A repeat of the 2012 Champions League final, Chelsea are back in the competition after four years away. Bayern have reached the quarter-finals in each of the past six seasons. This game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bayern-munich-to-win-and-btts-2-1-with-bet365\">Bayern Munich to win and BTTS (<a href=\"https:\/\/squawka.com\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2\/1 with bet365<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayern Munich have won all four of their games across all competitions this season. But they have only kept one clean sheet. The Bavarians have turned the Allianz Arena into a fortress in Europe, averaging nearly three goals per game at home in the competition last season. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain inconsistent as shown with their draw with Brentford last weekend. With Bayern\u2019s frontline firing and Chelsea\u2019s attack still capable of nicking a goal, this looks set up for a high-scoring home victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-harry-kane-to-be-carded-11-2-with-paddy-power\">Harry Kane to be carded (<a href=\"https:\/\/squawka.com\/en\/go\/paddy-power?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11\/2 with Paddy Power<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harry Kane played in some memorable games against Chelsea when playing in the Premier League and he looks worth a punt at 11\/2 to find his way into the referee&#8217;s notebook on Wednesday. Kane has been booked against Chelsea more than any other club in his career, picking up five yellows in total. A team he relishes playing against, and one that seems to add a bit of extra fire to his belly, back Kane to be carded in this Champions League clash. <\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1386612\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1386613\"\n    >\n\t\t            <span class=\"sq-toplist__label\">Squawka recommends <\/span>\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-inc-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#7c44fd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Dabble Logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble-40x13.png 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-inc-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">Dabble<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-inc-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a310, GET \u00a310 IN FREE BETS<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-inc-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a310, GET \u00a310 IN FREE BETS<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-inc-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Here<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">10<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fantastic Promotions<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fun Social Media Content<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">New Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>#AD 18+ New customers only.

id=\"h-how-both-teams-go-into-bayern-munich-vs-chelsea\">How both teams go into Bayern Munich vs Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, Bayern Munich have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in each of the past six seasons. The first in that run saw Bayern go all the way to lift the trophy in 2019-20. And they beat Chelsea en route. Since then it has been four quarter-final exits and one semi-final run. Last season saw Bayern beaten by eventual runners-up Inter Milan in the quarter-finals, so they&#8217;ll be looking to do better this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea have missed the past two seasons of the Champions League, and one of those campaigns also saw them sit out of Europe altogether. But they did taste success in the Uefa Conference League last season. When Chelsea were last in the Champions League they reached the quarter-finals, knocked out by Real Madrid. It was the second of two successive quarter-final exits to Real Madrid, after winning the trophy in 2020-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bayern-munich-team-news\">Bayern Munich team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamal Musiala remains sidelined alongside defenders Hiroki Ito (leg) and Alphonso Davies (knee), while Vincent Kompany\u2019s issues at left-back have deepened after Raphael Guerreiro sustained a rib injury shortly after coming on against Hamburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In attack, Nicolas Jackson is available to face his parent club but is expected to make way for Harry Kane, with Luis D\u00edaz set to continue on the left after matching a Bayern record by scoring in each of his first three Bundesliga outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-team-news\">Chelsea team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visitors remain without Liam Delap (hamstring), Beno\u00eet Badiashile and Romeo Lavia (both unspecified), Dario Essugo (thigh) and the suspended Mykhailo Mudryk. Estev\u00e3o Willian faces a late fitness check after illness, while Facundo Buonanotte has been omitted from Enzo Maresca\u2019s league phase squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were also worries over Joao Pedro, who requested to sit out at the weekend due to not being fully fit. Even so, the Brazilian has already produced five Premier League goal contributions in just four matches \u2014 a feat only bettered by Eden Hazard, who reached the tally quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bayern-munich-vs-chelsea-head-to-head\">Bayern Munich vs Chelsea head-to-head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayern Have won three of their six meetings with Chelsea across all competitions, as well as one penalty-shootout victory.
