[Tips]:
FC Bayern Munich feature strong overall strength and have been in hot form lately.

They won the previous 7 matches, showing terrible attacking strength.

Besides, the team are also strong at home.

Although Chelsea F.C. are the reigning FIFA Club World Cup champions, their recent form has been inconsistent.

A frustrating draw in their last Premier League match exposed defensive issues.

With a number of starters dealing with injuries and fitness concerns, they may not be able to field their best squad.

The Blues' away strength is decent, but their lack of defensive stability may make it difficult to withstand Bayern Munich's powerful offense.

Considering all factors, Bayern Munich have the home advantage, better form, and a more complete squad.

Thus, they are expected to defeat Chelsea and get a win in their Champions League opener.
