We are only days away from the final matches of Champions League 1/8 finals which will reveal the 4 remaining teams that will join Manchester United, Tottenham, Porto and Ajax in quarterfinals of the most prestigious football tournament in the world. In this betting preview, we will focus on the fixture between Bayern Munich and Liverpool, which will take place on March 13th at Allianz Arena in Munich. Before place the bets on this game you should check some Hungarian bookmakers since they provide very good bonuses and high odds.

After a bit underwhelming draw at Anfield in the first leg, where we did not see any goals despite 25 goal attempts from both sides combined, Liverpool will look to fix their impression with a better performance in Germany at Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich vs Liverpool Betting Preview

Looking back at the first leg, it was quite surprising to see Liverpool failing to push hard enough for a much-needed goal in the first leg, but scoring goals seems to be their main issue this season, and arguably the main reason why they dropped to the 2nd spot in the Premier League after one too many fixtures ending in a draw. Liverpool subpar performances in the offence have been said to be a huge reason for concern and the main factor why many believe Liverpool doesn’t have a good chance to advance. But I’ll have to disagree. Despite the fact they ended the first leg match in 0:0, this is a good result for the Reds, and I’ll tell you why. Liverpool are a strong team that has had exceptional defence both at home as well as in away games, which will be a big advantage in preventing Bayern score a goal.  Additionally, if Liverpool manages to score only once in Germany, Bayern Munich will have to score twice to advance. Taking that into consideration, the Liverpool chances of advancing do not look as bad as some may say. Of course, we cannot ignore Liverpool’s poor away record in Europe this season. Looking back at the group stages, Liverpool lost all 3 road matches, against Napoli (0:1), Crvena Zvezda (2:0) and PSG (2:1). Despite that, Liverpool defence has improved since then, which is especially true with the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Bayern Munich will come into this fixture without Robben and Tolisso. Additionally, Alaba and Coman are both listed as doubtful. Liverpool on the other side will remain without Gomez and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Liverpool will by no means have an easy time at Allianz arena, but because that the first leg ended in 0:0, this gives Liverpool a great opportunity to utilize their advantage and try to score early. On the other side, Bayern Munich are not surprisingly considered the favourites to win, but I do not expect them to have an easy time scoring against Liverpool solid defence. While there is still a question of who among Liverpool players will manage to produce goals, we have seen good performances from Mane, who scored in 6 out of his last 9 games and Firmino who has performed well against Burnley on Sunday. All in all, I believe Liverpool will manage to advance here. A goal in the opening minutes would put them in an exceptional position against Bayern, who will have to go through Liverpool’s defence, which has been coached by Klopp, who has accumulated a lot of knowledge about German teams during his time ad Borussia.
