With a spot in the knockouts already secure, Bayern Munich have a chance to sneak into the top eight of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday when the league phase comes to a close. Bayern enter Matchday 8 in 15th place but are just one point shy of a spot in the top eight and so direct passageway to the round of 16 is a real possibility for Vincent Kompany's side.

Bayern Munich was stunned by Feyenoord in a 3-0 Champions League defeat. Over the weekend, Bayern bounced back with a 2-1 win over Freiburg. Slovan Bratislava has already been eliminated from the Champions League knockout rounds and will likely rest players to focus on defending its domestic league title.

Bayern Munich enter Wednesday's Champions League Matchday 8 knowing that they will at least be in the playoffs, but a victory and some help could lock up a spot in the top-eight for the Bavarians. All 36 teams will be in action as 18 games will take place simultaneously at 3 p.
