That’s not to say there’s any distinct advantage, given Bayern is 4-0 in away UCL contests this season.
Manchester United’s Europa League game at LASK in Austria will be played behind-closed-doors, games in Serie A are postponed, and matches in Spain’s La Liga will be played in empty stadiums until early April.
There are reports that Serie A may need an alternate format to properly conclude its season, and clearly this is not going away. The San Jose Earthquakes’ next home match, March 21, is 11 days away and the Santa Clara Public Health Department has banned all gatherings over 1000 people.
It’s going to get weirder before it gets better for sports in the wake of coronavirus fears.
