Tonight FC Zurich against Bayern Munchen, a match play-off from the Champions League, at 19:45 UK time. Previous game: Bayern 2:0 Zurich
FC Zurich
FC Zurich lost the first leg with 0:2 on Allianz Arena, and was totally outplayed. After receiving a goal, the team’s performance really dropped and except for one header there was nothing else memorable that we could mention. Mathieu Beda, a quality defender from Zurich was sent off after picking up 2 yellow cards and will miss this game. This would mean that Zurich will meet difficulties in the right defender zone this game. The team has been able to reach the group stage of Champions League only once in season 2009/2010. This is Zurich’s 4th qualifying campaign. They failed to progress once in season 2006/07 when they met Salzburg and once when they met Besiktas in season 2007/08.
Bayern Munich
Bayern scored just 2 goals in the first game, but had plenty of opportunities to score at least 2 more, and hit the post once. The team has won 4 of the last 5 away matches in Europe. The only time Bayern Munich has missed the group stage of Champions League in the past 10 years has been in season 2007/08. The team has met only one Swiss team in the past 10 years, FC Basel, beating them 2:1 away and 3:0 at home in 2010/11 edition of Champions League. Bayern Munich has had to play only twice qualifying rounds, winning with 5:1 aggregate score against FK Obilić in 1998/99 and 6:1 aggregate score against FK Partizan in season 2002/03.
Prediction
If you are looking for a banker today, this game is it. Odds at 1.50 for Bayern to win (bet365). Despite the fact that the team has a 2 goal lead, I am sure the Germans will come out for a victory as they always do.
Brilliant performance from Robben last game, assisted for the first goal, and scored the second. Odds for him to score again in this game are 2.10 (bet365).
A possible surprise from FC Zurich will be very profitable as their odds to win are 6.50 and the draw is at 4.33, Double Chance comes to 2.50 (bet365).
My prediction, Bayern Munich to win this match.
