Best Tip: Bayern to win

This is a fixture that really only looks like going one way and, unfortunately for the home team, that way is Bayern's. We predict Wednesday's visitors to RheinEnergieStadion will claim victory, and it's a view backed up by each side's respective recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from bookies too. They've made an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely outcome, and give a best price of 1.30.
