Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern Munich
UEFA Champions League 2024/21
Starts at 17:55pm UK / 18:55pm CET
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2024
Venue: RZD Arena (Moscow).

Bayern Munich travel to Russia to face Lokomotiv Moscow after a resounding 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Allianz Arena on Matchday XNUMX.

The Bavarians now have 12 Champions League wins on their comeback and it's no surprise to find they cost an odd 1,20 to win at the RZD Arena.

Bayern reinforced their midweek victory with another 5-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Lokomotiv Moscow kicked off their Champions League campaign in Salzburg and came back with a 2-2 draw, in a match in which they were considered big losers.

Anyway, they had a disappointing weekend after the 1-2 foot defeat of Rotor Volgograd table team at home.

The home team has an odd price of 12,00 to create a surprise against the champions of the Champions League and the Bundesliga, while a draw can be compensated at 7,00.

Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern Munich Head-to-head

The only meeting between Lokomotiv Moscow and Bayern Munich took place in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup season. The Railroads enjoyed a surprise 1-0 victory in Munich, only to inspire Bayern to break the lead with a resounding 5-0 second leg victory.

Overall, Loco faced German clubs 10 times in various UEFA tournaments, but only managed to win two and lose all 8. Interestingly, they lost all 5 of their home games during the period.

Bayern, on the other hand, have a good record against Russian sides. In 20 previous games he had a total of 11 wins and 6 draws, while he lost in 3. On Russian soil, his record is 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in 10 games.

Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Anything other than a Bayern win at the RZD Arena will be a huge surprise and the away win is likely to drop further below 1,1 towards the start.

But my goal is to find a strong bet with decent odds, and in this case my recommendation is no less than 3,5 goals. Since the start of the new season, Bayern have registered more than 2,5 goals in all matches, i.e. Bundesliga + DFB Pokal and Champions League. Meanwhile, 3,5+ goals are seen in all but one.

And this is a team that has scored 22 goals in 5 Bundesliga games this season and 4 against a team with a bulletproof defense like Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Bayern to win the first half and ht/ft are decent options at 1,44 and 1,57 odd respectively.

Anyway, as an alternative bet, I'll take the win with an Asian handicap of -1,5, as their 5 Champions League wins before the end of last season saw the same.
