Tonight these teams will be playing for the win that would guarantee them a place in the next round.
The game is scheduled to start at 2.45 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
With BATE Borisov playing basement club Lille in the other group game in Group F, the pressure is on both of these sides to get a result tonight. If BATE win they will move to nine points alongside these teams, meaning whoever wins today is assured of a place in the knock out stages.
However, both sides could potentially qualify tonight with just a draw. A tie would put both sides on 10 points, and if Lille can beat BATE in the other group game, both of those teams would be stranded on 6 points and unable to catch the top two with just one game remaining.
However, should BATE win and either of these teams lose then it could go down to a nervy final game.
In the final round of games, due to be played on Dec. 5, Bayern are set to play BATE at home, and Lille to host Valencia.
The worst case scenario for Valencia is to lose today, meaning Bayern Munich qualify and could rest key players in their final game against BATE Borisov.
That would mean they would have to travel to France against Lille in their final game desperately needing a win to secure their qualification.
