The Scout: Champions League Quarterfinals

Bayern Munich vs Villareal

Villareal scored an upset 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the first leg but still have a monumental task in front of them if they are to advance to the semi-finals. Bayern dominated much of the match and were unlucky not to leave Spain with at least a draw, registering 10 more shots at goal than their opponent.

Bayern Munich have been exceptional at home this season in the Champions League, going undefeated while scoring a massive 20 goals in just four matches. I think we see the German outfit flex their muscle here in the return leg.

Suggested Bet: Bayern Munich Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.88*


Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Real Madrid come into this match with a significant advantage after travelling to London and decimating Chelsea 3-1. The Spanish giants are now in the most commanding of positions and have a terrific record at home.

Real have already bested a heavily stacked PSG team this tournament, and across all competitions have only been defeated twice at home. Their spearhead Karim Benzema is in the form of his life coming off a hat-trick in the opening leg.

Suggested Bet: Real Madrid to Win @ $2.45*


Liverpool vs Benfica

Liverpool travelled to Portugal in the opening leg and put on a clinic, coming away with a comfortable 3-1 victory. We now head back to Anfield where the Reds have lost just once in 24 matches across all competitions.

Anfield has become a fortress for Liverpool and it’s hard to make a case for Benfica finding a way to win, or even score. Liverpool come into this match following a 2-2 draw with Manchester City, with Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah all in great form.

Suggested Bet: Liverpool Win to Nil @ $2.44*


Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City

Manchester City held their ground with a 1-0 win in the opening leg which means Atletico Madrid must break away from their defensive strategy to find a way to score goals to remain in the tournament.

Pep Guardiola’s men got the job done in Manchester and now their aim on the road is simple, score a goal and defend. Unfortunately for Atletico Madrid, City have one of the most potent offensive line-ups in Europe with Kevin De Bruyne orchestrating all attacks and in a serious vein of form.

Suggested Bet: Manchester City to Win @ $1.76*

*Odds correct as at 6pm, 11th April 2022.
