Real Madrid - Bayern München

After yesterday's goalless draw between Atletico and Chelsea we are all expecting this semifinal to offer attractive football and consequently more goals. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are not teams that face difficulties in front of the goal and it will not be a surprise, if we see a spectacular clash accompanied by many goals.

Real Madrid completely dominate in their home games this season, and undoubtedly the team will try to achieve, as good result as possible, before the visit to Allianz Arena. Los Blancos won their last 4 home matches against Bayern, but overall have lost 8 times against this rival. Real demonstrate high performance at home this season, scoring an average of 3.33 goals per home game. The major contributor to much of these goals however, is Ronaldo, who is doubtful for this meeting.

Surely, Ancelotti is aware that to reach the finals, a win in this game is a must, as Real have already shown their face in a visit to Germany, where only the chance rescued the "white ballet" of a huge defeat by Borussia Dortmund. Excluding the victory over Schalke 04, as a whole, in recent years Real are not playing particularly well in Germany, where their received serious defeats by Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen.

Bayern Munich, in turn, haven`t been defeated in 14 of their last 15 matches in the Champions League. The Bavarians are rushing to repeat the treble from last year, but a recent drop in form put some doubt for this. For the last 6 games of the domestic league and the Champions League, Bayern conceded 2 defeats and 2 draws, as the 0:3 loss to Borussia was particularly painful for the fans of the team. However, Bayern definitely have the potential to score at least 1 goal in this game, which will seriously tip the balance in their favor.
