Two of the biggest sides in the world go head-to-head at Allianz Arena in Munich in this Champions League semifinal first leg.
Bayern are fighting for 2nd place in Bundesliga as Leverkusen have run away with the league. In UCL this season their record is 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. At home in UCL is unbeaten run of 4 wins and 1 draw. Recent all competition form for the Munich men is 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Real Madrid needs just 4 points to have the title mathematically sewn up with 5 games left in La Liga. Overall UCL form for them is 7 wins and 3 draws from 10 games. Away UCL form of 4 wins and 1 draw. Real Madrid is unbeaten in a staggering 40 matches going all the way back to September. In that time, they have 30 wins and 10 draws.
Team news: Bayern have Alphonso Davies back from suspension. They have three doubts in Musiala, de Ligt and Laimer but expect to have them available. Dani Carvajal is the only new missing man for the visitors.
Head-to-head statistics: 16 games – 4 wins Bayern Munich, 3 draws and 9 wins Real Madrid.
Betting selection – First leg ties are always tough to decipher as teams used to be cagey under away goals rule but with that no longer in play games are now more open. I take Harry Kane score anytime at 13-10 or 2.30 with bet365. He has 42 already this season and he can add to that tally here.
