Match context and betting odds
Bayern are heavy favorites. DraftKings lists Bayern around -280 to win the tie. The large first-leg advantage makes Bayern the clear contender to advance.
Goalkeeper situation at Bayern
Bayern face a goalkeeper crisis ahead of the return leg. First-choice Manuel Neuer is sidelined with a calf muscle tear.
Backup Sven Ulreich suffered a right adductor tear in Bayern’s 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen. He will be out for the near term. Jonas Urbig sustained a concussion after a collision late in the first-leg game.
Teen prospect as potential starter
That leaves 16-year-old Leonard Prescott as a possible starter in Munich. Prescott was born in New York and joined Bayern’s academy in 2023 after time at Union Berlin.
He keeps goal for Bayern’s under-19s and has represented Germany at under-17 level. Prescott was on the bench during the 6-1 first leg and was also the backup against Leverkusen.
Other goalkeeper options
Reserve goalkeeper Leon Klanac has been out since December with an injury. Daniel Peretz remains on loan at Southampton and is unavailable.
Nineteen-year-old Jannis Bärtl has filled in for reserve matches. He has been named on Bundesliga benches this season and could provide another option.
