Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid prediction 15.04.2026 | Champions League

Bayern under Vincent Kompany have looked almost relentless at times. One defeat in 29 league games says plenty about their consistency. In Europe, it has been similar. Just one loss in 11 matches is not easy to overlook.

Form heading into this is strong too. Five straight wins, and in three of those, Die Roten scored four or more goals. That kind of attacking output can overwhelm sides.

At home, the numbers are just as convincing. Six consecutive wins suggests the Allianz Arena remains a difficult place to visit. Harry Kane was rested in the 4-0 win over St Pauli, which probably tells you he will start here.

His presence alone changes how Bayern attack. Leon Klanac, Sven Ulreich and Lennart Karl are out, though none of those absences feel decisive.

Real Madrid’s situation is harder to read. A managerial change mid-season always brings uncertainty, and while there were signs of improvement at first, recent results have dipped.

Los Blancos are winless in three matches, with two defeats, and have not kept a clean sheet in six. That defensive fragility is unusual for them.

Away form does not fully reassure either. Only two wins in their last four on the road, and even that feels slightly generous. The memory of their last visit here, which ended without a win, might linger. Kylian Mbappé is still finding rhythm after injury, which matters in a tie like this.

Rodrygo remains out with a serious knee injury. Thibaut Courtois is also unavailable, while Aurélien Tchouaméni is suspended.
