Bayern Munich vs Red Star Belgrade
Champions League 2019/20 season
Venue: Allianz Arena
Date: Wednesday 18th September, 2019
Kick-off time: 8pm BST
Bayern Munich kick off their Champions League campaign with a home tie against Red Star on Wednesday night.
Niko Kovac says his side are targeting at least the quarter-finals this term after coming up short in previous years.
Bayern last won this competition back in 2013 at Wembley, and while they are not the force they once were, the Bavarians are still packed full of talent.
Prediction: Bayern 3-0 Red Star
Given that Red Star are 100/1 to win 1-0 in Munich, don't expect anything other than a dominant home win - and one or two goals from Robert Lewandowski.
