Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Soccer Betting Tips

Winner with great authority on the Chelsea pitch in the first leg (0-3), Bayern Munich was undoubtedly the most impressive club in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Robert Lewandowski’s partners have shown their clear supremacy and they are obviously on a very favorable waiver to reach the quarterfinals. Already impressive during the group stage, the team had won all their matches to finish in 1st place in group B, ahead of Tottenham, Olympiakos, and Red Star Belgrade. Domestically, the Bavarians have won the title with disconcerting ease since the resumption. By winning all its meetings (9) including that at Borussia Dortmund (1-0) which secured the title to the partners of Kingsley Coman on a subtle lob from Joshua Kimmich just before the return to the locker room, Bayern Munich made a very strong impression at the approach of this meeting. Especially since the club ended its national season by winning the German Cup against Bayer Leverkusen (4-2) and thus achieve the double. To see if a month later, Bayern can still keep this pace. To prepare, the club beat OM in a friendly match last Friday (1-0).

In the league, Franck Lampard’s players have managed to keep their 4th place which ensures them a place in the competition next season.
