Don't miss the fierce battle
Real Madrid are in very stable form. However, Bayern Munich still have a chance to win at home at Allianz Arena (1:45 a.m. April 13).
Real's luggage when visiting Bayern Munich is a series of 52 consecutive matches scoring on all fronts.
Besides, the Spanish Royal team also won 3 out of the last 6 matches when visiting Bundesliga representatives.

Bayern ready to fight Real Madrid |
That gives Real confidence, before the decisive match at Allianz Arena, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, it is not easy for Real to return home intact, as coach Carlo Ancelotti knows them too well, as well as Zinedine Zidane.
Furthermore, Real Madrid came to the Allianz Arena without Varane and Pepe. This absence significantly reduced the defensive strength of the Vultures.
Zidane will most likely be forced to use Nacho as a central defender partner with Sergio Ramos. When replacing the injured Pepe in the Madrid derby, it was Nacho who made a mistake that allowed Griezmann to score for Atletico.
In addition, Real's problem also lies in the ineffectiveness of Gareth Bale and Ronaldo.

Coach Ancelotti will have his first battle of wits with his former student Zidane |
Bale hasn't scored in a month and a half. Ronaldo has been silent in the last 6 Champions League matches.
On the contrary, coach Ancelotti has the best players to prepare for the match.
Bayern's spirits were high as they beat Dortmund 4-1 in the German football Clasico a few days ago.
Lewandowski scored 2 goals in that match. The Polish striker is ready to challenge Real's defense with excellent form, with 16 goals in the last 13 matches.
A victory to create psychological momentum for the second leg is entirely possible for Bayern.
Expected lineup Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1):Neuer - Lahm, Javi Martinez, Boateng, Alaba - Alonso, Vidal - Robben, Thiago, Ribery - Lewandowski. Real Madrid (4-3-3):Keylor Navas - Carvajal, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo - Modric, Casemiro, Kroos - Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo. |
