UEFA Champions League Preview: Bayern Munchen VS Villarreal

 

 

Pick:OU  Over (3.5) @2.03

 

Analysis:

Bayern Munchen welcomes Vllarreal to Allianz Arena in the Champions League quarter final

second leg, on Tuesday night.

 

Bayern Munchen

The Bravarians lost away to the yellow submarine by a goal margin. In what was their first Champions League away defeat in years. Thanks to Danjuma's goal that gave the visitors here the ultimate victory. But Unai Emery's men should get complesant as a goal difference isn't much to worry the former 2013 champions league holders. The last weekend match saw the Breavarians winning by a lone goal. Thanks to Lewandoski penalty in the closing hours of the game. Nagelsmann should have a fully fit squad to match on to victory in this encounter. Although Bayern haven't gone past this stage since 2014/2015 season and all their lost came from Spanish opponents.

 

Villarreal

Villarreal are well prepared to enter this encounter after a first leg 1-0 win over the host. Yellow flags were waving around the Ceramica stadium last week Wednesday as they had a mountain to climb and climbed it really good with a victory. Although The yellow submarines shouldn't let that get into their head, because a goal advantage is nothing compared to what happened to Salzburg with a thumping of 7-1 after a 2-2 draw in the first leg of that encounter. Villarreal drew Athletico Bilbao 1-1 as few players where rotated and some rested for this encounter.

 

Verdict:

After the first leg ended in a defeat for the host here. They will think twice to get prepared for this encounter as they would love to progress to the semis where either Benfica or Liverpool would be waiting. Vllarreal are prepared for this one but i don't see them getting past this stage as they haven't gotten to the semis in over a decade.

 

 

OVER 2.5 GOALS

UEFA Champions League -- FC Barcelona vs Benfica

FC Barcelon

After the disastrous defeat to Benfica and Bayern in the first two game of Champions League group state, Barcelon beat Dynamo Kyiv twice at home and away. At present, they rank second in Group E with 6 points. If Barcelona lose to the Portuguese giants again, they risk being usurped by Benfica. Moreover, given that they face the leader Bayern in the final group game, they'd better win this game, not even a draw. Xavi's opening game as a new manager ended perfectly with a 1-0 victory over the Espanyol on Sunday. Barcelona have been unbeaten in their last four games and have scored goals in the last seven home games.

 

 

 

 

Benfica

Although the 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the second game attracted attention, the two disastrous defeats in Bayern Munich greatly reduced Benfica's hope of winning a place in the knockout of the Champions League. If Benfica takes all three points and separates from Camp Nou, they will get the second place in the group, if fails, they will have to occupy a place in the Europa League. The visitors could afford to rest a number of their top players on Friday for their Taca de Portugal meeting with Pacos Ferreira and still got a 4-1 victory.

 

Xavi will certainly provide a more reliable defender for the game and ensure that the team are in the top two. Benfica will not be easily defeated and have good memories of their battle with Barcelona in September, but we still expect Xavi's rule to continue here in a perfect way.

Dinamo Zagreb VS Sheriff Tiraspol

Dinamo Zagreb
After seeing off Legia Warsaw over two legs of a tightly contested tie in the previous round, Dinamo Zagreb aim to reach the Champions League proper having missed out last year. In their previous game, they beat NK Lokomotiva Zagreb 1-0 in their domestic league Croatia 1.Division. However, in the European football outpost of Tiraspol last week, they were beaten by Sheriff 3-0 through Adama Traore's 80th-minute strike - his fourth of the qualifying campaign. Dinamo's talented forward could be required to work his magic again on Wednesday, as the Modri seek a minor miracle - a minimum of three goals.
 
 
 
Sheriff Tiraspol
As 19-times domestic title-winners, Sheriff are well accustomed to taking part in qualifying. Sheriff had beat Teuta and Alashkert before claiming Crvena Zvezda in the third round by virtue of a 1-0 second-leg win., and now they have turned around the tie. They had won 3-0 against Dinamo Zagreb at home, and now have all the momentum. All in all, Sheriff have a three-goal lead in aggregate.
 
 
 
Comprehensive Analysis
Dinamo have incredible head to head record against the opponent. Besides, they are also from a far better domestic league.

On the other hand, Sheriff have a three-goal lead in aggregate, and they are good at defense. All they would need to is take advantage of the spaces left behind by Zagreb, due to their constant attacks. Therefore, it is believed that it will be a intense match. Take both teams to score and the goals will be over 2.5 in total.

Dinamo have had the benefit of two legs against Valur to prepare them for this Tuesday's challenge, so are likely to capitalise on home advantage and the return of their star men to the side.

Pick: Dinamo Zagreb

Alashkert VS Connahs Quay Nomads FC

The recent situation of the two teams is almost the same, including a 2-2 draw in the first leg. It's not surprising that the two sides will draw again in the regular time when they are not sure of winning each other.
