Odds: Munich (3/4) Draw (10/3) Madrid (7/2)Gamingtips Prediction –  Munich 4:2 Real Madrid 

An away goal for Real Madrid will force Bayern to score 3 goals to progress to the final and it’s unclear what Real Madrid’s approach will be – they are sure to field a very strong attacking side and they may actually try to play attacking football.  If they score twice Bayern will need to score 4 goals.

Bayern Munich will undoubtedly try to score early because even if they are winning 2:0, they will always be aware that a single goal for Real Madrid will end their campaign.

Ultimately we should be in for a very entertaining game with plenty of goals given the amount of attacking talent on show.

The winning side will progress to the final to play either Atletico Madrid or Chelsea who play on Wednesday evening.
