Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips

The semi-finals of the Champions League are now upon us and Atletico Madrid have a great chance of taking a precious lead over to Munich for the second leg when they entertain the German champions Bayern Munich at their Estadio Vicente Calderón.

Atletico were fortunate to have survived the round of last 16 however as they progressed to the quarter-finals thanks to winning a penalty shoot-out against Dutch outfit PSV. But a 3-2 aggregate win over two legs against fellow Spanish giants Barcelona in the quarter-finals has well and truly placed them in a good position in this competition.

On home turf, Atletico possess a pretty formidable record as they’ve lost just once in their last 16 Champions League matches, scoring in all but one of these (which was a 0-0 draw with Real Madrid back in April last year). Forwards Griezmann, Torres and Correa are the danger men up front for the hosts.

Visitors Bayern Munich had to contend with spirited Portuguese outfit Benfica in a lively quarter-final contest which ended with the German club coming out on top 3-2 over the two legs. Bayern Munich had previously dealt with Juventus in the round of 16, but this was another high-scoring encounter with Bayern winning 6-4 on aggregate!

On the road, Bayern have failed to score on just three occasions from their last nine on their travels in the Champions League, and have scored 2 goals or more in 5 of their last 9 away matches. With the prolific goalscoring pair of Lewandowski and Muller (27 and 19 goals respectively this season to date), the Germans always stand a very good chance of hitting the back of the net.

I believe this will be a tussle between strikers Griezmann and Lewandowski as to who notches the first goal here tonight (both have scored the opening goal 3 times in this competition so far).

Pick: Both teams to score @ 2.10 William Hill
