I don't watch a ton of non-World Cup/European Championship soccer unless I'm betting, but I'll watch this. Should be some glorious offensive football with all the talent on the pitch. (Look at me learning the terminology.) But there were only 3 goals in the first leg and 3 is what our model has here. It gives Under 4.5 a rare A grade. I'm only going a half-unit because I'd enjoy as a fan seeing something like 5-4 and it may well happen, but I'm told it's hard to score in soccer. Like Halpert in "The Office," I last played the sport seriously from second to fourth grade on the orange team.
Bayern took a 2-1 win in Madrid in the first leg, but that scoreline could've been bigger.They were dominant, generating 2.92 xG away from home and consistently creating high-quality chances. If the second leg against Atalanta showed us anything, it’s that Vincent Kompany has no intention of sitting back and defending a lead. Bayern will stay on the front foot. I expect them to win again here and make a clear statement as the best team in Europe.
The most historic club in Champions League history, are sitting down 2-1 in aggregate scoring as they travel to Munich to play the best attacking team in the entire world. This match is going to be amazing. This is the match that I would tell non-soccer fans that they have to watch. The pitch will be loaded with incredible attacking talent on both ends of the pitch. Players like Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, Vini Jr., Luis Diaz and more will be out in full display. I predict the over 3.5 to hit, as well as the over 4.5 goals.
