BAYERN MUNCIH V BARCELONA PREDICTIONS

Semi-final week in the Champions League gives us some mouth-watering ties between arguably the 4 best club sides in the World.  In our first match on Tuesday run away league winners from Germany and Spain take the field when Bayern Munich host Barcelona in the first leg of their semi-final.

Bayern Munich have already clinched the German Bundesliga title and have a 20 point lead over rivals Borussia Dortmund.  Their domination has been complete this year and they have put together 13 straight wins in the league, just astonishing consistency.  In the Champions League they got to this stage after an easy tie against Juventus in the quarter finals.  2-0 wins both home and away saw Bayern through with little trouble and with their domestic league already won they can focus all attention on this tie.

Barcelona are 13 points clear at the top of la liga and have won 5 of their last 6 matches.  Their form might not be as dominant as Bayern’s but any side who are 13 points clear of Real Madrid have had a fantastic season and they well deserve to regain their title.  In the quarter finals Barcelona faced a very tough PSG side and we saw two very close games.  The first leg in Paris finished 2-2 after PSG’s injury time equaliser stopped a likely Barcelona win.  Barcelona went into the second leg at home as big favourites but PSG made it very tough for them and they went behind to a Javier Pastore goal in the 50^th minute.  Barcelona never panic in such situations though and they got the goal they need through Pedro with 20 minutes remaining and held on for an away goals win.  The match was much closer than most people thought but with Messi playing around 75 minutes of the 180 total they were always going to struggle.

That is the big talking point for the match, how fit will Messi be?  He sat out Barcelona’s weekend win over Levante and should be fit enough to start here but will he be effective if he is not at 100%?  Bayern will be without Toni Kroos who is out for the season.

BAYERN MUNICH – BARCELONA BETTING TIPS

Bayern will know they need to take a lead into the second leg if they hope to go through so will be pushing hard for the wi here. Barcelona will be happy keeping the game low scoring and looking to pick up a goal if the chance presents itself, I expect them to play deeper than usual and look to not allow Bayern to break forward quickly.
