Champions League matches are always important, but this one is especially big. If Bayern can get the win, the ghosts of the BATE performance are exorcised. At that point, we'd be in second place in the group (at worst) with 2 of the remaining 3 matches at home.
If Bayern is lost or held, however, big issues arise - especially against a Lille side that has been struggling with injuries and has failed to defend very well. Line-ups:
For FC Bayern:
Mandzukic
Ribery - Kroos - Mueller
Martinez - Schweinsteiger
Badstuber - Dante - Boateng - Lahm
Neuer
For Lille:
Roux
De Melo - Kalou
Balmont - Pedretti - Martin
Chedjou - Dinge - Sidibe - Beria
Landreau
(or is it De Melo up front, with Roux and Kalou on either side?)
Same back 4 for Bayern, with Alaba (who is on the bench) perhaps to get some minutes later. Payet, Lille's usual target man, is also not starting. Hmm ...
We'll be back later with a recap and highlights. Viva viva FC Bayern!
