Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich – 28/9 Betting Tips Champions League
Top Two in Group D Face Off
LEAGUE: Champions League
GAME: Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
LOCATION: Estadio Vicente Calderon
DATE: Wednesday 28/9
TIME: 20:45
There have been two matches played between the teams in European competition, with Atletico Madrid winning once and Bayern Munich also winning once.
Both Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich made winning starts to their Champions League season on match day one. Atletico Madrid had the tougher of the two fixtures, travelling to Holland to take on a PSV team, who were undefeated in their last 6 home Champions League games. However, in typical Atletico Madrid style, Diego Simeone’s team came away with a 1-0 victory, thanks to Saul Niguez and this puts them in a great position in Group D.
Bayern Munich began their campaign with possibly the easiest fixture they will have in the group, defeating Champions League newcomers, Rostov, 5-0 in the Allianz Arena. You get the feeling Carlo Ancelotti would love nothing more than to take Bayern Munich to Champions League glory this season, having taken over from Pep Guardiola, who couldn’t bring back the famous trophy to Bavaria.

Goals at a Premium
Atletico Madrid are a tough team to break down and there have been 2 goals or under scored in their last four Champions League home matches. Bayern Munich are a team who are full of goals but even they have struggled against Atletico Madrid in the past and this game could see a limited number of goals.
Game Tip: Under 2.5 Goals is 1.61 at 888sport
Solid at the Back
One thing which has been consistent in Atletico Madrid’s recent Champions League wins at the Vicente Calderon, has been their ability to keep a clean sheet. They have not conceded a goal in their last five Champions League home games and even Bayern, with their attacking talent, could not score against them last season.
