Key players of the fixture
Harry Kane
The English Talisman and Bayern Prolific will look to make a mark in this fixture after sustaining a minor injury. You can expect goals whenever the German Giants grace the field. Harry Kane who finished last season with more than 40 goals will once again be the key figure in the dressing room, his performance on the pitch as well as his presence in the dressing room will dictate the course of action throughout the game.
Premier League’s second all time top scorer moved to the city of Munich last season to win more trophies and play regular European football. Even after scoring almost half a century of goals last season still he fell short to win a trophy. Harry Kane will be keen to end his trophy drought this season by scoring lot more many goals.
Ollie Watkins
Harry Kane’s teammate and England International Ollie Watkins will be the key figure for Villans in an important European fixture. England’s goal scoring misery sparked a discussion of opting Watkins as the main number 9 for the England. Aston Villa’s star man Ollie Watkins’ attacking prowess was instrumental for Villa’s incredible run last season. Ollie started showing glimpses of his brilliance with Aston Villa and England National Team previous year.
After registering 40 goal contributions in the year 2023-24, Watkins continued where he left off last season. This season he already have 6 goal contributions in the 6 games. Villa’s faithful will be heavily relying on the 28 year old striker to carry out the attack for the entire season. His presence will be key for Emery’s men this season.
Jamal Musiala
Ahead of the Villa clash, Jamal Musiala have been quite vocal about how good they have been in the attack this season. Rightly so FC Bayern Munich under their new head coach Vincent Kompany are off to a very good start by winning all four games by scoring 16 goals in those games. German’s 21 year old midfield engine leads the goal scoring chart who’s only next to English striker Harry Kane.
Musiala has taken the prominent roles ever since he started playing football for both FC Bayern Munich as well as the German National Team. Jamal Musiala was the silver lining of the dark cloud when he outshone the entire team when Germany were very much struggling after 2014 World Cup heroics. All eyes will be on 21-year old German Prowess when he takes the pitch for the German Powerhouse.
Emliano Martinez
The Argentine World Cup winner Emliano Martinez will be a key dominant figure in this fixture. Argentinian who has had couple of stints in England is known for his incredible nic-of-a time saves. His most notable save was the save against France in the final of 2022 FIFA World Cup.
He’s always known for his antics against the opponents. Many a times due to his behavior he has also been warned and fined by FIFA and multiple federations as well. His expressive character on the pitch can cause chaos and dictacte the direction of the game.
Predictions
If FC Bayern Munich plays the game then one thing is guartanteed that is multiple goals and Aston Villa hold the knack of scoring late goals in the games at multiple occassions. The predicition for the game is the scoreline of 4-2.
