Bayern vs Man City Preview

Champions League Quarter-Final, Wednesday, April 19th, 20:00 (UK)

The Bavarian giants, accustomed to dealing significant blows to prestigious clubs throughout the continent, were handed a bitter tasting of their own medicine during the first leg in Manchester. Unfortunately for Thomas Tuchel and his Bayern Munich playing staff, their paths met with a dazzling Manchester City side that continue to ravage any opponents they face towards the back end of the season, no matter how big or small.

Rodri’s opener just before the half-hour mark paved the way for Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland to effectively put the tie to bed in the 70th and 76th minute, respectively. The Champions League knockout stages have been the setting for numerous miraculous comebacks in the past but against this City team? And a three-goal deficit? The odds are stacked in a not-so-favourably fortress-like defence around City’s first leg haul, that’s for sure.

In a week marred by knockout blows, Sadio Mane landing a right hook on teammate Leroy Sane suggests that not all is well after the defeat but that we also may see a heavy-handed response on the pitch in Munich. Of course, that’s music to the ears of the neutral, though how does one navigate such a first-leg deficit from a betting perspective?

After all, Manchester City would be thrilled with a 1-0 loss in the German capital – not your usual footballing landscape.

Bayern vs Man City Stats & Facts

Interestingly, Manchester City failed to win all three away games in the group stage of the Champions League this season.
Over three years have passed since Bayern Munich failed to score at the Allianz Arena, suggesting Pep’s City are in for a game on Wednesday evening.
Manchester City have won ten successive matches in all competitions coming into the second leg with Bayern Munich.
Erling Haaland’s eleven goals in the Champions League this campaign stands head and shoulders above the rest. Salah (8), Mbappe (7), and Vinicius Junior (6) rank as the next best.

Look, I wouldn’t be surprised if Manchester City ran away with things again. They’re fully equipped to do so, not just with the eleven that will force a starting berth but also with the sheer quality waiting in the wings to provide an injection of class to swing a game in a different direction.

However, as we’re in Munich, and Bayern will be hell-bent on somehow muscling in on the tie, I’ve decided to start with Bayern or Draw Double Chance, which comes in at 1.53. For a game in Munich, that’s a sizable Double Chance angle.

And like I’ve already touched on, City would be thrilled to lose or draw the second leg as long as it’s not by a three-goal deficit. The concern here is that Manchester City can sit in and soak up pressure for significant periods, picking off Bayern in transition and on the counter. That has to be a real worry for Tuchel and Bayern.

Next up, following his fat lip and five shots at The Etihad Stadium, it’s Leroy Sane against his old club to record at least two shots in the game. Last week, he was the main protagonist in attempting to catch Ederson off guard, shooting on sight whenever a chance presented itself. If Bayern are to make strides towards causing any kind of ‘upset’, you’d imagine Leroy Sane will be pivotal to that success.

So, we’re at 1.90 at present. To give an extra bit of juice to the price and staying with player shots, Joshua Kimmich feels like a wise addition from central midfield. Similarly to Sane, Kimmich recorded two attempts last week as Manchester City ripped through the Germans at will. A 2.4 shots per game average in the Champions League this season highlights just how keen Kimmich is to take a pop.

Adding Kimmich to have one shot n 90 minutes gets us to a three-pronged bet builder priced at 2.60. Not bad.
