Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Preview
Despite a lacklustre performance in the league, Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern side is setting aside their domestic struggles to pursue their seventh Champions League title, the first since 2020.
Their journey to the semi-finals involved topping their group and subsequently defeating Lazio and Arsenal in the knockout rounds.
While the Germans endured only one defeat in the campaign, which occurred against Lazio in the Round of 16 first leg, Los Blancos remain undefeated but have drawn their last three matches in the competition.
Real Madrid topped their group with six wins out of six before overcoming RB Leipzig and Manchester City in the knockout rounds to reach the semi-finals.
Both teams overcame English opponents in the previous round, with Bayern Munich securing a 3-2 aggregate victory against Arsenal, while Real Madrid edged past favourites Manchester City on penalties after two drawn matches.
Despite being considered underdogs, Bayern and Real demonstrated the importance of experience as they strive to reach another European final.
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Betting Tips and Predictions
Bayern Munich To Win & Both Teams To Score
The Barvarians boast an impressive record at home in the Champions League, having lost just one of their last 24 matches at the Allianz Arena. Moreover, they remain unbeaten in their last 15 home matches, with 12 wins and 3 draws.
Notably, Bayern have failed to score in only one of their last 29 Champions League home games, which was a 0-0 draw against Copenhagen in the group stage of this season’s competition.
Tuchel’s team will recognise that this Champions League campaign represents their sole chance for trophy success, especially with Leverkusen clinching the league title and their exit from the DFB Pokal. Consequently, we expect them to pull out all the stops to secure a win and gain an edge heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu.
When it comes to the “both teams to score” prediction, it’s worth noting that Real Madrid has found the back of the net in every Champions League fixture this season. In fact, over the past three seasons, they’ve scored in nearly every game except for two instances against Manchester City last season and PSG in 2021.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second tip for Tuesday’s Champions League clash is over 2.5 goals, which is 67/100 on Lucky Block’s latest Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid odds.
This match promises plenty of action in front of goal, with both teams showing strong attacking performances throughout the season. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have both seen over 2.5 goals in six out of their ten matches in the Champions League.
The two teams have scored a combined total of 40 goals, and this number is likely to rise due to the abundance of attacking talent on both sides. Leading the charge for the hosts is Harry Kane, who has scored seven goals in the competition, while Real Madrid’s main threat comes from Rodrygo, their top scorer with five goals.
Bayern Munich Team News
Jamal Musiala was sidelined for the previous game, but there’s optimism that he’ll be fit for this upcoming match.
However, Konrad Laimer’s participation is uncertain due to an injury he sustained, while Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry are doubtful as they were also absent in the previous fixture. Kingsley Coman has been ruled out for definite.
Bayern Munich Predicted Line-Up: Neuer, Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier, Mazraoui, Goretzka, Laimer, Muller, Guerreiro, Musiala, Kane
Real Madrid Team News
Rodrygo was absent from the last game due to illness, but there’s a possibility of his return for the upcoming match.
However, Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba are sidelined for the rest of the season. On a positive note, there’s a chance Ferland Mendy could return to the squad.
Real Madrid Predicted Line-Up: Lunin, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Fran Garcia, Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo
