Bayern Munich vs BATE Borisov Live Stream: Watch Free Online Champions League Game

Bayern Munich will look to avenge to shock defeat to BATE Borisov on matchday two of the Champions League, when the two teams lock horns in their final Group F game at the Allianz Arena.

Last year's runners-up Bayern were surprisingly beaten 3-1 in Belarus in the reverse fixture, with that result throwing the group wide open, before the German giants recovered.

Bayern, along with Valencia have already qualified for the knockout stages, while BATE will take part in the Europa League after ensuring third spot from Lille.

Bayern will look for a win to seal top spot, but Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes is not expecting an easy outing.

"BATE are a really good team -- strong technically and physically competitive -- so it won't be a kickabout," Heynckes said. "We saw during our first meeting how good they are and to be honest they deserved that win.

"They played a really great game. They ran 128km in that game -- that is a great performance. We only ran 120. Sometimes teams like BATE are underestimated. Unfortunately, we did that in Belarus.

"Mario Gomez is an option to start. He has been playing well again, even though his rhythm is not yet 100 percent. But I have a lot of good strikers, so I will decide who will play just before the game.

"As the team are working well, we are all very happy. The team are very close-knit. The team ethic prevails, and we want that to continue."

BATE manager Viktor Goncharenko, whose side won the Belarusian title last month, wants his side to end their eventful campaign on a high. "All the players are well prepared as it is our last game of the season," he said. "We are coming up against one of the best teams in Europe and we must not forget that this is the Champions League; because of that we are very motivated.

"Every team that goes to Munich is bound to have many problems against Bayern -- it is never easy here. We have to create chances and stay confident. If we get an opportunity, we need to strike immediately. We are very well prepared for the game."

Defender Holger Badstuber could miss the rest of the season after rupturing knee ligaments in the 1-1 draw against Dortmund, while Arjen Robben, Luiz Gustavo and Emre Can are ruled out. BATE have no injury worries to concern them.
