Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid have not lost at home to German opposition since 1996, a run of 16 matches unbeaten. Bayern Munich arrive at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano badly short of players, with an injury crisis ruling out Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari. Manager Vincent Kompany is also absent through illness, leaving assistant Aaron Danks in charge. Bayern's hopes rest on Harry Kane, who has four goals and two assists in three Champions League matches and is one goal away from matching Cristiano Ronaldo's record of scoring in 11 consecutive games in the competition.
Atlético come into the game on the back of seven straight LaLiga wins and four successive clean sheets. In the Champions League, they lost 2-1 to Liverpool, beat Manchester United 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Stuttgart. Bayern's last two European outings both ended level, 3-3 against Viking and 2-2 against Arsenal. Of the six meetings between the clubs since 2016, Bayern have won three and Atlético two, with the other drawn.
