Is Salzburg vs Bayern Munich on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League fixture

All you need to know ahead of today’s game

MUNDIAL EUROPA (AP)

Red Bull Salzburg host Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday night, a tough task for the Austrian side and one they’ll need their talented young forward Karim Adeyemi to be in-form for

Hopes of a shock progression to the quarters probably rest on getting a positive result at home - and they’ve at least been given a blueprint of sorts how Bayern can be hurt, with Bochum beating the Bundesliga leaders at the weekend.

Julian Nagelsmann will be looking to take his team deep into the competition which they won in 2020, though they suffered a quarter-final exit last season.

Question marks for the Bavarians come in the shape of an injury to their goalkeeper, the news that their centre-back Niklas Sule is leaving for rivals Dortmund in the summer and how the team bounces back from the weekend defeat.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the first leg.
