Bayern Munich-Real Madrid betting preview
Bayern Munich are in an unaccustomed position of having to catch up with the rival, when they host Spanish giants Real Madrid on this Tuesday in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final. Real Madrid have established a 1-0 lead after their home leg last week. A draw or even a 2-1 or 3-2 defeat will take Real to the finals.
Last year, Real Madrid came to Germany for the Champions League semi, and got a thumping from Dortmund. Bayern players and their legions of fans will be hoping for a similar result. But the situation is tailor made for Real Madrid. They can sit back and wait for an opportune moment to counter attack – something in which they are probably the best in the world.
Both the teams won the weekend domestic fixture after their previous meeting. But the way the matches unfolded offer hints about the teams’ form. Real Madrid galloped to a 4-0 win against Osasuna, while Bayern had to come from behind for an ultimately comfortable-looking 5-2 win over Werder Bremen.
Real Madrid have not managed a win at Munich in recent times. In their last five visits, they lost four and drew one. And all the losses had a similar score-line: 2-1. They may not mind a defeat with a similar score-line, as it will take them to the finals.
Both the teams are likely to field their full-strength eleven as there are no major injury scares. Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema vs Arjen Robben, Thomas Müller and Mario Mandzukic – there is nothing much to choose between these teams.
Bayern Munich-Real Madrid Prediction
Bayern has the upper hand to win this match. But Real Madrid is better-placed to reach the finals.
