Good previous performance from?  They're no doubts a top side also in the Champions League Competition but they haven't been so good this season.
They did for well during the group stage only struggled against Copenhagen, went nut and found themselves against Lazio during the second leg played at home.

As for tonight, too many expectations leads to disappointment and I'm not ready for theta tonight. As much as I want to see Real Madrid win, I'm open minded because Thomas Tuchel one time with Chelsea won Real Madrid, I don't know if he would be able to do so tonight again with Bayern Munich.
Most games are decided on the pitch,  I don't believe too much on whatever the bookmakers have done or got.

I take I'd for both sides to score tonight. Top players in this game amd Potential Ballon d'or winners. We shall see.

I will be too, but you know one has to thread carefully when it comes to predictions in this kind of match situation, this is Champions League we are talking about, if for instance Rudiger mistakenly kick someone on the leg while defending, there is no way they wouldn't have a red card and that with such situation, there is no way that Bayern will not win that match and they wouldn't just win the match, they will want to have more goals so as to hedge for the second leg.

Bayern will also host Real Madrid in their home and that means, everything will surely comes to favour Bayern Munich but if they don't focus on defending, they will likely concede way goals like Real Madrid did when they faced Manchester City, such tacticts is what they used to win matches of this kinds, so they need to be extra careful.

This is a very important day for real Madrid and not mostly for Bayern, in my prediction they both have good champions league experience and real Madrid have experienced more than Bayern so there is a good chance that Madrid will claim the win, Madrid have been waiting for this period for a long time and even gave up the la Liga just because they wanted to win the Champions League. But this period they want to win the two trophies so when they play they won't be letting there guard down and bayern should expect a good play from real Madrid compared to what they played against ArMadrid.

Madrid won't play weak the way arsenal did. So at this point that real Madrid have gotten to they won't take any chance so expect the best from madrid.

what you called a mind game made them to struggle against real sociedad and only managed to score a single goal to thier advantage. Even though they played with there second squared, it would have still make more sense if they had used part of thier first squared on the match as a way to build up a strong mentality that will guide them into this game. It would be interesting to watch these two England players, Hary Kane and Jude Bellingham on the opposite side of the divide playing similar role as the front men in both real Madrid and Bayern munich with Jude making Those incredible runs from the midfield and harry Kane who has a lot of responsibility on his shoulder after having an incredible game in the bundesliga with 35 goals, a lot of the bayern fans will be eagerly hoping on him to deliver them in this all important encounter.

Winning at home can also win away. What if with a scenario like this for Bayern Munich, is it possible?

Real Madrid is too strong for Bayern Munich in the Champions League. This sentence is recognized by many observers for the achievements they have made in the league and in different competitions. For me no. This means there is a chance of winning at home, but I think Bayern Munich can also win at Santiago Bernabeu. I consider that this season's Champions League does not belong to Real Madrid based on the existing semifinal schedule.
I actually had the thought that Bayern Munich would enter the final against PSG.
Real Madrid players are not that great compared to Bayern Munich's squad.

All of this is just my personal view which does not come from anywhere so there is a big chance that all of this is wrong.

Another day and surely another super and mighty night of Champions League and of Real Madrid doing some black magic in this tournament.

I dont think this Bayern stand a chance against Real Madrid, maybe in his home game can do anything but for me Real Madrid is already in the final of the tournament without doubt.

This is the squad list that Ancelotti will bring when he visits Bayern Munich's headquarters later and it appears that several players who have been absent for a long time will also be present in this match. We can see that there is Courtois, there is also Alaba on the squad list and it is possible that both of them will play in this match later. As for Militao, he has played several previous matches and of course if needed he will be ready to strengthen the defense.

Apart from all that, we know that Arda Guler, who scored the decisive goal in yesterday's domestic league match, will be a surprising weapon for the Bayern Munich squad, especially since they certainly don't know the characteristics of this player. Apart from that, it is possible that Tchouameni will still start in defense with Rudiger because it is still very risky if he has to use Nacho. Well, let's just wait for the complete formation and line up an hour before kick off and can't wait to watch the Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid match.

Why do some of you assume the striker Harry Kane is cursed. Can you tell Who did cursed him?  I only count him among other many legendary players in football history that played so greatly but didn't won a significant trophy in all their career, but hopefully since Kane still has more years to play he could win a trophy to his profile and prove some haters wrong.

I admit, Bayern Müchen have got to secure a win in their home at all cost against Madrid because if they loss it at home they won't be having the liberty of securing such win they probably didn't get at their home in an away game at the  Santiago Bernabéu. At Allianz Arena they have the support of their fans in full capacity to spur them up it's all a home advantage so winning at home becomes imperative so they could struggle for a draw in the second leg away at Madrid ground. It's gonna be a tough match though but I hope Bayern Münich come out victorious anyway.

I don't underestimate Bayern Munich because they have had good previous performance and are known as a strong team too, but I think when they face Real Madrid this is a tough match for them, with Real Madrid currently skyrocketing because they are strong team too. I doubt that Bayen Munich can beat Real Madrid, but even though Real Madrid are known for their good performance, that doesn't mean they can't be beaten. Maybe in the future there will be a team that can beat them, including Bayern Munich.

I personally wouldn't bet on this match, but I would watch it to get a feel for the excitement. and maybe this is quite a big match because with the good background of each of these teams, Ancelotti has certainly prepared his best strategy and so has Bayern Munich.

Yes, that's how it is, we agree that the final result of the match will be known when the two teams meet in the Champions League semi-final duel today. So far Madrid has had a good performance, the reason why many people favor them is a natural thing if we refer to the performance statistics of the two teams. However, that doesn't mean Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich easily. If I look at the predicted patterns of these two teams, both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will use the system that they usually rely on.

IMO, it is possible that this match will be tough. Indeed, there are many who support Madrid in this match, especially since several Bayern players are certain to be absent due to injury. However, because this match is crucial, Thomas Tuchel does not have many choices and he will use his energy so that his team's squad performs well. plus the only Champions League trophy is currently close to them, Thomas Tuchel has no choice but to focus on this game as another potential trophy is now out of reach. which means, Bayern Munich will not waste the opportunity to play at the Allianz Arena, home of The Bavarians. Even though it seems difficult to overthrow Real Madrid, Thomas Tuchel's squad must do their job in this match. Likewise with Ancelotti, he doesn't want his squad to be defeated by Bayern Munich in this away match. Moreover, Carvahal was absent from this match. However, this did not make Madrid helpless. Don Carlo has prepared his tactics and strategy, as has Thomas Tuchel. both teams almost have the same odds, Bayern with @2.32 and while Madrid @2.95. The probability of ending in a draw is quite large with odds @3.70. my estimation for this match, the Over option is quite ideal or taking the risk of choosing Bayern Munich. So, to find out the final result of the battle between these two teams. There are no other words, we look forward to the match being held soon.

This particular Bayern Munich team don't have that much tenacity in the allianz arena especially to an opponent like Real Madrid, for a team that is fiercely hungry for victory like Real Madrid for Bayern to use that home advantage factor against. At this stage of the competition, Real Madrid have players that are so experienced in their team, who understands the psychology of the champions League at this stage, though Bayern have some few experience players but not to be compared with Madrid.

If not for the understanding of the game the Madrid team have in the champions League, they would have lost to Manchester City, and I believe the Bayern Munich team wouldn't have stand a chance against a Manchester City team if they had met in the quarter finals.

Yeah, your right on this one. The only hope they have is to win in their home because playing away next game is not just going to be difficult, but it would be bloody. Real Madrid doesn't joke when they are playing in the semifinals especially when they are at home advantage. Surely, they will do anything to win against any team with so many goals. I don't want to be so sure to pick a side on which of these two teams would win their first semifinals game. Am only interested to see their both performances and i wish the team with the best performance should win in the semifinals. At least in that case it is worth deserving not out of luck.

I don't think this match will end in a draw. Because as you said, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich have very strong preparation and determination to achieve victory. Moreover, for Bayern Munich, this first leg match will be held at their headquarters. That way, Bayern Munich will definitely fight hard to win this match. Because playing at home will certainly be more profitable in every way than playing at your opponent's home ground. So Bayern Munich will definitely take advantage of this situation to be able to win and be ahead on aggregate as much as possible.

But Real Madrid will definitely not let that happen. Real Madrid will certainly not feel doubtful or afraid just because they are playing at their opponent's headquarters. A big example was when Real Madrid faced Manchester City in the quarter-finals. In home and away matches, Real Madrid always plays very well. So in this match Real Madrid will certainly play very well even though the match will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters. So, it is very likely that the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will not end in a draw.
However, in this match, I personally predict that Real Madrid will definitely beat Bayern Munich. Because in my opinion Real Madrid's performance is far superior to Bayern Munich.

Bayern München must win their home game if they want to reach the final. They are unlikely to win away. Whatever they have to do, they have to do it in this game. There's a big opportunity for Harry Kane. He didn't win the German League, but if he wins the Champions League, it would be incredible and it would lift the curse he has on him.
At Real Madrid, Ancelotti has done his mind games again. They made a serious rotation in the last game and saved the main players for this one. The players are fresh, the game will be a very high level of competition. It's very difficult to predict a side. I will not bet on this match, I will just watch and enjoy it.

Bayern only lost by a narrow margin on aggregate to Lazio in the second leg of Round 16 and it was not something to feel worry and bayern has been performing even better after that game. It annihilated Lazio in the first leg with massive scores and why don't you mention the result from the first leg too? . Based on the result against Lazio, I'm not sure if Bayern was even worst than it. Madrid is a little different compared to other club and it's not even comparable to Lazio, which is very weak in comparison to Real Madrid.
I'm confident that this momentum will force Real Madrid to go all in considering that UCL is the highest tier of european football competition. Bayern must have prepared thoroughly in order to achieve a good result in the first leg. Winning by such large margins against Madrid will be extremely beneficial to Bayern's chances of reaching the final.

Beating Real Madrid in the first leg is essential because this is a home game for Bayern Munich and as long as bayern can use that momentum, it will have easy way to go to the semi final. That must be Bayern's golden opportunity to lead the game. I believe Tuchel is learning a lot from what he did while at Chelsea, bayern munich must be playing passively against real madrid. given the fact that if real madrid's attackers were quite lazy in helping their defenders to defend and it can give bayern opportunity
He destroyed Real Madrid at that time, and they must do the same thing again soon probably use the same strategy as when tchel was on chelsea.

Bayern did lose to Lazio, but at that time Bayern lost 1 player due to a red card and Lazio used it well so they were able to score 1 goal. but in the second meeting, Lazio lost to Bayern very badly. But I'm not interested in betting on either of these teams winning. Because it's still difficult for me to predict who will win the first leg today. But what is clear is that I am sure both teams will score goals. But if Real Madrid wins this first leg then it will be the end for Bayern. Because in the second leg at home to Real Madrid things will be more difficult for Bayern.
Tuchel will fight to prove he is a great coach. Because it would be very good for Tuchel if he made a good record before leaving at the end of the season.

I will be very surprised if Tuchel wins this match because they lost against Lazio and Real Madrid, as you know, is a much stronger team than Lazio. They have named their most important players and they are fully ready for the match. I give them more chances to win. I think they are good enough to beat Bayern, playing at the tempo of La Liga.

The Champions League match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich might appear difficult for people to predict as you have said but personally I believe it is not a difficult match to predict. I acknowledge the fact that any team that qualifies through the round 16 of the Champions League should not be underrated. Having known this I give all the teams in this stage their flowers but then Real Madrid currently is no match to Bayern Munich. Considering the quality of players, the squad depth and also the ability of the coaches of the two teams you will understand that Real Madrid is ahead in every aspect. If Mikel Arteta and his boys we are very much committed they would have exited Tuchel and his boys. The major problem of the Arsenal boys was that they don't have the fighting Spirit of the Champions League. They played as if they were playing the every weekend English Premier League matches and the result didn't surprise me. A little more effort and determination would have taken them to the next round.

Agree! moreover their recent stats between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich tell the same story. In the last 5 matches, there's been 1 draw and 4 wins for Madrid. Madrid triumphed in all 3 games at Allianz Arena. Real Madrid aims to continue their winning streak. A victory against Bayern Munich tonight would be a strong start to the Champions League. Additionally, Madrid appears more threatening than Bayern this time after summarizing their league performance. So, it's possible that Real Madrid will once again defeat Bayern at their home ground.

@ndutndut, it is not impossible that Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid in this match as both teams are known to have reached this stage of the champions league competition many times which mean non is lacking of experience but present form Madrid has higher chances of winning the match of which Bayern Munich can only try in obstructing that from happening because from the look of things the pressure will be on Bayern Munich tonight despite playing as a home team. There is nothing spectacular about Bayern Munich this season and I don't also expect any surprises from them seeing how poorly they played against Arsenal it was all by luck of experience that they got to this stage, and unfortunately for them Real Madrid have same experience in this competition so far.
