Bayern Munich take on Atletico Madrid at Allianz Arena in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals.
Pep Guardiola let several bench players to play against Borussia Monchengladbach in their last game. The two teams were tied, which wasn’t a catastrophe for Munich side as they have solid margin to the second Borussia Dortmund. On top of that, Guardiola managed to give rest to some of the key players as he would need the best footballers to perform against Atletico on Tuesday. Bayern proved this European campaign that everything is possible at Allianz Arena. No only they are able to beat any opponents, they also can cancel any lead and come from behind as they did against Juventus.

By contrast, Guardiola’s side had several problems on the road this season. The same happened at Vicente Calderon last week. Despite advantage in possession and number of scoring moments created, Bayern conceded goal on 11’. No matter how they tried they couldn’t cancel the lead. This way, Atletico have advantage over their opponents prior to the second leg.
Having beaten Rayo Vallecano 1:0 recently, Atletico Madrid managed to keep up with Barcelona thus prolonging the championship race on one more match. In the first leg Madrid side predictably managed to collect a clean-sheet despite serious press of Bavarian club. No wonder, Atletico have the best defense in La Liga and they also allowed only 4 goals in the Champions League this season. Simeone’s side managed to keep their goal safe for 6 game in a row.
Nevertheless the bookies consider the hosts as undisputable favorite, leaving almost no chances to the Simeone’s men. Most likely Bayern will have serious possession and they will probably try to beat Atletico’s defense from the very beginning, but it doesn’t mean they’ll succeed.
Prediction: Atletico to win with (+1) handicap.
