Manchester United vs Bayern Munich – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 12/12/2023

The UEFA Champions League reaches its final round of the group stage and many teams have already defined their qualifiers for the next stage.

Manchester United from England and Bayern Munich from Germany are part of Group A of the competition, which also includes FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

In this group, only Bayern Munich already has its situation defined, either with qualifying for the playoffs and also guaranteeing first place.

But this round is fundamental, as the second place in the playoffs in this group is still open and also the place in the Europa League, which takes third place.

Manchester United arrives under absolute pressure for the clash against the German team, as they appear in last place with 4 points and absolutely need to win this game.

The team has one less point than Copenhagen and Galatasaray, who appear in second and third place, respectively.

But in addition to beating Bayern in this match, it would depend on a draw in the other game.

But if a place in the round of 16 is difficult, the victory at least means that the team guarantees at least a place in the Europa League.

So far they have only won one game, when at home they beat Copenhagen with great difficulty, by a score of 1-0.

There is also a draw and 3 defeats. The team comes from 2 matches without winning in the competition, losing to Copenhagen away from home by 4-3 and in the last match, they were tied 3-3 against Galatasaray.

It wouldn’t be considered a bad result under normal conditions, but the team’s needs forced the English team to seek victory.

What made the match even more bitter was the fact that Manchester opened up a 2-goal lead before 20 minutes into the first half.

Even though they conceded the added-time goal through Ziyech, in the first half, McTominay, 10 minutes into the second half, scored the third. But still, the English team managed the feat of conceding a draw.

Now they will necessarily need a more aggressive game against the German team, but they will invariably suffer from the actions of the opposing team.

Even though Bayern Munich has already defined its situation in this group, it is a technically very strong team and will certainly have many chances to score in this match.

The team leads this group with 13 points, having 4 wins and a draw, 11 goals scored and 6 conceded.

After winning the first 4 games in the competition, in the last match the team ended up drawing, when at home they were in a goalless draw against Copenhagen.

Although their situation was already defined, a light and aggressive game was expected from this team and even a quiet victory.

Although they had superior possession of the ball, they had a very pragmatic playing pattern, did not have a large volume of offensive actions and the goalless draw crowned Copenhagen’s good defensive performance.

For this game, with the team once again having a protocol match, we believe that Manchester can benefit from these circumstances.

Bookmakers place very high odds on the English team and therefore, I’ll opt for a positive handicap line for the home team.

The goal line and for both teams to score, I believe these are also good betting options.

But due to the needs of both teams, I believe that the handicap is the best market.
