A draw qualifies the Spaniards who try to prevent the Germans from reaching another semi-final
In Munich, Bayern host Villareal, at 16:00 (Brasília time), for the return game of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. A classification would leave Bayern second in the ranks of the greatest semi-finalists of the Champions era (since 1992/93). At the moment, the German team is tied with Barcelona, with 12 appearances, and behind Real, who have 14 and could reach 15.
The defeat by 1 to 0 for the Spaniards in the first game, made the German team break a significant mark. After three years or 30 games in the Champions League, Bayern ended a match without scoring at least one goal. To advance, the Bavarian team needs a simple victory to go to extra time and penalties, or a triumph by two goals difference.
Villarreal is trying to reach the second semi-final in the club’s history in the Champions League. In 2006, he fell to Arsenal, who would be Barcelona’s vice-president. After eliminating Juventus and having a great performance against Bayern, the Yellow Submarine has no lack of hope.
The only significant absence on the German side is defender Süle, who has the flu. Left-back Alberto Moreno is recovering from a knee injury and is low at Villarreal.
(1.22) Bayern Munich vs Villarreal (10.50); hunches and predictions
Both teams score (no): Betting mainly on the strength of Bayern Munich at home, the most likely scenario is a dominance by the hosts. Therefore, one of the most sought-after predictions of the game is goals for only one of the teams.
Bayern Munich have scored 17 goals in the last 5 games (average of 3.4 goals per game). For this reason, and also because of the need to win, another good guess is 3 or more goals in the final score of the game.
Playing at home, with better technical quality and needing to win, Bayern Munich must have a high number of finishes, and consequently corners. Therefore, the guess of 9 or more corners in total is relatively likely.
