Bayern Munich – Atletico Madrid | 21/10/2020

Bayern Munich begin the defence of their Champions League trophy with a showdown against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening. The visitors make the trip to the Allianz Arena looking to avoid a second successive defeat to Bundesliga opposition after losing to RB Leipzig in last season’s quarter-finals

Aiming to win successive European honours for the first time since 1974/76, Bayern Munich begin their UEFA Champions League (UCL) defence with an average winning margin of 3.18 across 11 successive UCL wins. Meanwhile, a majority (four) of their last seven UCL victories have seen them open the scoring inside the first 15 minutes.

Encouragingly for Bayern, reigning holders of the day have won their first UCL home matchday in each of the last seven seasons, winning by an odd-numbered margin on six occasions. Over in the Bundesliga, meanwhile, Bayern have seen a majority (five) of their last nine home league wins produce over 2.5 total second-half goals.

If counting only the regulation 90 minutes in their extra-time win at Anfield in March, Atlético Madrid have in fact lost five of their last seven European away clashes – that excludes UCL results on neutral turf. All five of those 90-minute defeats saw them lose the first half 1-0, conceding the goal responsible for that within the 31st minute-HT period on four occasions.

With Atlético scoring a 64% majority of their La Liga (LL) away goals after HT since the start of 2019/20, the expectation of better action in the second-half is further underlined here. Furthermore, only three of their last 21 LL away matches have witnessed over 1.5 goals before HT
