Michael Owen on Liverpool’s one major advantage against Bayern Munich

Michael Owen thinks Liverpool have enough about them to beat Bayern Munich tonight, but the game is “on a knife edge.”

Jurgen Klopp’s side head to the Allianz Arena tonight to take on the German giants after a 0-0 stalemate at Anfield last month.

A score draw would be enough for the Reds to progress, and Owen believes Klopp’s side the away goal rule could be the advantage to just tip things in Liverpool’s favour later.

“It’s certainly on a knife edge and it’s the toss of a coin, I’d suggest,” Owen told the Echo.

“Nil-nil is never a bad result in my opinion. Of course Liverpool could go out there [on penalties] drawing 0-0 but any score draw sends them through.

“This away-goal rule could play into Liverpool’s hands now. So it is a 50/50 game.

“Liverpool of course have conceded a couple of goals against Burnley, but in general they have been looking as solid as a rock at the back.

“It’s feast or famine at the moment up front. They are either not scoring or scoring fours and fives, but we know there are goals in there and Bayern Munich are on a nice little run, too.

“They scored plenty of goals at the weekend [beating Wolsfburg 6-0] but it’s not the best Bayern team I’ve ever seen.

“They aren’t streaking clear at the top of the Bundesliga, so I’m pretty confident.”
