Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich believes Liverpool are the favourites to progress in their Champions League tie.<\/p>\n
The two European heavyweights meet at Anfield on Tuesday night, in the first leg of their last-16 clash.<\/p>\n
It promises to be an unpredictable night on Merseyside, with little separating the two teams.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are enjoying a season to treasure, however, finding themselves right in the Premier League title race and improving all the time under Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
Bayern, meanwhile, have disappointed at times with Niko Kovac in charge, sitting two points behind rivals Borussia Dortmund having played one game extra.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kimmich believes Liverpool are expected to make it through, admitting to the <\/a>Telegraph<\/a><\/em> that Bayern\u2019s consistency is an issue:<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool are the favourites.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cThey have lost one league game all season and have let in only 15 goals. But when you look at us, we are not as consistent as before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Whether or not Kimmich\u2019s words are simply pre-match mind games is up for debate, but many are tipping Klopp\u2019s men to progress.<\/p>\n They have made Anfield a fortress again and victory over their opponents on Tuesday will put them in a healthy position ahead of the return fixture at the Allianz Arena next month.<\/p>\n","author":"Henry Jackson","image":[{"url":"https:\/\/readeverything.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/1036108308-1200x800.jpg","author":"Octavio Passos\/Getty Images Sport","title":"SL Benfica v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Group E"}],"dates":{"published":"2019-02-18T08:33:03+00:00","updated":"2019-02-18T08:33:35+00:00"},"id":"2-60005","link":[{"rel":"self","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/readliverpoolfc.com\/2019\/02\/18\/liverpool-are-favourites-to-beat-bayern-munich-claims-kimmich\/"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"application\/json","href":"https:\/\/readeverything.co\/msn-feed\/?id=2-60005"}],"keywords":[]}]}
