It’s the clash of the titans on Tuesday 11 April when Manchester City go head to head with Bayern Munich in what is sure to be an intriguing affair. There aren’t many occasions throughout the season where you can back Pep Guardiola’s side at nearly even money to claim a home victory, although the bookmakers are prepared to offer an eye-catching price on account of whom they are facing.
This is a tricky assignment for a City team who are chasing three trophies right now although they are playing catch-up with Arsenal as far as the Premier League title is concerned. They won’t just want the FA Cup to show for their efforts this season, with the Champions League betting sites making the English side favourites to get the better of their opponents over two games.
Bayern Munich were recently dealt a blow when losing 2-1 away at Bayer Leverkusen and they are also in a battle to retain their domestic title. The Bavarian side actually trail Borussia Dortmund by a single point in the standings and Julian Nagelsmann will now prepare a tactical approach to deal with difficult opponents in this tie.
However, there is the fact that Bayern enjoyed a 3-0 aggregate win over Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round which suggests that the 2020 champions could be the ones to make headway, with Joao Cancelo coming face to face with his former club quickly after leaving Manchester City. With Sadio Mane back in the fold, it promises to be quite a clash.
