Bayern Munich vs Liverpool UEFA Champions League Odds & Preview
When: Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 4:00pm ET Where: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany TV: TNT / Galavision Radio: None Live Stream: Fox Sports Go Soccer Odds: Bayern Munich +105 / Liverpool +245 / Draw +260 Why should you bet on Bayern Munich? Bayern Munich has mounted a furious comeback in the Bundesliga to take advantage of a collapse by Borussia Dortmund and move into first place in the table, and their offense has been firing on all cylinders, as they have 11 goals in their last two matches. The midfield is dominating possession and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at long last looks like his former dominant form. There will be the temptation to let their outside backs creep too far up the field, but I don’t see Bayern coming out with a game plan that is overly aggressive, instead allowing the Reds to make mistakes and take advantage. Some of the numbers show that Bayern has a better shot at advancing. Of the 31 teams that have put up a 0-0 draw in the road leg to start a Champions League knockout tie, 21 of those have made it to the next round (68 percent). If Bayern can make it to the quarterfinals, this would be their eighth straight year to do so, so they have the experience to avoid the extreme pressure at this level. Striker Robert Lewandowski has found the back of the net 23 times in his last 22 Champions League matches at the Allianz Arena, including nine goals in his last 10 knockout round games at home. Why should you put your money on Liverpool? Liverpool should come out playing like a team with its collective back against the wall. They have their hands full in the English Premier League, sitting a point behind Manchester City, and they remember going all the way to the Champions League finals last year. They have not won the Champions League in 29 years. Liverpool is aware of Bayern’s strong defense but also knows that they will need goals. Virgil van Dijk, who sat out the first leg due to a suspension, will return, giving the Reds a better back line. Liverpool also has some numbers on their side. The Reds have only lost once in their last eight matches against Bayern Munich in international competition, all the way back in 1971, when Bayern won at home against Liverpool, 3-1, in the Cup Winners’ Cup. The two sides also met in the European Cup/Champions League once before, back in the 1980-1981 semifinals. Liverpool advanced on away goals (1-1 aggregate) — and this was also the last time Liverpool hoisted a Champions League trophy, beating Real Madrid in the final. However, they have lost their last four road games in Champions League play, scoring just three goals while permitting nine, but they have never lost five straight road games in European competition. Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction Is Liverpool due? Or will Bayern Munich roll at home? Current form shows that Bayern should roll to a win, and if they can keep that consistent offensive pressure, they should win, 2-1, and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.5⃣🏆 @LFC 🖐️ Will Liverpool become six-time European champs under Klopp?#UCL pic.twitter.com/DSUFIG4Rix
