PREVIEW: Man City v Bayern Munich

[dropcap]D[/dropcap]isappointing effort from Southampton last night and the draw certainly did me no favours.

Just wonder how many more teams are going to hand the title to Chelsea on a plate ?? Chelsea themselves are in Champions League action tonight against Schalke but the ITV game sees another Premier League side who are wobbling at home to Bayern Munich.

City have had a terrible Champions League campaign again showing their frailty in Europe. They have now won just two of their last nine Champions League games.

City are also without Fernandinho and Yaya Toure who are both suspended.

The mathematics of Group E mean surely mean that nothing more than a win will do for City whereas Bayern are safe in the knowledge that they are already through to the knockout phase.

The German’s look too strong and I am backing them to be winning at both HT and FT at around 21/10 with Star Sports.

RECOMMENDED BETS (scale of 1-50 points)

BACK BAYERN HT/FT at around 21/10 for 5 points with Star Sports
