Bayern Munich will welcome free-scoring Real Madrid in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The German club has never lost at home to Real Madrid in the history of this competition. The trio of Arjen Robben, Frank Ribery and Mario Gomez will lead the three man attack of the home side after being on the reserve bench in their goalless draw against Mainz last weekend. Toni Kroos and Gustavo are expected to play behind Thomas Muller. Bastian Schweinsteinger is a doubt for the starting line up, but he should be good enough to be introduced into the game later on. Mario Gomez has scored 11 goals this term in his only three goals behind Lionel Messi in the race for the golden boot award..
Jose Mourinho is expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation. Karim Benzema will be backed by Angel di Maria, Mesut Ozil and C.Ronaldo. Gonzalo Higuain and Ricardo Kaka will likely feature later in the match. Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira will try and win the midfield battle against Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos. Real Madrid have played in the semi final of this competition 22 times and they have won 12 of those two-legged matches. The Galacticos will aim to get their second win in the land of the Bavarians. The last time they defeated a German team away from home was in 2001 against Bayer Leverkusen.
Our prediction: Bayern 2-4 Real Madrid
