Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich – Click here to bet
Real Madrid booked their spot in the final 8 with an impressive 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City in the Round of 16. They won 3-0 at home and then beat City 2-1 on the road.
They suffered a shock 2-1 away defeat to Mallorca in the League on the weekend, but no doubt had one eye on this fixture. That broke a run of 5 successive victories in all competitions.
Bayern Munich had few problems seeing off Atalanta in their Round of 16 double-header, winning 6-1 away and 4-1 at home for a 10-2 aggregate victory.
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions with 11 victories and 2 draws and on the weekend, they beat Freiburg 3-2 away in the League.
Head-to-Head
These two teams met in the Champions League in the 2023/24 season with Real Madrid winning a 4-3 aggregate across the two legs, including a 2-1 home win. Both teams have found the back of the net in the last 7 meetings between the sides.
Betting
Real Madrid 2.75
Draw 4.00
Bayern Munich 2.30
Verdict
This looks like a game which should have plenty of goals in it, but the bookmakers are on to us here and over 3.5 goals is trading at 1.83. Real Madrid’ s weekend slip-up aside, both teams are in excellent form, and I think that home ground advantage will be the key here.
BET: Real Madrid win at 2.75
