Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 09/17/25

Chelsea return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2022-23 season, but the Club World Cup winners will be believing that they can cope with the rise in calibre of opposition. The Blues eased to glory in last season’s Conference League, crushing Real Betis 4-1 in the final, and they defeated Champions League winners Paris St-Germain 3-0 in July’s Cup World Cup final to show their capabilities on a going day. However, that success came on the back of a long, hard season and their opening test in the league phase of the competition is a tricky one as they travel to a battle-hardened Bayern, who have made a blistering start in the Bundesliga.

Bayern made the quarterfinals of last season’s Champions League, losing to Inter following a last-16 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, but they finished only 12th in the league standings and will be keen to secure a place in that elusive top 8. The Bavarians are a perfect 3 from 3 in the German top-flight, having racked up 14 goals, and they may simply have too much firepower for a Chelsea team that is still working out their strongest XI after a summer overhaul.

Enzo Maresca’s men have started the Premier League campaign with 2 wins and 2 ties, with them conceding an injury-time equalizer to share the spoils in a 4-goal thriller at Brentford on Saturday. All signs point to a high-scoring matchup but ultimately Bayern look a cut above at home and should collect all 3 points.
