Betting Tips
European juggernauts Bayern Munich and Manchester United lock horns at the Allianz Arena for their opening Group A fixture in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Boasting nine European crowns between them, the two teams last met in a competitive fixture nine years ago when Bayern ran out 3-1 winners in a quarter-final second-leg tie, while they last faced each other in the group stage back in 2001.
Bayern Munich vs Manchester United
Hosts Bayern Munich has enjoyed a respectable start to the Bundesliga season. Their 3-0 Super Cup loss to RB Leipzig was their lone setback this year. Bayern is unbeaten in the following four games, winning three of them. Bayern entered this match having lost a late penalty to tie 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen.
They lost a fantastic opportunity to take the top spot in the league rankings as a result of the outcome. It served as a reminder of the necessity for defensive improvement after Bayern took the lead twice. Bayern Munich has only kept one clean sheet in their first five games of the season. In contrast, they have scored two goals or more in each of their last four games.
One of the most memorable moments in European football history is Manchester United’s victory over Bayern Munich in the 1999 championship game. They enter this one as clear underdog because they are no longer in that shape. Bayern Munich has defeated United just once in the last 10 encounters in all competitions.
For the English team, both on and off the field, this season has already been difficult. They had lost three straight league games going into this matchup. United lost to Brighton 3-1 at home in a match in which they were clearly outmatched. It was their second straight loss and fourth straight game in which they had given up two goals or more.
Verdict
Since September 2017, Die Bayern have gone undefeated in 34 consecutive Champions League group stage contests. They have won all 13 of their games played during the group stage, and since Manchester City defeated them in 2013, they haven’t dropped a match at home at this stage of the competition.
The hosts have also had a strong start to the season, coming back from a German Super Cup loss to earn ten points from their first four Bundesliga games.
This game will clearly have Manchester United as the underdog. Both on and off the pitch, they have difficulty bringing them down. That won’t be well received before a game of this stature. Bayern has a strong home record in this competition and will see this as a game they can win.
In five competitive games this season, Thomas Tuchel’s team has allowed seven goals and only one clean sheet, while the opposition has scored in four of their five contests. Goals will undoubtedly be scored today because Manchester United has lost both of their recent games by a score of 3-1.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
