Bayern Munich v Juventus Recommended Bet:
Juventus lead the way in the head to head between the two sides, and all previous meetings in the Champions League between them came in group stage. Bayern are strong favourites, given their superb form this season, thanks to their incredible defence and tremendously powerful attack. This is their fourth quarter final in five seasons now in the Champions League and after winning 3-1 in London against Arsenal in the first leg of their Last 16 tie, it looked comfortable for the Germans. But then they lost the second leg 2-0 at home, only their second home defeat in 19 European matches. Munich have won 17 of their last 18 European game at home and won all three of their group stage matches in Munich. Bayern Munich hold a W7 D5 L5 record at home against Italian clubs, and a W12 D8 L15 record overall. This will be their 14th meeting against an Italian opponent in the last five season. Out of those previous matches, Bayern have won four and drawn one of their last six against Italian opponents at home.

It was a slow start away from home in the group stage of the Champions League for Juventus this term, drawing two and securing a 1-0 win at Shakhtar Donetsk for their only away win. Still, they won the group, giving Chelsea a hammering in Turin along the way as well. It was a comfortable ride through the round of sixteen for the Italian Champions as they thumped Celtic 5-0 on aggregate. Their progress to this year’s quarter finals has seen them compile 18 matches unbeaten in the competition and they haven’t suffered a defeat on the road since March 2010. In their nine away games since that loss, they have posted four wins and five draws. They really could be good enough to snatch a draw. They have put together five clean sheets in a row in this season’s Champions League as well. Juventus have also won all five of their European quarter final ties against German sides and how won their last eight two-legged European ties against German opposition. Juventus hold a W23 D7 L13 record against German sides, away from home it reads W4 D4 L7.
