Neutral fans have unsurprisingly backed Bayern Munich to finish top of the group after winning the Bundesliga and reaching the quarterfinals of last season’s UCL before crashing out against Manchester City.

The Group stage fixtures kick off on the 19th of September, 2023, with both sides in action.
