Manchester City v Bayern Munich tips - Gomez can crush City hopes Visit William Hill Save For Later Posted by Neil Roarty 6 Dec 2011 Tweet Mario Gomez can help Bayern Munich to eliminate Manchester City from the Champions League Related Articles See all Champions League newsVillarreal v Napoli tips - Azzurri can beat sinking Yellow Submarine Share it Pin It Manchester City need a minor miracle against Bayern Munich on Wednesday and it wouldn't be a massive shock if they failed under the weight of expectation.Manchester City's 2-1 defeat to Napoli a fortnight ago has more or less ended Roberto Martinez's side's chances of reaching the last 16 in their first season in the Champions League. The Citizens must now beat Bayern Munich on Wednesday and hope that Villarreal can take a point from Napoli.It is unlikely that the Spaniards will be able to do anything to help the English Premier League leaders but even if they can, City may not be able to uphold their end of the bargain. In the furore over Carlos Tevez's refusal to leave the bench in Munich it was forgotten that Bayern comprehensively out-played their opponents and were head and shoulders above Manchester City.Mario Gomez scored two goals that night and the German international is 7/1 at Ladbrokes to open the scoring at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Gomez has already scored six goals in five Champions League matches this season and he should be a lot shorter than the 9/4 at Stan James to score at any time against City.The Light Blues may be dominating the Premier League but they are still fragile in defence. This has been evident in a number of recent matches and one clean sheet (against Arsenal's reserves) in six matches is hardly the kind of form that you would want ahead of a meeting with one of Europe's best attacking sides.Bayern, who are 9/2 at Sky Bet to win on Wednesday, have genuine ambitions of winning the Champions League this season and they will look to send a message to their rivals by winning in Manchester. It certainly makes more sense to back them to take something from the game than it does to be on the home side at 8/13 with bet365.Paddy Power make it 13/10 that Bayern Munich win on Wednesday, when given a one goal handicap, and that looks like a good option. The bet will be classed as a winner as long as Bayern avoid defeat and, having not lost so far in the Champions League, there is little to suggest they will be beaten this week, no matter how much City need the points.RecommendationMatch Handicap (+1 Goal) - Bayern Munich (13/10, Paddy Power)Anytime Goalscorer - Mario Gomez (9/4, Stan James) Read our William Hill review Get your £25 free bet at William Hill now Like Like Post to wall 175 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Champions League Betting Tips, Champions League Tips, Manchester City V Bayern Munich Betting, Manchester City V Bayern Munich Preview, Manchester City V Bayern Munich Tips
