Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (7 April)

15 times winner of the Champions League, Real Madrid once again reached the quarter-finals, like last season. It is clear that the capital club is far from being the favorite at the heart of this double confrontation against the Germans. This was already the case against Manchester City and despite a bunch of players absent due to injury like Mbappé, the Merengue were able to win the first leg 3-0 and the return to the Etihad 1-2 and once again eliminate the SkyBlues from the Champions League. As a reminder, the Madrilenians had to go through a round-trip play-off, won against the very good Benfica team 3-1 in the two matches. In the league, Real Madrid are still chasing Barça and won a decisive match before the international break against Atlético Madrid 3-2. He returned to La Liga action on Saturday in Mallorca.

 2nd in the league phase, Bayern Munich holds the home advantage and probably the confidence following the humiliation it inflicted on Atalanta in the 1/8th final 10-2 over the 2 matches. The Bavarians only lost one small match in 2026, it was in the league against Augsburg and at home 1-2, which is rare enough to be highlighted. To talk about the Bundesliga, the Munich residents with 6 Champions League crowns are flying day after day towards a 2nd successive title. The crushing victory against Union Berlin 4-0 before the international break was followed by a trip to Freiburg last weekend with results to follow.

This is the tile for Real Madrid: its last bastion or even the most decisive element for several seasons now, Courtois will be missing due to a serious injury contracted during the warm-up against City in the 1/8 final second leg. Remember that Brazilian internationals Eder Militao (executive central defender) and Rodrygo (end of season) are injured. On the other hand, Jude Bellingham was called up during the break with the England team, when Dani Ceballos (rotation) and Ferland Mendy (potential starter) returned to training at the end of March. Author of 13 goals in the league phase, Kylian Mbappé (top scorer in C1) must show himself today to carry this team and follow in the footsteps of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. The Frenchman needs to complete a benchmark final phase in order to win his first Champions League. Obviously, the Tricolore will not be alone since the precious Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde (3 goals, 4 assists in C1) and Vinicius Jr (4 goals, 1 assist against Benfica and Manchester City) will be present to support him.

 At Bayern, starters Michael Olise (26 assists in all competitions) and Joshua Kimmich will return from suspension. Good news for Vincent Kompany who should also recover goalkeeper Neuer and the precious Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala. Secondary goalkeeper Ulreich is still absent like Kiala and Mike but Bayern will certainly find their offensive captain Harry Kane, absent last weekend in the league after being injured with the English selection. The serial scorer is the author of 10 goals in just 9 Champions League matches this season. Note the excellent offensive contribution of Luis Diaz (15 goals, 11 assists in the Bundesliga + 4 goals, 3 assists in C1), who stuck perfectly to Bayern's system.
