Verdict
Both teams have an awesome record in the Champions League this season, and both teams don’t concede many goals in the league or in the Champions League. This is a hard one to call, I think Bayern Munich will want to keep the game tight and will not want Real Madrid to get any away goals. However, with the likes on Ronaldo on show, I can’t see Real Madrid scoring a blank. I think there may be some mileage in laying over 2.5 goals for the 1st 20mins as both teams hardly concede any goals in the 1st half. As for the final result, maybe 1-1, but it’s too hard to call.
