"The round of 16 is a happy hunting ground for FC Bayern, as a look at recent history reveals: Munich have won eleven of their last twelve round of 16 encounters. The German record champions undoubtedly have the necessary confidence. They have won seven of their eight matches this Champions League campaign."
"Munich boast the highest goal average per game in the knockout stages - no other team who have contested at least five games in the knockout stages have achieved such a good rate. Atalanta on the other hand haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their nine knockout matches, conceding a total of 18 goals - two per game on average."
"The trip to Bergamo takes Bayern into uncharted territory. The German record champions face Atalanta for the first time in European competition. A look back at the history against Italian sides should give Vincent Kompany's team a boost: Munich have advanced in four of their last five knockout ties against Serie A teams."
Bayern Munich travels to Atalanta for their first-ever European competition meeting in the Champions League round of 16 knockout stage. Bayern enters with significant confidence, having won seven of eight Champions League matches this season and maintaining an impressive record of winning four of their last five knockout ties against Serie A teams. The German record champions boast the highest goal average per game in knockout stages among teams with at least five such matches. Conversely, Atalanta presents vulnerabilities, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their nine knockout matches while conceding eighteen goals total. Atalanta has lost six of their last seven European knockout matches, advancing only by defeating Borussia Dortmund.
