It won’t be easy to get over the disappointment of two very heavy defeats in the Champions League. Neither on one side nor the other. Of course, Bayern Munich, who “only” lost 2-1 to Inter at home, still have a chance of reaching the semifinals. Against Barcelona, on the other hand, overturning the 4-0 defeat in Spain will be a difficult, if not impossible, undertaking for Borussia.
Twenty-seven points separate the two teams in the standings, with the distinct feeling that next year the Gialloneri will not be in the Champions League. The European zone, the big one, is five points away, so it’s possible, but on Saturday night the gap could even be bigger. Yes, because Bayern Munich – who are leading the table ahead of Bayer Leverkusen with a 6-point lead – know very well that Xabi Alonso’s team won’t let go until the end of the season. So there will be little turnover, also because many players are out with injuries, and they’ll be thinking, and thinking only, about this match that could be the last real obstacle to celebrating the championship again after last year’s blunder, when Bayer managed to win the title.
The best attack in the league against a defense that has conceded 43 goals in 28 games. Let’s say that the numbers also indicate a match that is headed towards the home team who, as usual, will concede something at the back. So below, our prediction is almost a foregone conclusion.

The prediction
Bayern Munich’s victory cannot be in doubt, just as we don’t think there’s any question that Borussia – given the gifts from the Bavarian defense – can find their way to score during the match. So, consequently, we’re expecting a match with at least three goals overall and one goal per team. With a win for Kompany.
