Real Madrid v Bayern Munich

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Preview

Real Madrid gave themselves a boost ahead of this return leg in their Champions League semi-final 2nd leg as the hosts recorded a 3-0 home win against Cadiz in the Spanish top flight on the weekend and having managed to hold Bayern Munich to an entertaining 2-2 draw away from home in last week's 1st leg, the Spanish hosts look to hold the upper hand ahead of this crucial 2nd leg tie at their Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night.

That comprehensive 3-0 victory over Cadiz in La Liga also extended Real Madrid's unbeaten sequence in all competitions to an impressive 20 games overall which includes picking up 14 wins in the process so Carlo Ancelotti's side will be in confident mood as they prepare for the visit of their German counterparts.

Seven of these 14 aforementioned wins have been registered on home soil at their Estadio Santiago Bernabéu while goals have also featured in these last 20 games as 11 of these matches have resulted in both teams scoring and indeed, last week's 1st leg ended in a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Five of Real Madrid's last 10 home games in all competitions have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Bayern Munich not only missed out on claiming an advantage ahead of this return leg in Madrid on Wednesday night after being held to a 2-2 draw at home by Spanish counterparts Real Madrid in last week's 1st leg, but the German side also suffered a heavy 3-1 loss away from home at Stuttgart in the domestic Bundesliga on the weekend as well.

Indeed, Bayern Munich have produced some inconsistent results of late in the past few weeks as Thomas Tuchel's side have collected just four wins out of their last nine games overall, collecting victories over the likes of FC Cologne, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga along with a 1-0 home win against Arsenal in the previous round.

However, Bayern Munich have also been dealt three defeats within these last nine games as well which has seen Tuchel's side slip up at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, Heidenheim and Stuttgart respectively, while goals also look set to occur on Wednesday night as six of Bayern Munich's last nine matches overall in all competitions have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Ordinary results away from home though seem to suggest the goals market may be the best option for this upcoming 2nd leg tie as Bayern Munich have won just two of their last nine away games as well.
