Match Preview – 20.45 Kick-Off at Allianz Arena, Munich

Bayern Munich signed Carlo Ancelotti as coach with one thing in mind – winning the Champions League. The veteran Italian specialist lifted the trophy three times already – with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007, and with Real Madrid in 2014. Now he has to beat his former club in order to progress and keep dreaming of becoming the first coach ever to win the Champions League with three different clubs. Bayern Munich approach the fixture in great form following the 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Real Madrid had a more disappointing weekend following the 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in the derby.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

The odds are in favour of Bayern Munich, and rightly so. Bayern Munich possess a superb home record, while Real Madrid have significant problems in defence. Pepe broke two ribs in the game against Atletico Madrid and joined Raphael Varane on the list of absentees, leaving Zinedine Zidane with just two fit centre-backs – Sergio Ramos and Nacho. That might not be enough as he faces his former mentor Ancelotti and the phenomenal attacking line of Bayern Munich. The odds on the hosts look good at 1.80.

It should also be mentioned that Robert Lewandowski scored nine goals in the last four Bayern Munich games at Allianz Arena. The Poland international striker scored four goals in his previous match against Real Madrid when he played for Borussia Dortmund in 2013. Lewandowski is likely to score in this game, and if he does so in both halves, you can take advantage of supreme odds at 9.50.
