Liverpool vs Bayern Munich Predictions

For the first time in quite a while, Bayern Munich are somewhat labouring domestically and are currently behind leaders Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga despite playing more matches. By contrast, Liverpool have been at the summit of the Premier League for a number of months and arguably have momentum in their favour ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League fixture. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Bayern are no longer the side they once were and recent results have somewhat supported the notion that they’re in desperate need of freshening up their ageing squad.

We know that Liverpool will look to attack with pace in both legs and they’ve certainly got the players to trouble a defence that has averaged conceding more than a goal per game in Germany this season. Both teams have goals in them – of that there is no doubt – but I think the home side could come out the blocks quickly and build up a lead ahead of the return fixture. They’re almost 2/1 to win the game with three goals or more being scored, and for the life of me I can’t see why that price is so lengthy so it goes in as the first Liverpool vs Bayern Munich prediction.

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich Anytime Goalscorer Prediction

For a second successive season, Mo Salah has once again broken the 20-goal barrier despite the fact we’re barely halfway through February. Three of the Egyptian’s strikes have come in Europe this term, and the 26-year-old will feel he has unfinished business with this competition given the way in which he bowed out of last year’s final against Real Madrid. Salah will undoubtedly be regarded as Liverpool’s primary threat at Anfield on Tuesday night but as he so often proves, that alone may not be enough to stop him. Add in the fact that the former Chelsea forward could be taking any penalties that come Liverpool’s way and you’d have to go a long way to find a more appealing 5/4 shot in the anytime goalscorer market.

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich Correct Score Prediction

There’s no doubt that Liverpool will be keen to nab a clean sheet here given the significant implications an away goal can have, although it remains to be seen just how effectively they stifle a Bayern Munich attack packed with quality. The Reds’ chances will be damaged by the omission of Virgil Van Dijk due to suspension, but their attacking players are all firing. In any case, I genuinely think we could be in for another fabled European occasion on Tuesday night and believe the hosts will have enough in their locker to see off the 2013 Champions League winners in my Liverpool vs Bayern Munich predictions. You can get 13/8 on Liverpool winning either 2-1, 3-1 or 3-0 which looks particularly appealing given these permutations account for a Bayern goal.
