After a thrilling quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid lock horns again at the iconic Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.
The two European heavyweights played out a magnificent match in the Spanish capital last Tuesday, with Bayern eventually sealing a 2-1 win.
But while the German champions enter the second leg as favourites, ruling out a Real Madrid comeback in the competition they have won a record 15 times is never a wise move.
What a fantastic quarter-final second leg we have in store here, and below you will find our full preview, with some sports betting online tips based on the latest Champions League odds.
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Preview
As per usual, Bayern played with zero fear at the Bernabeu last week, with goals from Luis Diaz and Harry Kane securing the precious away victory.
However, Kylian Mbappe’s 74th-minute strike for Real Madrid has certainly kept the tie alive, with Los Blancos tallying 10 shots on target overall.
Had it not been for a heroic performance delivered by veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, things could look very different ahead of this contest in Munich.
But Bayern flexed their footballing muscles once again on the weekend, as they charge towards yet another Bundesliga title, with Vincent Kompany’s side winning 5-0 at St Pauli.
Kane was even afforded a full rest in the fixture, which is a pretty ominous sign for the Real back-line.
Annoyingly for Alvaro Arbeloa, his Los Blancos side were unable to build on a decent first-leg display, drawing 1-1 with Girona last Friday in La Liga.
It means Real are now three matches without a victory across all competitions, with the Spanish title all but surrendered to fierce rivals Barcelona.
So this match represents the last slither of hope for success in Real’s season, and turning the tide at the Allianz represents one of the harder tasks in European football.
Although, Bayern did lose 2-1 at home to Augsburg as recently as January…

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Harry Kane @ 1.69
Kane’s first-leg goal took him to 49 for the season, 11 of them coming on the Champions League stage. With the likes of Diaz, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala feeding him, it is rare a game goes by in which the England captain does not score – particularly those at the Allianz!
Anytime goalscorer – Kylian Mbappe @ 2.18
But when it comes to Champions League goals this season, Kane does not reign supreme. Mbappe has been the most prolific forward in this competition, his first-leg strike at the Bernabeu taking him to 14 from just 10 appearances. At better odds than evens, and Bayern keeping just one clean sheet in the previous four home games, this selection looks a no-brainer.
