Common sense points to a bet on Munich men

Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund
 
This Champions League final promises to be an occasion to savour and a match to remember and it should be a profitable affair if you back Bayern Munich to beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday.

Wigan’s win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final was a timely reminder of the vagaries of one-off knockout matches, but I’m going to stick with common sense which points to Bayern.

Dortmund have been excellent all season and have a wonderful centre-forward in Robert Lewandowski and a really positive approach. But they are weaker defensively and the loss of Mario Gotze is a huge blow.

Bayern will come at them all night long and if the full-backs aren’t on their game, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Philipp Lahm and David Alaba will wear you down. Dortmund will be doing plenty of defending and eventually they’ll crack.

Recommendation
Bayern Munich
