Meanwhile, Villarreal will be hoping to build on their performance from the first leg and pull off an upset at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich have done well against Villarreal in the past having won two of their three meetings against the Spanish outfit.
Furthermore, they are coming into this game on the back of four wins from the last six matches across all competitions.
The home side are undoubtedly the favourites here because of the quality in their squad but they will have to stay focused in order to get a good result here.
Villarreal have shown that they have what it takes to pull off a surprise result and Bayern Munich cannot afford to underestimate their opposition.
🗣 “We are really glad that we have only lost there one – zero.”
