Why Bet on Bayern München?
This doesn’t look like Bayern München. Far away was the German giant that crushed in the Bundesliga and overwhelmed Europe. The Bavarian team suffered humiliation in the first leg of the quarterfinals, not only because of the result (3-0) but also because of some individual performances.
The team now led by Thomas Tuchel only had 4 shots on target that day. Furthermore, in the coach’s first 5 games, they have won 2, tied 1, and lost 2, for a winning percentage of less than 50%, something unthinkable some time ago.
As if that were not enough, the situation between the players is not the best. According to various sources, after the game against City there was a fight between Leroy Sané and Sadio Mané, and the Senegalese punched the German. Precisely this weekend the former Liverpool player was not in the squad against Hoffenheim (1-1) and Sané had a swollen lip. The truth is that the club has not confirmed anything and Mané was training again this Sunday with his teammates.
In the Bundesliga, they are only two points above Borussia Dortmund, but the level of the team is giving a lot to be desired.
In the first leg, Dayot Upamecano was one of the culprits with serious errors, however, this weekend he played and it is expected that he will also do so on Wednesday. Eric Choupo-Moting, the team’s goalscorer this season, returned to training after his injury but it is highly unlikely that he will return this week.
Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City is enjoying itself a lot. On one hand, in the Premier League, thanks to Arsenal’s missteps, they are now only 4 points behind the Gunners with 1 game less and with the remaining match between the two being at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, after 3-0 in the first leg, they already have a foot and a half in the semifinals.
To say that this is thanks to a single person may be an abuse and a lack of respect for the rest of the team, but the truth is that what Erling Haaland has done is enormous. The 22-year-old Norwegian striker is a goal-scoring machine: he has 14 goals in his last 6 games, in addition to 1 assist, and this season he has 47 goals and 6 assists in 40 outings. He has already broken England’s goalscoring records and still has at least 9 games to go, in it’s his first season! Against Bayern, he scored 1 goal, 1 assist, and is the top scorer in the Premier and the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola’s team is full of stars and they are all playing a fundamental role in the team. In addition to Haaland, players like Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Rúben Días, or Nathan Aké are at a very high level and make it a very compact unit. Julián Álvarez has assumed his secondary role and whenever he enters the field for a change, he stands out.
Between the Premier League and the Champions League, the team has scored 103 goals and the season has not ended.
Final Betting Analysis: Bayern München vs. Manchester City
Manchester City is practically qualified for the semifinals, but they don’t want to trust themself, Real Madrid already eliminated them on the hour last year, so in Germany, they will come out to win. From what has been shown in England, the Citizens are much better, but Bayern is still a strong team, so we believe it will be a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Manchester City is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +143, while Bayern München has +180 and the draw is +280.
The last time they met was on April 11 of this year with a 3-0 victory for Manchester City with goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland, while the last time they played in München was on September 17, 2014, and Bayern won 1-0 with a goal from Jérôme Boateng in the 90th minute. Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer played that day.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +280, you will gain $280 for a total payout of $380.
