Why is Bayern Munich a safe bet to win?

Since the 2-2 draw versus Arsenal, which happens on Arsenal’s pitch in London, Bayern has picked up the pace. Munich is on a 3-match winning streak.

Harry Kane and his buds aren’t just winning. Bayern is dominating. 2-0 over Cologne followed by a 1-0 over Arsenal and a 5-1 win against Union Berlin. At no time during this season has Bayern played as well as they’re playing right now.

Why is Real Madrid a safe bet to win?

Real Madrid entered the second leg against Manchester City a massive underdog. Real forced a draw in the first leg, which happened on Real’s pitch at Santiago Bernabeau.

So most expected Real to fall apart in the second leg. All Real did was force a draw at Etihad and then outlast City in penalty kicks. But beating City doesn’t tell how well Real is facing. A few days later, Madrid took on rival Barcelona in an El Clasico. Real beat Barça 3-2. Then in their last, Real beat another rival, Sociedad, 1-0./p>

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City Betting Prediction

Although the match happens in Munich, Real is playing too well to go against. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad got by 3 quality opponents: Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Sociedad, in their last 3 matches.

The penalty kick shootout win over the Sky Blues is a testament to Real’s resiliency. Then coming back and beating Barcelona few days later tells us what we must know about how good Real is playing.

With that being written, Ancelotti is a master at using the 2-leg aggregate to his advantage. Real will frustrate Bayern into taking bad shots, but Ancelotti won’t push the attack unless there’s a legit opening, which makes the draw the play.
