Atalanta fought back from a 2-0 first leg deficit to overcome Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League play-off round and they now face another Bundesliga heavyweight in the last 16 after being drawn against Bayern Munich.

Bayern finished in second place in the league phase with 21 points, losing to Arsenal in round five in what proved to be the game that decided top spot.

The German giants come into this game in fine form as they are on a six-game winning streak, while La Dea are winless in three since their incredible 4-1 victory over BVB last month.

Team news

Atalanta coach Raffaele Palladino will be without the suspended Giorgio Scalvini and injured playmaker Charles De Ketelaere.

Giacomo Raspadori has just resumed training following a hamstring injury, but Tuesday's game is likely to come too soon.

Bayern were without Harry Kane for their Bundesliga win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday due to a calf injury, but he is expected to come back into the starting XI.

Keeper and captain Manuel Neuer was forced off against Gladbach and is a concern for the trip to Italy, while Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito are confirmed absentees.

The stats

Kane has scored 14 goals in his last 10 games in all competitions and netted in five of his eight appearances in the league phase, hitting eight goals in total.

Kane averages 3.6 shots per-game in the Champions League and 4.0 in the Bundesliga.

Atalanta have conceded in five consecutive European games and both teams have scored in La Dea's last four home matches.

Prediction

Atalanta are big price underdogs ahead of the visit of Bayern and the fact they ousted Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund in a play-off does make the hosts a tempting prospect.

However, Bayern have been clinical and close to perfect in Europe this season, as the Bavarians have only lost to Arsenal, winning their seven other league phase games.

The visitors are a short price to win so the best angle for this game could be focusing on the player markets and an anytime strike for England skipper Kane stands out.

He has eight goals in as many games for Bayern this season in the Champions League after hitting 11 goals in 13 games in the previous campaign.

He heads into Wednesday's game in sensational form, having scored in each of his last seven games in all competitions, hitting 11 goals in total during that run.

The fact he missed the Friday win over Borussia Monchengladbach is only a minor worry.

Kane should come into this game fresh and he will also be on penalty duties, so backing him to score at anytime looks like a strong play here.
