We all hear about how well Real Madrid are doing, how prolific Cristiano Ronaldo is, and how they are likely going to take the La Liga title from Barcelona. However, Bayern Munich don’t get quite so much attention, but they are equally as strong as the Spaniards. The German side have powered through this season’s Champions League in impressive fashion, and their fantastic home form, coupled with Real Madrid’s dodgy history away to German sides, could cause an upset. Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes will probably see his side miss out on the Bundesliga title to the immense Borussia Dortmund this season, so they will be targeting the Champions League hard. Bayern are one of the great European heavyweights, and after winning a tough group, they breezed past FC Basel and Marseille to set up the semi final clash against Real Madrid. Bayern take a six match winning streak at home in Europe into this fixture, and have won twelve of their last thirteen.
If you like looking to history for your betting options, then Bayern Munich will be favourites. Bayern hold a 10-6 head to head record against Real Madrid out of 18 previous UEFA encounters. Out of four semi final meetings in Europe, Bayern have prevailed on three of those occasions to Real Madrid’s once. So there are positive reasons to back the Germans, and another is striker Mario Gomez, who is one of Europe’s top strikers this season. Gomez is the Champions League’s second highest goalscorer this season, having netted eleven (only behind Lionel Messi with 14). To further back up the claim for a Bayern Munich win, the Germans have only ever lost once at home against Spanish opponents, and their home record stands at W12 D5 L1 against Spaniards. So impressive reading, and overall, in European Cup semi finals, Bayern have won eight and lost five.
But can even the powerful Germans stop the immense juggernaut that is Real Madrid? Jose Mourinho’s men are leading La Liga, and have broken the 100 goal barrier for the season. Cristiano Ronaldo has netted eight times in this year’s Champions League and the y are unbeaten in this year’s competition so far. Real Madrid have scored 32 goals on the road to the semi finals, and their away form this season has been impressive. Mourinho’s men have won four out of five matches, and on top of that, they have conceded just the one goal. So that is the power which Madrid brings to the table, but then you go and look at their away record on German soil and see a big discrepancy. Real Madrid have historically struggled in Germany, winning just one of 22 visits there. In those twenty two matches, Madrid have lost fifteen of those games, so they really don’t like playing over there. Will that be an effect this time around though? Will Jose Mourinho be daunted by such a record? That is the kind of thing he eats up. This is Real Madrid’s 23rd European Cup semi final now, and that have made the final on twelve previous occasions.
