Borussia Dortmund are waiting for the winner in the final after their 4-3 aggregate win over Real Madrid and after a stunning performance in the first leg, Bayern are the massive favourites to lock horns with their Bundesliga rivals at Wembley next month.
The Germans currently lead 4-0 and come to the Nou Camp in excellent spirits as they have a comfortable lead and have won their last ten matches across all competitions.
Jupp Heynckes’ men need to play their natural game this evening and look to attack Barca right from the off as an away goal means that the hosts need to score six in order to progress.
After their superb display at the Allianz Arena last time out, Bayern could be decent value to win this one on the night at 16/5.
Thomas Muller scored two in the 4-0 win and should come into this clash in excellent spirits. Muller is proving to be one of the key men for the Bundesliga Champions and can be backed at 3/1 to score at anytime tonight, which might prove to be a good bet.
The tie isn’t quite over yet, but with the way they are playing and the lead they have, it is tough to look past Bayern Munich heading to the final at Wembley.
If any team can turnaround at four-goal deficit though, it is Barcelona as when they are on top of their game, there is no one better than the Catalan giants.
Lionel Messi clearly wasn’t fully-fit last week, but he seems to be in good shape coming into this one as he scored in La Liga over the weekend.
If the home side are to turn this one around, then Messi needs to put in one of his best performances for the club and he is being offered at 7/2 to score two goals or more. He did bag a brace when Barca beat Bayern 4-0 in this competition back in 2009 and something similar is needed.
The Germans are a much stronger side to the one that the club faces four-years ago, but Tito Vilanova’s current crop of players do have the quality to make Champions League history tonight.
They are the 17/20 favourites to win the match, but out at 18/1 to qualify for the final, so it is safe to say that Barca are the big underdogs.
The Nou Camp is going to be rocking for this encounter and if Vilanova’s men can get themselves a goal or two early on, fans might start believing they can turn this tie around.
With the home side certain to come out and attack right from the off, this is sure to be an entertaining 90 minutes of action. It all gets underway from 7.45pm and certainly isn’t a game that you want to be missing.
