Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: Champions League prediction kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds | OneFootball

Bayern Munich host Real Madrid in the the first leg of their Champions League semi-final this evening.

Thomas Tuchel is leaving the club at the end of the season but there is still a chance for him to depart on a high, with Bayern through to the last-four for the first time since they won the competition in 2020.

The Bundesliga giants were underdogs in their quarter-final tie with Arsenal, but their experience helped them edge through and they are now within touching distance of a return to Wembley, where the final was also played when lifted the trophy 11 years ago.

Real beat English opposition too in the last-eight, riding their luck at times to beat holders Manchester City on penalties.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side know how to get the job done on the biggest stage, with 14 European titles to their name, and it could prove to be a sensational end to the season. Real are on the verge of lifting the LaLiga trophy already, and there is every chance Champions League glory follows.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid team news

Alphonso Davies is available for Bayern, having been suspended for the second leg against Arsenal, while Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane face late fitness tests.

Konrad Laimer has overcome a knock picked up on the weekend but Matthijs de Light has not been so fortunate, and will join Kingsley Coman, Dayot Upamecano and Sacha Boey in those missing out.

As for Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham did not feature against Real Sociedad due to a stomach issue but is expected to return, as is Rodrygo who has recently been ill.

It is otherwise a largely-fit squad for Ancelotti to choose from, although Dani Carvajal is suspended and Lucas Vazquez or Nacho Fernandez will start in his stead at right-back.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid prediction

Real can be expected to be more front-footed than they were at the Etihad, with the Spanish side deservedly favourites in this tie.

They have not lost in LaLiga since September and are fully capable of grinding out results, even when not at their best.

Bayern have been in better form recently and their season rests entirely on the Champions League, but it would be a surprise if they are able to keep Real’s front-line quiet.

Real Madrid to win, 2-1.

Bayern Munich wins: 11

Draws: 3
