The most crucial game of the year - until the next one - is given by Bayern on Tuesday night against Basel for the replay of the 16th phase of the Champions League. She will have to reverse the 0-1 loss from the first match in Switzerland, so that she can qualify and continue to hope that she will be present in the final that will take place in May at her home.
The Bavarians had good news after a while, as they defeated Hoffenheim 7-1 on Saturday and came close to five points ahead of champions Dortmund. Jupp Heynckes is not counting on the injured Van Buyten again, but Schweinsteiger is now available. Basel comes from an away victory over Grasshoppers and does not lose this year's domestic title either. Her coach, Heiko Vogel, is well aware of Bayern's swallows as she worked for nine years in the club's infrastructure departments. The two teams met last year in the group stage, with Bayern winning 2-1 in Switzerland and 3-0 in Germany.
Another size is Bayern, another is Basel, which may have surprised everyone this year, as on the one hand it eliminated Manchester in the groups and on the other hand it equalized the Germans in the first game, but I estimate that the Swiss have reached the ceiling and that Bayern, owes and "must" go to 8. The Allianz Arena is expected to go down again, the quality of the Germans midfield is great in relation to rivals the size of Basel and I estimate that easy or difficult Bayern will clear with a victory-qualification in the regular season, so I bet her victory with 2 goals or more.
