Bayern Munich will be ending their group stage campaign as winners irrespective of what happens at Old Trafford; hence, the odds are quite close in this game. The bookmakers are offering 2.62 (13/8) as the odds for Man United to win, while Bayern Munich’s victory is valued at 2.38 (11/8) odds. A draw has the highest value at 4.00 (3/1).
The Bavarians have been very successful against Manchester United, and they haven’t lost any of the last four meetings. Bayern Munich’s last visit to Old Trafford ended in a 1-1 draw, but Manchester United was a huge force in Europe in that era. The Germans are levels above the Red Devils and are a good pick for the Man United vs Bayern Munich predictions.
Erik Ten Hag’s ‘era’ hasn’t gone as expected, and Manchester United are at risk of dropping to the Europa League again. The Red Devils are currently bottom of Group A in the UEFA Champions League with just one game left and their chances of qualification are quite slim. Man United lost 3-0 in their last game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford, and they are lacking momentum ahead of the game against Bayern Munich. The Red Devils aren’t performing well in the league either and have failed to beat a top-six team since the start of December.
Carlos Casemiro is out until January, and United would miss his presence against a very physical Bayern midfield. Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount are also sidelined for this game, with very few options in midfield for Erik Ten Hag. With key absentees, the Red Devils are underdogs in the Man United vs Bayern Munich odds.
Bayern Munich was hammered 5-1 in the Bundesliga away to Eintracht Frankfurt, but that was only their third defeat in all competitions this season. The Bavarians are still in control in the Champions League, where they have four wins and one draw from five matches. Bayern Munich trails Bayer Leverkusen by just four points in the league, and they remain in contention for both the Bundesliga and UCL. After a huge loss like over the weekend, Thomas Tuchel would be demanding a huge reaction from his team, and a win would give them the right momentum for the knockouts.
Matthijs de Ligt and Bouna Sarr suffered ligament injuries and haven’t been in action for more than a month. Serge Gnabry came in as a substitute against Eintracht Frankfurt but was forced off five minutes later after picking up a hamstring injury.

Bayern Munich’s loss against Eintracht Frankfurt was exaggerated, and they created more danger in that game than their opponents. Thomas Tuchel’s team had three big chances but failed to convert any of them, which is unusual as they are very clinical. Bayern Munich is having a good season in the UCL, and they defeated Manchester United in the first leg in Germany.
Man Utd was in much better form when they lost to the Germans and have been steadily declining since then. The Red Devils have won just two of their last five games, and both wins came against Everton and Chelsea, who sit outside the top half of the Premier League table. Bayern has a more complete team, and they can bounce back against a very poor Manchester United team. Backing the Bavarians to claim all three points is the best available option in this game available on football betting platforms.

Bayern Munich has conceded eight goals in their last five games and more than 60% came after the break. Manchester United has also conceded eight times in the last five games, and five of those goals came in the second half. In the first leg in Germany, both teams scored in the second half, with five goals coming after the restart. A bet on both teams to score in the second half is a very nice option in the Man United vs Bayern predictions.
