Lazio/Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich ML (-145)

Was debating backing Bayern all morning and eventually just puled the trigger because the price was too good to pass up on. We all know about Bayerns struggles with injuries and most recently the embarrassing loss to Leverkusen over the weekend, but even with all that going on they are still a world class team.

Bayern’s ranks in the Bundesliga this season are 2nd in goal differential, 1st in goals scored, 2nd in assists, and 2nd in goals conceded. They also have 7 wins in their L10 matches in all competitions and 24 wins in 32 matches dating back to August 2nd.

Next, I want to touch on the Champions League group stage, where they had 5 wins in 6 games conceding just 6 goals and scoring 12 with a goal differential of +6. Despite their up and down form in the Bundesliga, Bayern has been rock solid in the Champions League and the number of -145 even on the road is too good for me to pass up on.

For reference Bayern was -215 against Man United, -470 against Copenhagen, -210 against Galatasaray, -600 against Galatasaray, -500 against Copenhagen, and -110 against Man United. I know the knockout round presents much more of a challenge but to get Bayern sub -150 when they were an average of -350 in the group stage feels like excellent value in my eyes. GL.
