Preview: Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid prediction, odds, where to watch, time | UEFA Champions League 2025-26 quarter-final second leg
Two of the last five outings between these clubs have ended in favour of the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich are all set to host Real Madrid for their second leg quarterfinal fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This is going to be an entertaining outing, taking place at the Allianz Arena.
The Vincent Kompany-led side continue to perform well. After taking down Los Blancos at the Bernabeu, they secured a 5-0 win against FC Saint Pauli. It was a top performance by the Bavarians. However, their job against the Spanish giants is not quite done.
Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 win in the away leg of their UCL quarterfinal. They only have a one-goal advantage going into their next game. Even though they will be at home, it is not going to be an easy outing for the German giants.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s men are going to be under pressure here. After facing back-to-back defeats, they were only able to secure a draw against Girona in their last LaLiga fixture. The squad did not look very well organised, and it can become a problem for them in the upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture.
Real Madrid surely have capable players in the squad, but the upcoming battle against in-form Bayern is going to be a tough one for them. They are down by a goal at the moment. Los Blancos must put in all their efforts if they want to stay alive in the European competition.

Players to Watch
Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)
Despite failing to score a goal in the previous leg against Los Blancos, Michael Olise played a crucial part in the final third for Bayern Munich. He was one of the goal scorers for his side in the previous league outing and will yet again be gearing up to help his side from the right. With the ball at his feet, the 24-year-old will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
Federico Valverde (Real Madrid)
Federico Valverde was the sole goal scorer for Real Madrid in their previous fixture. It was not enough for them to secure a win, and they only managed a draw. The 27-year-old has been an important aspect of the squad both in the midfield and the attacking front.
He will be looking to come up with a top performance to help his side.
