Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Preview – 27/04/16
Champions League preview – Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich prediction.
Atletico could line up with same eleven that started against Malaga on Saturday. Jose Gimenez played the full 90 minutes on his return following a one-month absence and is set to partner Lucas Hernandez in the centre of defence with Diego Godin out of action. Fernando Torres missed the second leg of the quarter-final against Barcelona through suspension but returns alongside Antoine Griezmann in attack. Yannick Carrasco is expected to start on the bench while Thiago and Oliver Torres remain sidelined.
Pep Guardiola made seven changes on Saturday when Bayern Munich beat Hertha Berlin 2-0. Philipp Lahm, David Alaba, Javi Martinez and Juan Bernat are expected to return to the back four with Franck Ribery and Douglas Costa coming in on the flanks. Kingsley Coman would be an option on the right if he can recover from a thigh problem while Arjen Robben, Jerome Boateng and Holger Badstuber have been ruled out.
