The Runners-Up for last year’s edition of Champions League will open this season with a home game against the Italian Roma.

These two teams have no recent history, but they did meet back in 1985. The Bavarian team achieved a victory at home, and a draw game 1:1 in Rome.

Against Italian teams Bayern has a mixed success rate at home with 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. That being said, makes this game quite unpredictable despite the odds given and the public opinion.

Roma returns to the Champions League after a season of absence. The team has a very negative ration in Germany, winning only 2 and losing 8 of the total 10 games they had there.

Bayern is currently seems to be in a hole, not being able to achieve a victory since July 20th when they won the season opener in Bundesliga again Wolfsburg with 2:1, and even that win came a bit lucky with a goal in the 90th minute.

Out for this match are Robben(injury), and Ribery serving a suspension of 3 games, so there it goes Bayern’s offense.

Roma started the season even worse with a 0:0 draw against Cesena at home, and a whopping 1:5 against Cagliari this Saturday the 11th. The Italians are either saving themselves for this game, or have not picked up the pace yet.

The Betting Verdict?

Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.20 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): Great odds here, although I don’t understand why. In tournament openers usually both teams abstain from going hard on each other. It’s much more important not to get a goal and not lose than to win here. I am pretty sure the Italian will be happy on a boring draw here, and will try to achieve it at all cost.
