Bayern Munich vs Inter: Preview, live streaming and lineups

Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the Champions League quarterfinals promises to be a riveting encounter, marked by contrasting styles of play. Bayern, known for their attacking prowess, leads the Bundesliga with an impressive 81 goals this season . However, they face significant challenges due to an extensive injury list that includes key players such as Neuer and Musiala. In contrast, Inter boasts a formidable defense that has conceded only two goals across ten Champions League matches this season . This matchup thus presents a fascinating study of offense versus defense.

Bayern Munich host Inter in the first leg of their last eight tie. Can the Bavarians get a lead to take to Italy? Here's our match prediction.

Bayern are unbeaten at home in this season's Champions League and as you will read in the form section of this preview, that is not surprising. With Harry Kane continuing to be in good scoring form, they will be hopeful of another home victory.

The hosts recently lost Alphonso Davies to an ACL tear, and are also without Aleksandar Pavlovic due to illness. Eric Dier will retain his place in defence due to Dayot Upamecano and Hiroki Ito's absences.

Manuel Neuer are doubts, with the latter unlikely to play on Tuesday. Young Jonas Urbig will deputise for the stalwart goalkeeper if Neuer isn't deemed fit.

Bayern Munich possible starting lineup: Urbig; Laimer, Kim, Dier, Guerreiro; Palhinha, Kimmich; Olise, Muller, Sane; Kane

Inter Milan possible starting lineup: Sommer; Acerbi, Bisseck, Bastoni; Darmian, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez

Live streaming options for the match vary depending on the region; viewers in the United States can access it through Paramount+, Univision, or TUDN, while those in the UK can tune in via TNT Sports . As for predicted lineups, Bayern is expected to field Urbig in goal with a makeshift defense. Experienced players like Thomas Müller and Harry Kane will lead their attack despite injuries affecting team cohesion . This tactical setup will be crucial as both teams vie for supremacy on one of football's grandest stages.

Tuesday's clash promises a compelling tactical battle between Bayern's attacking prowess and Inter's defensive solidity. While absences and injuries could affect both teams' strategies, even without Musiala, a Kane and Olise-inspired Bayern might secure a narrow advantage heading into the second leg.
