Bayern Munich were denied a third win on the trot last Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Bayer Leverkusen.

Prior to that, the German Bundesliga champions claimed a 4-1 victory over SpVgg Greuther Fürth on February 20, before seeing off Frankfurt 1-0 six days later.

Bayern Munich have now turned their attention to the Champions League, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by Salzburg in the first match of their two-legged round-of-16 tie on February 16.

Meanwhile, Salzburg continued their charge for the Austrian Bundesliga title last time out as they claimed a comfortable 4-0 win over rock-bottom SC Rheindorf Altach.

They head into Tuesday’s game unbeaten in each of their last seven games across all competitions, claiming five wins and two draws since a 2-1 friendly loss to Flyeralarm Admira on January 22.
