Real Madrid – Bayern Munich Prediction & Picks (01.05.2018)

The defeat against Real Madrid in the semi-final first leg of their Champions League last Wednesday met Bayern Munich deep into the marrow, finally, the chances of the second triple under head coach Jupp Heynckes, they declined significantly. The last word is certainly not yet spoken. Finally, the Spaniard’s Achilles heel lies in the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, where they showed unusual susceptibility in the current season.

The best example is the Fast-K.O. In the quarter-final second leg against Juventus three weeks ago, where Real had nearly lost a 3-0 lead from the first leg. This time, the lead of the Royal is not nearly as comfortable and the Bavarians should be able to accomplish similar performances as the Old Lady. Even if Bayern’s injured misery could turn out to be problematic, we believe that Bayern will at least not lose and recommend a tip on the Double Chance X / 2. Corresponding bets are offered by Bet365 at odds * to 1.83.

Real Madrid:

At national level, Real Madrid will not win a pot in the current season. Finally, the championship is almost certainly awarded to the archrival from Barcelona and in the Cup came out weeks ago. At least the Champions League qualification for next season’s sack and bags, so the concentration of the Royal now exclusively the Champions League is considered where they could become the first team ever win for the third time in a row Loving Cup. Already before the first leg was clear that coach Zinédine Zidane would subordinate everything to this goal. The Royal made a big step towards the final with a 2-1 victory a week ago, despite the fact that the sharpest weapon allowed themselves an almost ninety-minute break. So Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was indeed on the lawn, but to see it was virtually nothing.

Even though the Royal players are determined to fight before the return leg, they have a flaw in the current season. The home record of the Zidane Elf is the worst in eighteen years. So that we do not get us wrong, it is still more than tidy, but not a comparison to the past years. Just from the last five home games Real could only win against Girona FC (6: 3) and Leganés (2: 1 last weekend with a B-Elf). Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao each drew 1-1. In the Champions League sat against Juventus with the 1: 3 defeat a resounding slap. Here, Zidane’s team was up to the seventh minute of added time with three goals behind and was awarded a penalty kick, none other than Cristiano Ronaldo sank in goal and made possible a place in the semi-finals in the first place under very happy circumstances.

Bayern Munich:

At the national level Bayern Munich is swimming on a wave of success and almost without exception degrades all opponents to extras. Thus, the championship has long been in the towel and in the Cup, the team of Jupp Heynckes rolled over Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals. Accordingly, Bayern were also traded in the semifinals of the Champions League as a favorite and actually had a variety of opportunities to decide the game for themselves. But the lack of opportunity utilization prevented a better starting position before the upcoming second leg. No matter if it was just a coincidence or the immense pressure, which was solved on the team of Jupp Heynckes. Ultimately – as Thomas Müller rightly put it – the Bavarians have to straighten up again and see if they have their asses in their pants or if it’s a lack of mental quality.

In 2018 Bayern had to accept at all only the defeat at RB Leipzig (1: 2). The remaining games could decide the Heynckes-Elf for the most part clearly in their favor. Four losses to Sevilla (2: 1), Augsburg 4: 1), Bayer 04 Leverkusen (6: 2) and Hannover 96 (3: 0) followed four defeats against the Bulls. A guarantor, at least for the national successes so far was Robert Lewandowski, who regularly contributed at least one hit and thus will pick up the top scorer for the best scorer this year. On the other hand, Lewandowski dives regularly on a regular basis and contributed two goals in the quarter-final first leg against Istanbul. Against Sevilla and Madrid, he remained completely pale and even had best chances. After the first leg of the Pole was also allowed to rapport with the coach, who then gave him a commitment guarantee. Should the Pole stop his stoppages in the Champions League, the chances for the final qualification should increase significantly.
