Preview: Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern

Following their 4-0 humiliation of Atletico Madrid - no small feat as Diego Simeone's side prides themselves on tough defending - Bayern continued in the same ruthless form as they crushed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 this past weekend. That means that die Roten, who won their second Treble last season, have scored nine goals in just their past two games, and have netted at least four times in five of their matches since the start of this month.

The win over Atleti extends Bayern's impressive winning streak in Europe to 13, and for all intents and puropses, they look certain to make it 14 when they travel to Moscow to face Lokomotiv Moscow. Their hosts come into this match having lost 2-1 to Rotor Volgograd last Saturday, and prior to that, earned one point from their 2-2 draw against Salzburg. The loss over the weekend snapped a four match winning streak in the Russian Premier League for the Railwaymen, and they now find themselves in fourth spot, six behind league leaders Spartak Moscow.

Bayern, meanwhile, sit in second spot in the Bundesliga, but league leaders RB Leipzig are really feeling the pressure as only one point separates the two sides. However, with star striker Robert Lewandowski in top form, it's only a matter of time before they eventually overtake die Bullen in the table.

Team news: Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern

Lokomotiv Moscow: Marko Nikolic has some major concerns ahead of this contest; indeed, he may have to make do without defenders Slobodan Rajkovic and Stanislav Magkeyevas a result of illness, while fellow defender Vladislav Ignatyev is still struggling with an Achilles injury. And to complicate matters, midfielder Dmitri Barinov is definitely out due to a knee injury.

Bayern Munich: Bayern have been dealt a major blow in defense as key defender Alphonso Davies injured his ankle during the 5-0 win over Frankfurt and is now set to miss from six to eight weeks. This now will give club-record signing Lucas Hernandez, who had been battling with the Canadian international for that coveted left-back position, an opportunity to start for the first time in this season's UCL tournament. In addition, Serge Gnabry hasn't yet recovered from COVID-19, so will not make the trip. Leroy Sane made his return last weekend and grabbed a goal off the bench, but may not be rushed back into action for this match. Finally, new defender Tanguy Nianzou is likely to have to wait longer to make his debut as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury
