"Ahead of a top four showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break, Bayern Munich will travel to the island of Cyprus for a Champions League duel with Pafos FC. Vincent Kompany's unit struggled on the road last year but will have an opportunity to pad their goal differential stat. Bayern has defeated all six Cypriot clubs in the past but this will be the first meeting with Pafos, who was founded in 2014."
"Vincent Kompany has zero plans to underestimate Pafos and is determined to win every Champions League match until Bayern clinches a top eight finish in the League phase. Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović were both rested over the weekend. The club is being patient with Kim Min-jae's calf injury, especially with a healthy pairing available with Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah."
Bayern Munich travels to Pafos, Cyprus, for a Champions League match ahead of a key Bundesliga clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. Pafos reached the League phase by eliminating Maccabi Tel Aviv, Dynamo Kyiv, and Red Star Belgrade and held Olympiacos to a 0-0 draw despite being reduced to 10 men. Bayern has beaten all six Cypriot clubs historically but meets Pafos for the first time. Vincent Kompany intends to take Pafos seriously, resting Kimmich and Pavlović over the weekend and managing Kim Min-jae's calf injury. Tactical tweaks include Laimer at left back and potential second-half substitutions involving Kane, Jackson, and Karl.
