BETTING PREVIEW
Bayern Munich only just played Borussia Dortmund a few games ago, and that ended 1-1, with the goals coming early, in the 1st half.
As you know, these are the top 2 teams in German football. Borussia Dortmund won the title 2 straight years before Bayern stormed back to win the Bundesliga in style this season. Both are previous winners of this tournament - Dortmund in '97 and Bayern in '01.
Of course, it is Bayern that have been here, to the finals, a lot more, always ending in heartbreak. They were beaten by Inter Milan a few years ago and then of course suffered that gutting loss to Chelsea last year, in their own stadium no less.
It's no mystery where they have found the motivation to thump most of the opponents they have met this year, winning 50 of 56 games, including a most convincing 2 legged walloping of Barcelona you are likely to see.
The goals should come here, as I don't think these 2 will try and defend first. Neither is at home, as the game is being played at Wembley, so neither have home advantage. It's an away game for both and they will go out to get the goals just as they normally do. And both sides can score in bucketloads. The last time these 2 met on neutral ground there were 7 goals scored with Dortmund winning 5-2!
Gotze might be missing this match, but Dortmund still have Lewandowski, who with 10 goals is the 2nd highest Champions League scorer, behind Ronaldo. His team have kept just 3 clean sheets in their last 12 european games, so it's vital they look for goals and not try to win a defensive game.
Remember, Bayern are 1 game away from making up for last years loss in the most perfect way possible. From having their hearts broken by a London club to winning in London to complete what would be the first ever treble by a German club.
THE BETTING VERDICT
I have a feeling both sides will come flying out the traps, and that goals will follow. Let's bet on there being at least 2 before HT.
The Pick :
Borussia Dortmund 2-4 Bayern Munich
