Why FC Salzburg will beat Bayern Munich
Salzburg heads into this match playing their best soccer of the season. The underdog in this dominated Austrian League rival Reindorf Altach 4-0 in their last.

The dog could be catching the favorite at the right time.

Why Bayern Munich will beat FC Salzburg
Because Bayern knew they’d get a chance to play Salzburg at Allianz Arena, the Bundesliga’s best squad didn’t lay it all on the line in the 1-1 draw versus Salzburg in the first leg. Bayern should be ready to roll their rivals in the second leg, though. Munich remains one of the best teams in the world. So although Salzburg forced a draw in the first leg, we should witness a much different outcome, with Bayern dominating, in the second leg.

Final Betting Analysis: FC Salzburg versus Bayern Munich
Salzburg played great in the first match, forcing a 1-1 draw. But the setup for the second leg is much different than it was for the first.
Bayern looks ready to make a statement. One of the favorites to win the Champions League, Bayern hasn’t had a dominating victory since beating Greuther Furth 4-0.
That’s bad news for Salzburg, who simply doesn’t have the attack to stick with Bayern in this. Munich should score at will in the first half, building a 2 to 3 goal lead, which means we must think hard about which way to go on the handicap.
Bayern, no doubt, can beat Salzburg by 3 to 4 goals. However, Salzburg’s handicap odds aren’t as underlaid as one might think. -163 is a fair number for 2 ½ goals because Bayern has a lead based on their away goal.
Expect Bayern to build 3 goals to 1 lead and then coast to a victory. The ½ a goal in the 2 ½ will make all the difference. The Salzburg handicap is the play.
