Manchester City v Bayern Munich tips - Gomez can crush City hopes

Mario Gomez can help Bayern Munich to eliminate Manchester City from the Champions League
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.

Recommendation

Match Handicap (+1 Goal) - Bayern Munich (13/10, Paddy Power)
Anytime Goalscorer - Mario Gomez (9/4, Stan James)
