Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich for UEFA Champions League

Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
When: Tuesday, December 12, 9 pm CET

The Red Devils are in a terrible situation, and to keep their chances of reaching the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, they will need three points against Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, the German champs secured the top spot in Group A, but we are pretty sure they won’t give up on this match, as they have some unfinished business with United, dating way back in the past.

Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich Preview

Manchester United

So United has four points in five games, one fewer than both Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen. They need three points here and then to hope to see a tie in Denmark. In general, the United had a catastrophic UCL campaign, and only a miracle can help them now.

The much-needed boost of morale came last Wednesday when they defeated Chelsea in the Premiership, 2-1. It was a breath of fresh air for Erik Ten Hag and his crew after losing to Newcastle on the road and playing 3-3 in Istanbul.

United’s problems are highly inconsistent performance in the midfield, where they often lose battles to physically superior teams. We’ve seen them lose to Newcastle and City at Trafford precisely because of that, meaning there will also be plenty of problems against Bayern.

Bayern Munich

The Bavarians ended their UCL group stage a long ago, and with 13 points, sit confidently in first place, preparing for other domestic challenges and waiting for a draw.

After losing to Saarbrucken in the German Cup, Tuchel’s crew managed to record four victories in a row before playing without goals against FC Copenhagen at home some two weeks ago. Let us remind you that Bayern had a pause due to the cancelation of their matchup against Union due to snow.

When it comes to road games this year, only one in the previous 10 they had ended with under 2.5 goals, and apart from that loss versus Saarbrucken, Bayern is without a defeat throughout all the competitions.
