Bayern vs. Manchester City: preview and betting tips

Will Manchester City once again pay for the failed Champions League rematch or will they protect their three-goal lead against Bayern and advance this time with ease? What to expect from Wednesday’s showpiece and what to bet on?

Bayern had a bad week last week, only drawing 1-1 with Hoffenheim after losing in England. They remain top of the table, but second-placed Dortmund are only two points behind without cup duties.

Manchester, on the other hand, moved closer to the top of the Premier League again at the weekend. It is four points behind second place with a game to spare. Through all competitions, he has won ten games in a row.

Bayern’s key figures

The home side rely on Jamal Musiala, the offensive midfielder has netted 15 goals and assisted 13 more. Thomas Müller (8+11) only started on the bench at the Etihad, but is expected to return to the lineup in the home rematch.

Manchester City’s key figures

Erling Haaland is dragging the visitors, the Norwegian spearhead striker has netted an incredible 47 goals and assisted six times. Kevin de Bruyne has also contributed to his tally, the Belgian midfielder has assisted 23 goals in addition to seven.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Bayern are rolling at home, although they haven’t won their last two games at the Allianz Arena. They have scored more than twice in five of their last seven home games. In the Bundesliga, they have a terrific average of 2.75 goals per round.

The Citizens are shooting it too, they have scored an average of 4.5 times per game in their last six games, giving Leipzig seven, for example. Their league average is 2.6 goals per game, a very good number for the English Premier League.

Considering the great home advantage, the fact that the visitors can afford a low scoreline, and the individual quality of Musiala, I think Bayern will win in the return leg.
