Champions League 2019: Wednesday Live Stream, Odds for Round-of-16 Fixtures

Tom SunderlandMar 12, 2019

Liverpool travel to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday hoping to offer Bayern Munich more of an attacking threat in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 meeting than they did in the first.

Neither team could find the back of the net at Anfield on February 19, but Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping his side can score at least one goal in Bavaria to advance ahead of Die Roten.

Barcelona and Lyon also ran to a goalless draw at Parc Olympique Lyonnais last month, but the Camp Nou hosts are major favourites to win at the Camp Nou and reach the quarter-finals.

Ernesto Valverde's side are hoping to make it to the last eight for the 12th season in succession, while Lyon last made it to the round of 16 in 2009—when they were beaten by Barcelona.

Liverpool Out to Sink Resurgent Bayern in Bavaria

Bayern's stalemate at Anfield last month was one in a series of recent games that indicated Niko Kovac's are back on track at the Allianz Arena, a daunting thought for an out-of-sorts Liverpool side.

Despite going unbeaten in their last 10 games, the Merseysiders have won just three of their last eight. The result against Bayern was one of three 0-0 draws during that eight-match run, in which Mohamed Salah has scored only once.

Sadio Mane has picked up the slack with four goals in his last three games, but Liverpool will need all three of their attacking gems to piece it together if they're to pierce Manuel Neuer's goal this time around:

That being said, Salah has suggested his preference will be to prioritise the Premier League title this season, with the Reds currently trailing leaders Manchester City by one point, per Goal:

Rafinha will step in for suspended Joshua Kimmich at right-back for Bayern, per Bundesliga.com, while Thomas Muller is ineligible. Corentin Tolisso is out with a knee injury, and winger Kingsley Coman is a doubt.

Former Borussia Dortmund boss Klopp has faced Die Roten 30 times, per Transfermarkt, at least six times more than any other club in his career.

Bayern have looked impressive of late, going unbeaten in their last seven games and netting 11 times in their last two outings.

Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez remain injury absences for Liverpool at centre-back, and Virgil van Dijk isn't expecting an easy test at the Allianz, per ITV:

Klopp's forward line has been caged by both Manchester United and Everton since their home draw with Bayern, but he'll hope Sunday's 4-2 win over Burnley helps light a fire under the Reds on Wednesday.

Barcelona Seek to Shatter Lyon's Pride

Lyon have gone unbeaten away from home in the Champions League this season, but preventing Barcelona from claiming a spot in the quarter-finals will be a major test for many among their squad.

A 0-0 result in France was far from ideal for Valverde's side, but the Blaugrana tend to exude a sense of authority at this stage of the tournament, particularly when finishing a fixture at the Camp Nou.

In March 2009, Barcelona decided a near-identical round-of-16 clash with Lyon in Catalonia, following up a 1-1 draw in France with a 5-2 thrashing at home, in which Lionel Messi shone, via BT Sport (UK only):

The Argentinian has five goals in his last four games and has failed to score just twice in his previous 13 appearances.

Ousmane Dembele is the only fresh doubt for Valverde, per Tom Doyle of the Evening Standard.

Left-back Jordi Alba has been in spectacular form this season and will also be in the mood to contribute after signing a new five-and-a-half-year deal with Barca, via La Liga:

Lyon centre-back Marcelo is a doubt after he was injured in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Strasbourg, although manager Bruno Genesio will be glad to have star attacker Nabil Fekir back after serving a suspension.

The French visitors can't be ruled out considering they have scored 10 times in three matches since going goalless against Barcelona and AS Monaco, but the La Liga side have a winning mentality at this level that is unlikely to be stopped.
