Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Bayern Munich advanced to their 13th Champions League semi-final by edging past Arsenal in the quarter-final. Only one European team have more semi-final appearances in continent’s primary tournament. The name of that team is Real Madrid.

The two European heavyweights will lock horns in the first leg of their mouth-watering semi-final tie on Tuesday evening at Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich have had a disappointing campaign in the domestic league. After 11 consecutive Bundesliga title, they gave the throne to impeccable Bayer Leverkusen this year.

The Champions League success is the only way for Thomas Tuchel to potentially rescue the season. Can he make it past record-holding 14-time European champions?

The story is very much different with Real Madrid. They have all but clinched La Liga silverware after a big comeback win over bitter rivals Barcelona nine days ago.

The victory in El Clasico helped Los Blancos increase the gap at the top of the league standings to 11 points with just six games remaining.

This will be the eighth H2H clash between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the European Cup/Champions League semi-final. Bayern Munich advanced from four of the previous seven semi-final ties against Real Madrid in the elite continental competition.

Real Madrid go into this on the back of six wins and a draw in the previous seven encounters with the Bavarians. Each of these clashes happened in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Prediction

• Bayern Munich notched two or more goals in 10 of their last 12 games across competitions.
• Real Madrid bagged at least three goals in four of the previous seven outings in all competitions.
• Each of the last five H2H meetings between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score option coming in.

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are known for playing free-scoring football. They may not have shown it in their respective Champions League quarter-final second legs but this matchup is something different. Bayern Munich saw off Arsenal 1-0 in the return match of the quarter-final tie earlier this month.

Real Madrid endured waves of Manchester City’s attacks to hold the English champions to a 1-1 stalemate at Etihad Stadium. That said, Bayern Munich own the best attacking record in this term of Bundesliga with 87 goals in 30 outings.

The Los Blancos have been the most efficient La Liga side with 70 goals in 32 league fixtures this season. Each of the previous five head-to-head meetings between these counterparts (all happened in the knockout stages of the Champions League) saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score option coming in.

This match has goals in it. We will be brave enough and go for the Over 3.5 goals bet as the main option at the 2.75 odds.

Real Madrid produced a fantastic defensive effort in the quarter-final clash against Man City at Etihad Stadium. Carlo Ancelotti will definitely not use the same ultra-defensive approach in Munich. In these circumstances,

Madrid do tend to allow more opportunities to their rivals. After all, Los Blancos shipped three goals to Man City in the first leg on the home patch and they also allowed two goals in the recent El Clasico win over Barcelona.

This is why we fancy the 2.30 odds offered for Bayern Munich’s talisman Harry Kane to score anytime on Tuesday.

Kane is Bundesliga’s Golden Boot with 33 goals. He also tops his team’s scoring charts in the Champions League with 7 goals. We’ll back the Englishman to score in the first leg on the home patch.
