Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: Champions League prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, h2h, odds today

Bayern Munich host Real Madrid in the the first leg of their Champions League semi-final this evening.

Thomas Tuchel is leaving the club at the end of the season but there is still a chance for him to depart on a high, with Bayern through to the last-four for the first time since they won the competition in 2020.

The Bundesliga giants were underdogs in their quarter-final tie with Arsenal, but their experience helped them edge through and they are now within touching distance of a return to Wembley, where the final was also played when lifted the trophy 11 years ago.

Real beat English opposition too in the last-eight, riding their luck at times to beat holders Manchester City on penalties.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side know how to get the job done on the biggest stage, with 14 European titles to their name, and it could prove to be a sensational end to the season. Real are on the verge of lifting the LaLiga trophy already, and there is every chance Champions League glory follows.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid prediction

Real can be expected to be more front-footed than they were at the Etihad, with the Spanish side deservedly favourites in this tie.

They have not lost in LaLiga since September and are fully capable of grinding out results, even when not at their best.

Bayern have been in better form recently and their season rests entirely on the Champions League, but it would be a surprise if they are able to keep Real’s front-line quiet.

Real Madrid to win, 2-1.

Zadorov fined, Soucy awaits hearing for cross-checks on McDavid
NEW YORK — Vancouver defenceman Nikita Zadorov has been fined US$5,000 by the NHL and Canucks blue-liner Carson Soucy will have a hearing with the league for cross-checks on Edmonton superstar Connor McDavid. The discipline stems from an incident after the final buzzer sounded Vancouver's 4-3 Game 3 win over the Oilers on Sunday in Edmonton. Soucy shoved McDavid behind the Vancouver goal and McDavid responded by hitting Soucy's leg with his stick. Zadorov then cross-checked McDavid from behind,

Accusations fly in wake of ugly player melee following Toronto FC's 3-2 loss to NYCFC
Toronto FC saw its five-game winning streak end in ugly fashion Saturday in a 3-2 loss to New York City FC that saw seven yellow cards, one red and a frenzied post-game melee. There was bad blood between the two teams dating back to New York's 2-1 win on March 16 when there was an altercation in the tunnel at halftime at Yankee Stadium. New York coach Nick Cushing had played down that incident when asked about it on the lead-up to Saturday's match, saying: "There was nothing in it. It was two te

Bruins captain Marchand scratched from Game 4 of Eastern Conference semifinals against Panthers
BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand, the Boston Bruins captain and the team's leading scorer in the playoffs, was scratched from Sunday night's game against the Florida Panthers, two days after he left Game 3 in the third period with an undisclosed injury.
