Bundesliga Tips: Back wounded Bayern to recover

1 week ago | betting.betfair.com | Kevin Hatchard

Heidenheim v Bayern Munich - Bayern to bounce backSaturday 19 April, 14:30In the wind and rain on an inclement Milan evening, Bayern's Champions League dream died for another season. The rekordmeister were desperate to play the final in their home stadium, but it will be a different team who will lift that famous trophy at the Allianz Arena in late May.

Monza v Napoli - Conte's men still in the huntSaturday 19 April, 17:00Napoli boss Antonio Conte has joked that Italian media should thank him and his players for keeping the Serie A title race alive, but beneath that tongue-in-cheek comment is an admission that the Partenopei are pushing champions Inter hard in the race for the Scudetto.

Inter v Bayern Wednesday 16 April, 20:00Live on Discovery+Inter hitting form at the right timeSimone Inzaghi knows all about balancing the demands of different competitions, and his treble-chasing Inter team are flying at present. The Nerazzurri haven't lost a game since mid-February, they are three points clear at the top of Serie A with six games left, they are in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and they are in pole position to reach the final four of the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund v Barcelona: Champions League king to dominate again

Borussia Dortmund v BarcelonaTuesday 15 April, 20:00Live on Discovery+Munich display showed folly of first legBorussia Dortmund defended like lions in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich, which made their permissive display in Barcelona last week all the more bizarre and unfathomable. At Montjuic, BVB coach Niko Kovac picked a needlessly attacking line-up, and the attack-minded trio of Julian Brandt, Carney Chukwuemeka and Felix Nmecha were completely overrun in a 4-0 defeat.
Football Bet of the Day: Ranieri revolution to continue

Lazio v RomaSunday 13 April, 19:45Live on TNT SportsDespite going down to ten men for the closing stages, Augsburg came through for us yesterday, grabbing a late winner in a 2-1 victory at Bochum. We'll head to the Rome derby now, because resurgent Roma are up against Lazio, and I fancy the Giallorossi to take the win. Lazio are recovering from a punishing trip to the edge of the Arctic Circle, and a 2-0 defeat against Bodo Glimt in the Europa League.
Football Bet of the Day: Hosts too short to win Ruhrstadion rumble

Bochum v AugsburgSaturday 12 April, 14:30Valencia delivered a chunky winner for us last night, as they moved to the cusp of safety with a 1-0 win over Sevilla. At this rate, Los Che will end up closer to the European spots than the relegation zone. We'll head across to Germany now, because relegation-threatened Bochum are up against resurgent Augsburg, and I can't really work out why the home side are firm favourites.
Football Bet of the Day: Corberan's the man to trust

Valencia v SevillaFriday 11 April, 20:00Live on La Liga TVA late flurry of goals got our Over 2.5 Goals bet over the line in France last night, as Lyon held Manchester United to a 2-2 draw that sets up the second leg at Old Trafford very nicely. We're off to Spain now, because former Huddersfield and West Brom boss Carlos Corberan is doing a sensational job at Valencia, and I expect that to continue tonight against Sevilla.
Serie A Tips: Grim for Gasperini again

Atalanta v Bologna - La Dea to fall againSunday 13 April, 11:30Atalanta have once again punched above their weight this season, reaching the knockout phase of the Champions League and maintaining a push for the Scudetto well into the new year. Last season's Europa League winners are however running out of steam, and they may even have to face the prospect of tumbling out of the Champions League places altogether.
Bundesliga Tips: Dortmund can push Bayern close

Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund - Distracted Bayern may slip upSaturday 12 April, 17:30Live on Sky SportsIt was a tough Champions League week if you're a fan of German football. Bayern were beaten 2-1 at home by Inter (I had tipped Inter to qualify at 2.265/4 in my match preview), and then Borussia Dortmund were destroyed 4-0 at Barcelona. Those defeats don't tell the whole story. Bayern wasted numerous chances against the Italian champions, with Harry Kane strangely profligate.
Football Bet of the Day: Back goals at the Groupama

Lyon v Manchester UnitedThursday 10 April, 20:00Live on Discovery+A tough one to take last night, as PSG put three goals past Aston Villa, but none of them were from the in-form Ousmane Dembele. We move on. We'll go elsewhere in France, because Lyon are up against Manchester United in the Europa League quarter-finals, and I fancy goals in this first leg. Lyon are in a curious situation at present, which is often the case with maverick owner John Textor at the helm.
