Bayern Munich have the lead over Real Madrid from the first leg, but the Bavarians will be keen to avoid any mistakes in the second leg. Vincent Kompany's side arguably should have a much more commanding grasp of the tie; however, they will have to settle for the 2-1 scoreline they achieved in the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid provided an entertaining spectacle in the first leg, with 40 shots in total, but Bayern Munich's performance was superb, with goals from Luis Diaz and Harry Kane securing the win. Dayot Upamecano most notably squandered a brilliant chance early doors for Bayern Munich and eventually Real Madrid gave themselves a lifeline through a strike from Kylian Mbappe.
Bayern Munich will be seen as the home favourites for the second leg of this fixture, as the reigning Bundesliga Champions are unbeaten in their last 15 matches in all competitions and have won their last five following their emphatic 5-0 win away at St.Pauli. The home form for Bayern Munich this season has been magnificent, as Vincent Kompany's men have lost only once this season at the Allianz Arena in all competitions.
For Real Madrid, the UEFA Champions League is now the only realistic opportunity to win a trophy this season. Los Blancos were beaten by Albacete in the Copa del Rey and following the weekend draw against Girona, the visitors for this fixture find themselves nine points adrift from Barcelona in the league. Alvaro Arbeloa's men are without a win in their last three games in all competitions, and have not kept a clean sheet in their previous six matches.
Goals are to be expected in this fixture, given how Over 2.5 goals have landed in the last five matches involving Bayern Munich and in seven of the previous eight involving Real Madrid.
Bayern's home record is far too great for an inconsistent Real Madrid side, so we are opting for a 3-1 win for Kompany's men.
