Bayern Munich v CSKA Moscow predictions & betting tips

Bayern Munich is the defending Champions League champion. They beat Hannover in the weekend, and thereby returned to winning ways after drawing Freiburg. They’re now 4-1-0 domestically and boss Pep Guardiola has gotten a decent start. New signings Gotze and Thiago are both still out. So is Martinez, and Badstuber. Kirchhoff is fit again and could feature. Schweinsteiger is 40-60. The Bavarians can still rack up a world beating midfield with Robben, Ribery, Kroos, Muller, Shaqiri and Rafnha involved. In my opinion the defensive aspect of their midfield composition is the most weakened.

CSKA Moscow is 6-2-0 domestically and they look very very solid. Let me walk you through this side: In Akinfeev they’ve got a great keeper (Russia International). In defense you find the Central pairing of the Russian National team. Left Back Schennikov has plenty of U21 games. Right back Nababkin is on the fringes of the National side as well. In midfield you have several more internationals in Dzagoev, Honda, Musa and Wernblom. Up front Vagner Love and Doumbia are solid names too. Perhaps they need a top goal poacher or two to fulfill the potential off this team, but defensively speaking and footballing wise we deal with a modern, dynamic and extremely good side here.

Here CSKA will be without Dzagoev and Tosic who were injured on the weekend. Fernandes, Elm, Gonzalez and Doumbia won't feature either. Probably this will make CSKA play slightly more defensive that normally. 

Bayern Munich v CSKA Moscow betting tips

You have to be a raving maniac to take Bayern Munich on your betting coupon at 1.18-1.20. They are great yes, but don’t be fooled. They meet a very strong side here, and they haven’t looked their best yet this season. Those odds are unplayable!

Here CSKA Moscow will soak up pressure and try to stab on the counter. I expect them to be quite good on the counter too! In possession they have a side that is comfortable with it as well, so Bayern will have no easy game by any means.

I respect the strength of the home side, and I do think CSKA will be a bit shocked by the intense pressing Pep Guardiola has in store for them. However, I do think there is much value to be had in CSKA +2 at 2.10 (11/10) with Ladbrokes. Bayern as mentioned hasn’t really gotten up to last season’s level. They miss some players and here they’re faced with high quality opposition.
