Champions League preview – Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid prediction. 

Thomas Muller was overlooked for the Champions League semi-final first leg but could be reinstated after scoring for Bayern Munich in the league on Saturday. Central defender Jerome Boateng returned from injury to feature for an hour and is a possible starter on Tuesday. Franck Ribery has been nursing a back problem and is doubtful while Arjen Robben and Holger Badstuber remain sidelined.

Central defender Diego Godin didn’t make the bench for Atletico on Saturday despite his return to training last week. It suggests his absence due to a hamstring injury may be extended with Stefan Savic continuing to partner Jose Gimenez at the back. Diego Simeone rested half of last Wednesday’s side for the game against Rayo and Antoine Griezmann, Fernando Torres, Koke, Saul and Filipe Luis are all expected to return to the starting line up.

Possible Line-ups

Bayern Munich 4-1-4-1 formation: Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Benatia, Alaba; Alonso; Muller, Alcantara, Vidal, Costa; Lewandowski

Atletico Madrid 4-4-2 formation: Oblak; Juanfran, Gimenez, Savic, Luis; Saul, Gabi, Fernandez, Koke; Torres Griezmann

Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Bayern missed the opportunity to seal the Bundesliga title when drawing 1-1 with Monchengladbach at the weekend and the pressure is on Pep Guardiola’s side to pull out a big performance against Atletico who they trail 1-0 after the first leg in Madrid last week. Bayern are unbeaten at home in the Champions League for two years, not since losing 4-0 against Real Madrid in April 2014. They have won all five home games in the competition this season although it took extra time to overcome Juventus in the round of 16 after finishing 2-2 in regular time. Atletico have won their last six competitive matches without conceding and an away goal here could prove decisive. They have the meanest defence in Spain by some margin and have only conceded three away goals so far in this Champions League campaign. A repeat of their 2-1 defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou in the previous round would be enough to see them progress to the final on the away goals rule. Bayern need to improve on their delivery in the first leg but with 19 home goals in this season’s competition, they have the potential to progress.
