Tottenham Hotspur will host Bayern Munich on matchday two of the UEFA Champions League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Mauricio Pochettino and his side have endured a horrid time in the past few games despite a 2-1 victory over Southampton in Premier League last Saturday.
Spurs ‘bottled’ a two goal lead as they settled for a 2-2 draw at Olympiacos in their Champions League opener. Speaking on recent results at his press conference, Poch said, “It’s normal to talk when you don’t get the results everyone expects. In football, you must be motivated. I am so happy with the squad and we’re in a position where all is possible.”
Bayern also approach this game off the back of an unconvincing 3-2 win over Paderborn in Bundesliga.
Since losing the German Super Cup, the Bavarians are now unbeaten in their last eight games, with goals never a problem.
Kovac’s side secured all three points in their Group B Champions League opener as they defeated Red Star Belgrade 3-0 at home.
