08/05 Football Predictions: Real Madrid hosts Bayern Munich for a place in the Champions League final

Football Prediction

Real Madrid takes on Bayern Munich with the semifinal tied at two goals apiece as Spanish and German giants reunite for the second leg in Madrid.

Odds by MozzartBet

Having been crowned Laliga giants over the weekend after Barcelona fell to Girona, Madrid enters the game as clear favourites. Los Blancos continued their fine season with a 3-0 win over Cadiz on the weekend, while Bayern lost to Stuttgart.

Bayern, meanwhile, have lurched from disappointment to disappointment for much of the campaign and must rally themselves to upset the odds in the Spanish capital. 

H2H / Stats 

This will be the 28th time Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have gone head-to-head in the Champions League/European Cup, making it the most-played fixture in competition history. There have been epic battles over the years, with Bayern dominating the early meetings by winning nine of the first 13 and losing just three, striking fear into Los Blancos supporters.

Team News 

David Alaba isn’t expected back until next season but Carlo Ancelotti should have an otherwise fully fit squad available to him. That includes goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who kept a clean sheet in the weekend’s La Liga title-clinching 3-0 win over Cadiz; his first competitive club appearance since June last year.

Bayern Munich are monitoring the fitness of defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Dier, but both should be able to feature. Kingsley Coman is still sidelined while Raphael Guerreiro picked up a muscle injury at the weekend and will be out until the end of the month. 

Probable Line-Up

Real Madrid XI: Courtois (GK), Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius

Bayern Munich XI: Neuer (GK), Kimmich, Kim, Dier, Mazraoui, Laimer, Goretzka, Musiala, Muller, Sane, Kane

Verdict 

Bayern threatened for large parts of the first leg but are a disjointed team under Tuchel and look too vulnerable defensively to promise a surprise victory.

Bet on Real Madrid Win✅

Reason:  It feels foolish to discount Madrid in a Champions League knockout tie at the Bernabeu. The Spaniards have enjoyed this fixture the most, with Real losing just two of the 14 meetings since their 2002 first-leg defeat in Munich.

Over 2.5 Goals✅

Reason: The last five meetings between the two sides have produced more than two goals and that is set to continue owing to the talent at disposal in this game. Many see Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich as the greatest inter-country rivalry in European football, which is certainly the case for supporters of both clubs. The 2-2 draw in the first leg last week certainly backed that claim. 

Harry Kane to Score❌

Reason: In a calamitous season for Bayern, Kane has been a standout performer who has scored freely. Being that he takes penalties too, we back him to find the back of the net again in this match.
