Real Madrid hope to take another step toward increasing their record number of titles in the competition to 15 when they host Bayern Munich in the second leg of their 2023-24 UEFA Champions League semifinal tie on Wednesday. Real Madrid, who won their 14th UCL championship in 2021-22, battled Bayern to a 2-2 draw in Munich last week in the first leg of this titanic showdown. Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last seven UCL meetings with the Bavarians (5-2-0) and own a slight 12-4-11 advantage in the most-contested matchup in the history of the competition. Real Madrid have won three straight Champions League knockout-round encounters with Bayern.

Before you lock in your Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid picks or UEFA Champions League predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. In 2023 he was red-hot, going 248-234-12 for a profit of $2,593 for $100 bettors. That included an 86-59-5 record in Premier League picks for a profit of $3,463.

Eimer knows Real Madrid enter Wednesday with several other impressive unbeaten streaks, as they haven't lost in a club record-tying 11 straight Champions League matches (7-4-0) and 20 consecutive contests across all competitions (13-7-0). Vinicius Junior was the hero against Bayern in the first leg, opening the scoring in the 24th minute and knotting the game in the 83rd minute. The 23-year-old Brazilian forward is tied with six players, including teammate and compatriot Rodrygo, for fifth in the UCL with five goals and shares second place in the competition with another member of Los Blancos - English midfielder Jude Bellingham - and five others with four assists.

The expert also has taken into account that Bayern Munich are led offensively by Harry Kane, who is tied with PSG's Kylian Mbappe for first in the Champions League with eight goals. The 30-year-old English striker provided the Bavarians with a 2-1 lead against Real Madrid in the first leg when he converted in the 57th minute, giving him four tallies in his last four UCL matches. Winger Leroy Sane ended his 27-game drought across all competitions in that contest by scoring his first goal since registering a brace on Oct. 28 against Darmstadt 98 in a German Bundesliga matchup.

For Wednesday, Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich matchup and locked in his picks. We can tell you that he is leaning Over on the goal total, but he has two other best bets - including one that offers a plus-money payout - and a full breakdown of this Champions League match.
