The Champions League action returns this week with the start of the quarter-finals and there is a huge clash taking place at the Allianz Arena, with Bayern Munich hosting Inter Milan in the first leg.
Bayern last lifted this trophy in 2020, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final, while Inter were last crowned European champions back in 2010 when overcoming the Bavarians at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Team news
&w=707&quality=100)
Bayern have a lengthy injury list with Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano all sidelined, while there are huge doubts over the fitness of Kingsley Coman and Manuel Neuer.
Inter are without the suspended Kristjan Asllani, who must serve a one-match ban for accumulation of yellow cards, while Mehdi Taremi, Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries are all out because of injury.
There is better news on Alessandro Bastoni, though, with the Italian expected to be fit despite being withdrawn at half-time of the 2-2 draw against Parma last time out with a knee problem.
The stats
Bayern are on a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions and have built up a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
The Bavarians are unbeaten in their last 22 home matches in the Champions League, winning 17 and drawing five.
Harry Kane has scored 10 goals in Europe this season, the joint-second highest, and has netted in his last four matches for club and country.
Serie A leaders Inter have drawn their last two games against rivals AC and Parma, but that has extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 matches.
The Nerazzurri have kept just one clean sheet from their last six assignments.
Prediction
It looks tough to pick a winner from this first leg, given the fact both teams are in solid form and sit top of their respective divisions going into the final stretch of the domestic campaign.
Arguments could be made for either side to gain an advantage at the Allianz Arena, but there is not enough confidence to back the home or away victory and the better play looks to be in the anytime goalscorer market.
Bayern hotshot Kane has once again been in magnificent scoring form this season, scoring 34 goals in all competitions, with 10 of those coming in the Champions League.
The 31-year-old has notched in four of his last six appearances for Bayern and he also found the back of the net in both of England's matches during the recent international break.
Kane scored three times in the last-16 tie against Leverkusen, two of those coming in the home leg, and he looks capable of staying in the goals on Tuesday.
