Thomas Tuchel is set to depart the Allianz Arena at the end of the season and it has been a pretty underwhelming campaign with Bayer Leverkusen wrestling the Bundesliga title off them and minnows Saarbrucken dumping them out of the DFB Pokal.

The Champions League is therefore their only shot at silverware but they taking down Real Madrid is a huge ask.

Bayern Munich have been pretty uninspiring at times this season anyway but they will not be helped by player absences going into this first leg.

Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman could all miss out, limiting Bayern’s options at both ends of the pitch, while the fitness of crucial midfield engine Konrad Laimer is also uncertain.

Gamechanger Jamal Musiala is another doubt and even if many of the aforementioned crop make it back in time for the first leg, it remains to be seen just how fit the team will be.

As for Los Blancos, they should be full of confidence and energy heading into this first leg.

Ancelotti made the call to field a second-string side against Real Sociedad last time out and they squeezed past the Basque club 1-0 on Friday night.

That will have given Real Madrid’s star men ample rest and Jude Bellingham is set to return after suffering from a sickness bug which is a huge boost.

Real Madrid are the bet to win the match in Bavaria but it could be tight and 2-1 is the way to go in the correct score betting.
