Bayern M. - Barcelona

Bayern Munich – Barcelona

Is the returning match for quarter finals in UCL. The first game in Spain a week ago finished 4-0 for the Catalans. So the task for the Germans is very tough and their trip to European title, probably reach to the end. This German team, that captured the Bundesliga crown last year, almost collapsed in Spain. Their attacking approach of the game and their scoring ability simply disappeared in that evening. The gap between the two teams was bigger than the final score shows.

It is very difficult the things go round for the Germans tonight, six days only after their crashed night. They have some important returning in the defense, such as Lucio and Lahm, but the problem is they have to have the possession of the ball. And this is the weak part of their game. The midfielders are overage and they couldnʼt create dangerous situation in the opposite defense, when weʽre talk about Barcelona. Also in front they need one more attacking player, alongside to Toni. But if they use one more striker, the already fragile midfield line will be a toy in the hands of Spaniards.

Coach Klinnsman told in the media that want to win to restore the confidence of his team. He promise to play attacking football and chase the best result.

Barcelona is aware about this contest. They know that if they are not in good shape and they have not the fighting spirit, maybe they have troubles. Their quality and performances throughout the year, is the fact that makes me to believe that they will be the team to qualify from this fight.

Some other facts are Barcelona scored at least one goal always this season. So I think they score tonight again. Bayern scored easily at home. The prices on over 2,5 goals are in the range of 1,60 to 1,70.

This is my pick for tonight.



And this is for good luck.
