Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Preview

In the first leg of this game, Real Madrid were not at their very best, yet Los Blancos dug deep and got the win.

They fell behind to the Bavarians 1-0 after Keylor Navas was easily beaten at the far post, but they recovered well to beat Bayern 2-1 and give themselves an advantage heading into this second leg as they look to win their third successive crown.

Zinedine Zidane rested a host of his star players for their weekend win over Leganes and should play them here, however, Bayern did the same and that could be of no advantage to either side at the end of the day.

Bayern Munich would be slightly optimistic that they can pull off a win here going by Madrid’s recent struggles at home.

Los Blancos have failed to win more than once in their last four competitive home games and they have lost 4 of their last 14 at the Bernabeu.

Bayern Munich have already won the Bundesliga and they have also won 7 of their last 9 competitive games.

In the Champions League, they have secured 8 wins from 11 games.

Real Madrid have five wins and one loss from their last six meetings with Bayern Munich.

Bookmakers favour Real Madrid to win inside 90 minutes.
