Draw a Fair Result in First Leg

The teams’ thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg last week was the right result, based on the overall statistics. Bayern carried slightly more possession (52-48%), had more shots (13-6), and put more shots on target (7-5) but Madrid generated the more-dangerous chances and forced Bayern into attack mode with a strike in the 24th minute from Vinicius Junior off a slick feed from Toni Kroos.

Bayern would equalize on a 53rd-minute goal from Leroy Sane and take the lead just four minutes later on a Harry Kane penalty before Vinicius tied the game from the spot in the 83rd minute.

Bayern finished the first leg with 1.71 expected goals for, narrowly ahead of Real Madrid at 1.66.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Projected Lineups

The lineups for the second leg will be similar to the first leg. On the Madrid side, Danny Carvajal, who missed the first leg due to yellow cards, draws back into the lineup in place of Lucas Vazquez. For Bayern, Matthijs de Ligt returns from a knee injury and will take over from Min-Jae Kim at center-back.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Real Madrid has posted a 15-2-0 record in home matches during La Liga play this season and went 3-0 at home in Champions League group play. They only managed home draws in the round of 16 (1-1 vs Leipzig) and quarterfinals (3-3 vs Man City), though, and were somewhat lucky to do so. The xGF in those two draws, combined, were 1.99 to .1.65 in favor of the visitors.

Compared to the lofty expectations that accompany Bayern every season, the team has struggled in away matches this season. Bayern is just 9-2-5 away (29 points). If they don’t get at least a point from their last match at Hoffenheim, it will be the first time since 2010-11 that they failed to record at least 30 points in away matches. In their quarterfinal clash with Arsenal, Bayern certainly looked like the second-best side at the Emirates, though managed a 2-2 draw.

On the whole, I expect a more cagey affair than the first leg, and another fairly evenly matched game, which puts the best value on the regular-time draw at +275.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich picks:

•  First half under 1.5 goals (-166) at FanDuel
• Draw (+275) at DraftKings
