Real Madrid vs Bayern Predictions
Open attacking numbers point toward a high-scoring semi-final
Bayern Munich’s Champions League matches have produced heavy scoring throughout this campaign. Vincent Kompany’s side have scored 32 goals across 10 European games, including a 10-goal aggregate demolition of Atalanta in the previous round.
Away matches in this competition have rarely been quiet. Both teams have scored in all five of Bayern’s Champions League trips, while the Bavarians have managed just one clean sheet across their last eight matches in all competitions. They have also conceded in seven of those eight games.
At the same time their attack continues to deliver at a relentless rate. Bayern have scored at least three goals in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. The club are chasing a third treble in 13 years, and the numbers from this stretch show just how aggressive their scoring output has become.
Real Madrid’s European games under interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa have also moved quickly toward open scorelines. Six Champions League matches during his spell have produced 23 total goals. At the Bernabeu specifically, Madrid have scored 11 goals across three home European fixtures.
Vinicius Junior has started to rediscover rhythm for the Spanish side and Kylian Mbappe is back available in attack, which adds another layer to an already star-heavy forward line. Real were able to eliminate Manchester City in the round of 16, yet Bayern represent a different challenge after nine wins from 10 Champions League matches this season.
With Bayern scoring three or more in eight of their last nine matches and Real producing 11 goals in three home European games under Arbeloa, I like the odds on Over 3.5 Match Goals at 1.80.

Olise’s scoring numbers keep pushing his price into focus
Michael Olise has quietly built one of Bayern Munich’s most productive attacking seasons. The French winger has produced 11 goals and 18 assists in the Bundesliga alone, alongside another three goals in the Champions League.
His recent European contribution was particularly notable. Olise scored twice away at Atalanta when Harry Kane was absent, helping drive the tie firmly in Bayern’s favour.
He also added a goal against Union Berlin before the international break, extending his scoring rhythm across competitions. Even when he did not score in the 3-2 Bundesliga win at Freiburg last weekend, Olise still produced 0.58 Expected Goals after coming off the bench and also set up Bayern’s stoppage-time equaliser.
Kane missed that Freiburg match but Vincent Kompany sounded optimistic about the striker’s possible return here. If Kane does start, much of the spotlight will naturally fall on the expected Mbappe versus Kane duel.
Yet Olise continues to deliver numbers that stand comfortably alongside Bayern’s leading forwards. With 16 goals in all competitions and frequent involvement in high-quality chances, Michael Olise to score anytime looks a decent bet at 3.00.
