Liverpool will take on Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday and just three days later they travel to Germany for their Champions League fixture.
With the two-legged tie perfectly poised at 0-0, the Reds travel to the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern Munich in the second leg.
And a lot of people are not giving Jurgen Klopp’s men too much of a chance.
Liverpool have been in exceptional form this season and keeping that in mind there is every possibility that the Bayern vs Liverpool tie should go in favour of the Merseyside outfit.
But pundits feel that the Bundesliga outfit did a tremendous job in shutting down Liverpool in the first leg and now that they get to decide the tie in their own backyard, the odds are stacked in favour of Bayern Munich.
And this is what former Man United manager Jose Mourinho has predicted about the Bayern vs Liverpool tie.
‘I see Bayern, in spite of up and down season, I see them now on the up,’ Jose Mourinho said.
‘With the morale of Borussia Dortmund losing consecutively and them recovering positions even in the Bundesliga. And I see Bayern as a team that can score goals.
‘If I had to choose, I wouldn’t bet on pounds, but if I had to choose I would choose Bayern.’
‘In this moment the eight teams that are going to be qualified – in this moment the four that have already qualified – they have all of them 12.5% chance of winning the Champions League.
‘Certainly, you are in the group of the 25% chance of winning.
‘When you look to PSG, Real Madrid, two big contenders to win it, they are already away. Liverpool, Bayern Munich – one of them will also be out.
‘I think every team including obviously Tottenham – and don’t forget that Porto and Ajax are amongst the eight – big, big chances for a big surprise this season for one team to win it or at least one team to be in the final that nobody expects – so why not Tottenham?’
