Form

Champions League Form: 4 Wins 1 Losses 0 Draw
Domestic Form: 5 Wins 0 Losses 0 Draws
Bayern will be confident coming into this match that they will progress into the Quarter Finals and with good reason. They have won their last 19 games in all competition in regulation and on top of that they have gone undefeated in their last 25. Without a doubt they have a side with more talent and experience in comparison to the rising Besiktas. Although Bayern did come off a 2-1 win against Wolfsburgh on Sunday it was hard earned and this may add some fatigue to the side. The Bavarian will only be missing goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Although many favour Munich to take this game with ease the competition that they face is anything but easy. Stastically speaking they have scored in all of their games during the group stage and went undefeated in a group where many predicted for them to finish 3rd or 4th. Look for the underdogs to keep a tight contest against German giants Bayern Munich.
