Charlie Nicholas states his prediction for Bayern Munich V Chelsea

Bayern Munich are preparing to host Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 second-leg on Saturday, August 8. First-leg between the clubs ended in Bayern's 3-0 win over the Blues before the season was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas has stated his prediction. "This will be comfortable for Bayern, who have Robert Lewandowski leading the line. The Poland striker was the top goalscorer in Europe and given Chelsea's suspect defence, I do not give them much hope. "It is a success story getting into the top four, I do not disagree with that, but you could see their vulnerabilities in the run-in and in the FA Cup final. Frank Lampard wants to play attacking, and on the front foot football, but you have to be assured at the back and they are not. Whether that is a back three or a back four, it does not work, while they also have problems in the wide areas. "Meanwhile, a few Chelsea players know they might be leaving this summer - Olivier Giroud, Willian and Jorginho could all be departing, alongside a few others. For that reason, it does not put you in a good place going into these situations. They will go out and go out tamely and this season is over for Chelsea, with it being a comfortable contest for Bayern." Charlie Nicholas' score prediction: 2-0 source - Sky Sports

Doubtful that Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman will play against Chelsea
