The second leg of the Uefa Champions League quarter final between Bayern Munich and Villarreal takes place on Tuesday and @Olimp_SA have a preview including suggested bets.
Bayern Munich vs Villarreal Preview: 12th of April, 21:00
Bayern Munich are presented with a come-back challenge in the Champions League Quarter Finals as they host Villarreal at the Allianz Arena, and the visitors are currently leading the tie by 1 goal.
Bayern Munich
The Bavarians have suffered their first Champions League defeat away from home since 2017 at the Estadio de la Cerámica last week. Despite being firm favorites, they now see themselves 1-0 down on on aggregate going into the second leg on the home soil. The Villarreal defeat has definitely rocked the Germans` confidence as they have managed to just scrape past Augsburg over the weekend thanks to non-other than Robert Lewandowski`s penalty in the 82nd minute.
With the negatives aside, the Bavarians have won their last 5 out of 6 home games across all competitions and it has been over 3 years since they last have failed to score at least 2 Champions League goals at their home stadium. Trailing on aggregate, the Bayern outfit are still a strong favourite to progress to the semi-finals and a home-ground advantage will certainly give them the necessary boost.
Villarreal
The Spanish underdogs are now just 90-minutes away from reaching the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since the 2005-2006 season. Villarreal played with the odds against them going into the Quarter Finals, but an early goal from Arnaut Danjuma saw them secure a first-leg victory. Unai Emery`s side then squandered a few opportunities to be in a more comfortable position which they might regret going to Allianz Arena with such a slim advantage. The Submarines were held to a 1-1 draw over the weekend against Athletic Bilbao, however, it is important to note that Emery made a full-11 changes meaning the starting 11 players in Germany will all have fresh legs. Villarreal have proved to us why they should never be written-off too early, but a slim lead and the pressure of the Allianz Arena will not make their chances of making it to the next round any easier.
Verdict
Villarreal have shown that they are capable of managing a game against a European powerhouse like Bayern Munich. Going into the second legthey do hold a slender lead and will field a fresh starting 11. However, it is difficult to see Bayern Munich slipping up twice in a row, especially at the Allianz Arena and I think they will bounce-back and find themselves a spot in the semi-finals.
