champions League (European Cup) five times.

Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by eleven football players and their leader was Franz John. The Bavarians host their rivals at Allianz Arena (75,000), the stadium that was built in 2005.
Fellow Bavarian sides TSV 1860 Munchen 1860 and Nurnberg are regarded as Bayern Munich’s fiercest rivals, but the rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern is big as well.
