Why is Bayern Munich a safe bet to win?

Make no mistake, when Bayern is on, they remain one of the best club teams in the world. Bayern hasn’t been on in their last couple of matches, beating Frankfurt by a single goal and drawing 1-1 versus Leverkusen. But Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Mueller, and the rest know when to turn the switch. Expect Bayern to turn the switch on Tuesday. Losing to Salzburg in the Round of 16 isn’t part of Munich’s plans.

Why is RB Salzburg a safe bet to win?

And although Salzburg has just 2 wins in their last 3, they’ve outscored their opponents 6 goals to 0. In their last 5, the dog in this has outscored their opponents 9 goals to 2. Salzburg proved in the last head-to-head versus Bayern that they can hang with the Bundesliga power.

Bayern Munich vs. RB Salzburg Betting Prediction

Salzburg played exceptionally well in the first leg. The underdog held Bayern a goal less, which isn’t an easy accomplishment. But although Salzburg played fantastic soccer, we shouldn’t read too much into the 1-1 draw. Bayern wasn’t at full throttle in the match.

Munich knew they only had to escape Salzburg with a draw in order to head into the second leg with a lead. Road goals mean more on the aggregate than home goals, which is why Bayern has the lead even though the first match ended in a tie.

Expect the real Bayern Munich team to show up in this. Bayern believes it can beat Man City and Liverpool and win the Champions League. Munich should roll to an easy 3 goals or more victory.
