Final Betting Analysis: Bayern Munich at Villareal
Home pitch always means something, but in this case, it means Bayern is going off at overlay odds. The Bundesliga power can turn it on at a moment’s notice.
Not only that, but Bayern beat a team close to Villareal’s level in their last and their top scorer didn’t even knock in a goal. Robert Lewandowski didn’t score in Bayern’s 4-1 win over Freiburg.
Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry, Marcel Sabitzer, in minute 95, and Kingsley Coman, in minute 82, scored the 4 goals. When Bayern can dominate one of their Bundesliga rivals without Lewandowski scoring, Munich is in great form.
Villareal is a tough squad, but Bayern is much better. Don’t be surprised if Munich wins this by more than a goal. The moneyline odds insist the home team has a shot. Bayern is an overlay at the odds. BM easily handles their rivals in the quarterfinals’ first leg.
