Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Preview
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will meet in the second semi-final match of the UEFA Champions League. The game will take place on Wednesday, May 8 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
A week ago in Munich, the teams ended the first leg with a productive draw (2-2). Munich were close to victory, but Vinicius Junior brought his team a satisfactory result in the final part of the match with a penalty kick.
Going to Madrid after a draw on their own field is not the best outcome for Bayern. The Spanish club has extensive experience of major victories in the Champions League, and is simply very strong on its field. This is also noted by bookmakers: Los Blancos is given odds of 1.43-1.50 for reaching the finals, while the chances of Munich are estimated much more modestly – 2.55-2.65.
Naturally, bookmakers believe that in the upcoming match, the Spaniards have a good chance of winning in regular time. Judging by Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich odds, the odds for this outcome are estimated at 1.90-2.00. The probability of success of the guests is estimated at 3.90-4.05, while bookmakers offer odds about 3.70-3.85 for a draw in the regular time.
Let's evaluate the current form of the rivals and choose the most reliable option for Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich tips.
Real Madrid Preview
Last weekend, Real Madrid became the Spanish champion for the 36th time, officially putting an end to the La Liga tournament motivation for the team. Carlo Ancelotti left most of the main squad on the bench in the match with Cadiz, but this did not prevent Real from achieving a confident 3-0 victory. Madrid officially formalised the championship a day later, when Girona beat Barcelona 4-2, making the capital club inaccessible to competitors.
Los Blancos have not lost 20 matches in all tournaments, if counting the relegation from the Copa del Rey from Atletico Madrid for a defeat – 90 minutes of that match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Rojiblancos snatching a victory in extra time. Real also suffered the last defeat in regular time from Atletico – at the end of September, Diego Simeone's team won 3-1 on their own field.
Bayern Munich Preview
The German grandee has absolutely nothing to brag about – in the Bundesliga, the team ends the season with a complete lack of motivation. Bayern lost the championship title to Bayer Leverkusen, and from that moment on, it no longer sees an urgent need to achieve results. For example, last weekend the club lost to Stuttgart 1-3, and can finish the season in third place.
Not once in 2024 has Bayern managed to keep its gates locked in an away match. In December 2023, Thomas Tuchel's team beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, after which they had already conceded for 11 matches in a row.
Bayern has also certain difficulties with the squad: Raphael Guerreiro was added to the injured Kingsley Coman during the game with Stuttgart - he is out until the end of the season. Eric Dier was also forced to be replaced in this match, but after the game Thomas Tuchel admitted that this change was a precaution and Dier will be ready to play against Real.
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips
The teams have a rich history of head-to-head meetings and it is important to note that Real has scored at least one goal against Bayern for 16 consecutive games. It is difficult to imagine that the Germans will be able to break this tradition next Wednesday. The Munich defence is not reliable either in the Bundesliga or in the Champions League.
We believe that an experienced Spanish club will enter the Santiago Bernabeu field uninhibited, confident in their abilities and will be able to achieve victory in regular time. It is this option with a pretty good odds that we offer as a Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich prediction. Our tip for this game is Real Madrid to win at odds of 1.94.
