Bayern had been rolling. Harry Kane and his mates were dominating opponents, blasting squads like Lazio 3-1, Mainz 8-0, and Darmstadt 5-2. But in their last couple of matches, things have gone south big time.
Bayern lost to rival Dortmund on 2-0 on March 30. It was Bayern’s for lost to Dortmund in a long time. Not only that, but the loss came in Munich. Then, in their next match, Bayern lost again, this time falling to Heidenheim.
Arsenal, by contrast, rolls into the UCL quarterfinals. The Gunners have won 4-of-5 with a draw. In the 4 wins, Arsenal outscored their opponents a combined 8 goals to 1. Also, the draw came against Man City at Etihad. The Gunners win this match in regulation.

Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid, Spain
The Champions League Quarterfinals draw pits two of the favorites to win the title against each other on Tuesday. Manchester City is the road team, which is why the Sky Blues are just +140 favorites.
Both teams are in excellent form. City has won 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. The draws came against the other two contenders for the Premier League, Liverpool and Arsenal. In their other 3 matches, the Sky Blues have dominated, blasting Newcastle 2-0, drubbing Aston Villa 4-1, and dominating Crystal Palace 4-2.
Real Madrid has won 3 straight since a 1-1 draw versus Leipzig in a Champions League matchup. A 4-0 win versus Celta, 4-2 against Osasuna, and 2-0 versus Athletic Bilbao tells us what we must know about how well Real is playing.
These two are almost on even terms. The Citizens have a slightly better roster, but Real Madrid has the brilliant Carlo Ancelotti, the greatest Champions League trainer in history, on their side. Real can win this. However, the draw offers decent enough odds for a play. Back the draw.

Civitas Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain
This should be an excellent soccer game. Although home squad Atletico shows 2 losses in their last 5, 1 of the defeats came against rival Barcelona in a match that feel apart for Madrid. Atletico couldn’t keep it together in what was a tough game versus Robert Lewandowski and Barca.
AM bounced back in their next, defeating another rival, Villarreal, 1-2 on the road. Atletico Madrid is playing decent soccer and should be the favorite.
But Madrid faces a rising Dortmund side. Throw out the last match loss to Stuttgart. Dortmund faced that rival a game after beating Bayern. Most Bundesliga teams bounce in the game right after beating Bayern Munich.
Dortmund should return to the form that showed them winning 5. 1 of the wins was a nice 2-0 beating of PSV in a Champions League Round of 16 match. Also, the odds on the road squad makes them an overlay.

Parc de Princes, Paris, France
Two of the top strikers on the planet clash when Lewa leads Barcelona to Parce de Princes to take on Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain. Barca is the +260 underdog versus the home team.
There are reasons to like Paris in this matchup. Mbappe and his mates had won 4 straight before their last. 1 of the most impressive wins was a 6-2 victory against Montpellier on the road. But PSG fell apart in their last, a 1-1 draw versus Ligue 1 doormat Clermont Foot.
Barcelona is on a 4-match winning streak. During the streak, Barca has outscored their opponents a combined 8 goals to 1. The team that scored the goal was Napoli in a 3-1 UCL Round of 16 Barcelona win. At +260 odds, Barca is the play.
