Zurich:
Leoni; Koch, Barmettler, Teixeira, Rodriguez; Schonbachler, Aegerter, Buff, Djuric; Chermiti, Mehmedi
Midfielder Stjepan Kukuruzovic is suffering from cruciate ligament damage and will miss the majority of the season, while Mathieu Beda is suspended after picking up a red card in the first-leg at the Allianz Arena. The pair were replaced by Heinz Barmettler and Oliver Buff in the 0-2 loss to Neuchatel Xamax on Saturday, and the duo are expected to retain their places.
Bayern Munich:
Neuer; Rafinha, Boateng, Badstuber, Lahm; Luiz Gustavo, Schweinsteiger; Robben, Muller, Ribery; Gomez
Jerome Boateng and Luiz Gustavo sat out the 5-0 trashing of Hamburg, but are expected to be available for the game on Tuesday. Their replacements on Saturday, namely Daniel Van Buyten and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, delivered impeccable performances, meaning the German and the Brazilian are not guaranteed a starting spot against Zurich.
Croatian striker Ivica Olic, who only recently returned from a nine-month spell on the sidelines, suffered a hip injury in the game against Hamburg and is expected to be out for eight weeks. Brazilian defender Breno has also been ruled out the match as he is still recuperating.
DID YOU KNOW?
Zurich have played 12 games against German opposition, losing nine, drawing one, and winning just two times.
The Swiss side have eliminated a team from Germany in a two-legged play-off only once back in season 1976-77, when they knocked Dynamo Dresden out of the European Cup on away goals rule after a 4-4 aggregate score.
The Super Swiss League runner-ups have qualified for the group stage of the Champions League only once back in season 2009/2010.
Zurich's Ludovic Magnin spent seven years in the Bundesliga, playing for Werder Bremen and Stuttgart. He replaced current Bavarians captain Philipp Lahm in the Swabians' line-up in 2005.
Bayern Munich eliminated Swiss oppositions in the form of Neuchatel Xamax 3-2 on aggregate under Jupp Heynckes in his first stint with the German side back in 1987-88 European Champions' Cup.
The Bavarians have won four of their last five away games in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich's Ivica Olic and Jerome Boateng played against Zurich with Hamburg in the round of 32 of the 2007-2008 Uefa Cup. The Croatian scored in a 3-1 first-leg win in Switzerland, and the Red Shorts went on to progress after a goalless draw in Germany.
The Bavarians last missed on a place in the Champions League back in season 2007-2008.
Prediction
Bayern Munich are in red-hot form after three consecutive wins, and taking into account the immense improvements in defence, Jupp Heynckes' men are expected to get a good result in Zurich on Tuesday night. The hosts entered the game back on a 0-2 home defeat, but their underdog status can play to their advantage.
Editor's Prediction
FC Zurich 0-1 Bayern Munich
