Madrid Undefeated in 20 Games
Madrid will have 1 day of extra rest having played on Friday at home to Cadiz and winning 3-0 which wrapped up the La Liga title. That extends a long undefeated 20 games and just 1 loss in 42 games. Madrid has also only failed to score in 1 of those 42 games.
They’re undefeated in this year’s Champions League at 8-3-0, and both teams to score (BTTS) bets have gone 8-3 to the yes.
In Real Madrid’s last 25 UCL games, they have only lost twice, while scoring in 24/25.
Bayern Fall to Stuttgart
In a rather meaningless game this weekend, Bayern Munich lost away to Stuttgart 3-1 for the first time in forever, and are still 2nd in the Bundesliga but only 2 points above 3rd place Stuttgart now.
Bayern are 8-3-3 in their last 14 in all competitions, scoring in all but 1 of those 14 and multiple goals in 13/15. They have only 1 loss in this year’s Champions League at 7-3-1 and have kept clean sheets in 4/7 recent games too, while only suffering two defeats in this competition going way back over 22 games.
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction
When looking ay Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich predictions, Harry Kane leads the Bundesliga Golden Boot race with 36 goals and has scored 8 goals in UCL. He’s scored in 7/10 games in all comps for a total of 8 goals, plus has scored in 4 straight games for 5 goals.
When it comes to shots on target, he’s had at least 1 in 11/15 games, but just 1 shot on target in each of his last 2 games and both were PKs. So he has been contained outside of penalties, but is still always worth a bet in the goals markets.
Some player news to consider for this Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich game:
RM: Aurelien Tchouameni missed the Cadiz game with a foot injury
- RM: Dani Carvajal is back from suspension
- BM: Matthijs de Ligt could return, while Dayot Upamecano is back
- BM: Eric Dier left Saturday’s game with a head injury
- BM: Raphael Guerreiro also left the Stuttgart game injured
BTTS is -175 / RM dc is -400 = sgp
Bayern has only 2 road wins in 9 and not versus great teams, like Darmstadt and Union Berlin. Their last 7 on the road have seen BTTS + Over 2.5 hit and none saw fewer than 4 goals. I see goals in this game from both once again, but I don’t see Real Madrid losing so let’s back goals from both and Madrid on the double chance just in case they need extra-time or penalties.
- Champions League Picks: BTTS + Madrid double chance (-110)
