Our analysis: the state of form of the two teams
This match is perfectly balanced after a spectacular first clash where the two teams engaged in an intense duel.
Real Madrid, 11 points clear at the top of La Liga with just 15 points still in play, could clinch the title with a win over Cadiz if other results are in their favor – but their title looks inevitable rather than uncertain. Their strong league position allows them to focus on winning this competition. A 2-2 first leg draw was their eighth unbeaten Champions League encounter against Bayern. They now expect to extend their unbeaten run in the 12-player competition with victory on home turf and progress to another final.
Bayern lost their Bundesliga title after 11 consecutive titles to Bayer Leverkusen. Thomas Tuchel will be determined to live up to the Bavarians’ trophy expectations by winning the Champions League, something he achieved as Chelsea manager in 2021. Munich will likely be disappointed they failed to seize their chances in of the first match to take the lead in Spain, given that they are unbeaten in 16 home matches in the Champions League. They now need a first win in this competition against Real in nine attempts to avoid a season without a trophy since 2011/12.

Bet 1: Real Madrid win @ 1.95 with Betsson
This second round has a lot to live up to. A spectacular first match saw four goals evenly distributed, even a penalty for each team and numerous chances, but ultimately leaving the duel perfectly balanced. Real Madrid are slight favorites to win this duel and I agree as they are unbeaten in 21 La Liga and Champions League games at home, winning 17. It is unusual to be able to back the Whites with the home advantage. home at reasonable odds, but we can do it here. The 1.95 offered constitutes the first of my advice.
With an incredible array of attacking talent in action, this match promises goals. There is the Bundesliga’s top scorer, Harry Kane, who has scored 43 goals for Bayern in all competitions this season. Then we have Jude Bellingham, top scorer in La Liga with 21 goals in all competitions, and he’s not even a striker! Any of the other offensive players lined up are also high-level and can score, but it’s Bellingham who gets my vote to be added to these boards. He has already shown on numerous occasions that he is the type of player who performs on the biggest stages and manages to be crucial in the most important moments. This match is a scenario written for him. His last goal was in injury time for Real Madrid in a 3-2 defeat against Barcelona. Remarkably, it was the second time this season in La Liga during El Clásico that he has scored in this way. He also equalized 2-2 with a last-minute goal against Belgium in his final appearance for England.
Bet 3: Over 3.5 goals in the match @ 2.62 with Betsson
Both of these teams expect to win every game they play. Therefore, there will be no step back in this second inning, just as there was none in the first which produced four goals. In their last home match, the Whites beat Barcelona 3-2. They played out a 3-3 draw with current holders Manchester City in this competition. They previously beat Napoli 4-2 in the group stage. Meanwhile, in the quarter-final, Bayern drew 2-2 at Arsenal, a team that boasts the best defense in the Premier League.
