Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City Betting Preview
Bayern Munich
It will take a massive effort for Bayern Munich to reach the last four of the Champions League. Their performance in the first leg was a huge disappointment, especially considering that they topped their UEFA Champions League standings in the group stages, and won both home and away against PSG in the previous round.
However, it shows the loss of Robert Lewandowski still leaves a gaping hole at the top of the field, as the Bavarian giants were relying on their wide players to create and score chances on their own. Bayern now come into this showdown against City having lost their previous two.
Meanwhile, City is one of just three Champions League teams to boast at least a 50% winning rate against Bayern; alongside AC Milan and Real Madrid. History could be made on Wednesday, as the German champions will be looking to become just the fifth side in European Cup history to overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola has tried to keep noise surrounding a potential treble to a minimum in recent weeks, but if City reaches the last four ahead of their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, then the talk will only heighten. City appears to be hitting form at just the right time this season, as they have now scored 27 goals in their previous six soccer matches.
City’s record against German opposition is also incredibly hard to ignore, as they have lost just one of their 20 matches against teams from the Bundesliga. Furthermore, they are unbeaten in all nine matches against German sides in the knockout stages of the Champions League, winning on eight occasions.
Guardiola’s record against Thomas Tuchel has also improved since losing the 2021 Champions League final, as the Spaniard has come out on top in each of their previous three showdowns.
Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City Betting Picks
Bayern Munich has little chance of qualifying for the next round, which is evident in the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City odds. However, they will at least try and go out of the tournament by winning this return match against the Premier League champions.
We could see this being a very entertaining end-to-end match-up between the sides, with Bayern Munich edging to a win, with both teams finding the back of the net.
- Pick: Bayern Munich & Both Teams To Score (+333)
