Match preview<\/p>\n

Bayern extended their winning streak to 15 games across all competitions after claiming a 5-0 victory at St. Pauli in the Bundesliga<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They rested several key players in the clash, keeping an eye on Wednesday\u2019s showdown with Madrid.<\/p>\n

Bayern were the better side in the first leg, but were not clinical. They became complacent in the second half, allowing Madrid to keep themselves in the tie.<\/p>\n

Michael Olise, who has the most assists (six) in the competition, impressed, giving Alvaro Carreras a tough game.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman is expected to be vital here too, with Bayern likely to attack predominantly from the right side, given Madrid\u2019s vulnerability at left-back.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Bayern need to be wary of their high defensive line, considering Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior\u2019s pace. Stopping Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s long-range passes would also be vital.<\/p>\n

Madrid head into this clash off the back of a 1-1 home draw with Girona in La Liga<\/a>, leaving them nine points behind leaders Barcelona<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They now have a slight chance of winning the league, with seven game remaining, making Wednesday\u2019s encounter more important.<\/p>\n

The Los Blancos could take inspiration from their brilliant recent record at Bayern where they have won three and drawn one of their last four visits.<\/p>\n

However, Madrid need a significantly improved performance at both ends to edge the German giants.<\/p>\n

They need to be more prolific to get the better of legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who was outstanding last time out, while ensuring their full-backs are not isolated against Olise and Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n

Team news<\/p>\n

Bayern will be without teenager Lennart Karl and goalkeeper Sven Ulreich due to injury.<\/p>\n

For Madrid, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo are injured, while Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended.<\/p>\n

Predicted line-ups<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer, Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Konrad Laimer, Luis Diaz, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid (4-4-2): Andriy Lunin, Alvaro Carreras, Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rudiger, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Arder Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n

Prediction<\/p>\n

We predict a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n
