Tip and bets
The hosts will be looking for redemption today. They didn't expect fierce resistance from Salzburg in the first leg and barely snatched a draw. Surely Bayern will be more confident at home. The Austrians, on the other hand, will try to be very careful on the defensive and sneak in a goal on a counterattack. However, the Bavarians should get a win here due to their superior quality and experience.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) to Bayern Munich
RB Salzburg are the leaders in Austria, but the level of competition in the Austrian Bundesliga is not the same as in Germany. The Red Bulls will definitely put up a fight and attempt an upset, but we believe that Bayern will not allow it. We will be backing the hosts in this fixture.
Second bet - Bayern Munich to win by 3 goals
