Madrid vs Munich: top five bets

Stat-attack on Tuesday’s tussle

The eyes of domestic football fans will be firmly on Leicester’s attempt to overthrow Atletico Madrid and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday evening, but those looking for an example of the beautiful game at its best won’t want to miss Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich.

The Spanish giants take a 2-1 lead back to the Bernabeu, but few expect them to sit on that advantage and defend their way into the final four. Coral traders have Zidane’s troops as favourites for the win, and that’s difficult to argue against, but we take a look through your options.

Below you will find our list of the five best ways to bet on the showpiece event. Five different markets, with prices to suit everyone’s pocket. Click here to make your predictions, or read on as we run through the pointers that can be taken from the stats.

Real Madrid to win

First and foremost, if you want to keep it simple, a bet on Real Madrid to win the match looks to be your safest play. The La Liga side go into Tuesday’s fixture on the back of a 2-1 first-leg cheer over in Germany, and that was Los Blancos fourth in-a-row over Bayern Munich. We have to go back to 2012 for a Munich win vs Real. The home dressing room can be added to your bets at Coral’s 11/8.

Ronaldo to score two or more

Cristiano Ronaldo was, once again, the hero when these sides met last week, scoring two goals at the Alliaz Arena to defeat the 10 men of FCB. That will come as little surprise to followers of the form, but what will catch the attention of punters is that Ronaldo has netted two goals in each of his last two meetings with Munich, also bagging a brace in a 4-0 win when the pair met in 2014. Taking CR7 to score two or more again on Tuesday looks worth a pop at 3/1.
