Your support makes all the difference.Bayern Munich will need new solutions to get back to winning ways, as they look to pick up a positive result in the Champions League against Red Bull Salzburg.
The German champions were hammered 4-2 at the weekend by Bochum after midfield absentees saw Julian Nagelsmann switch shape - a move which certainly didn’t pay off and left the Bavarians’ lead in the Bundesliga cut back to six points.
They face the Austrian champions who are well clear again at the top of their domestic table this term, on a three-match win streak as they host Robert Lewandowski and Co.
Salzburg have only lost one competitive match on home soil in a full year - that defeat coming three weeks ago against relegation-threatened Admira.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the first leg.

The game kicks off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 16 February at the Red Bull Arena.
