Bayern gained the upper hand of the tie as they beat Inter 1:0 thanks to the last-gasp effort from Mario Gomez, so the Bavarians are clearly the favourites to go through.

Louis van Gaal’s side faced a very difficult period following the Inter game as they went on to lose next three matches in domestic competitions, thus it was essential Bayern recorded a good result against Hamburg last weekend.

The Baviarians not only won the game but they scored six goals in the process, showing that they are as ready as they can be for the return leg against Inter.

Louis van Gaal will have almost full squad to choose from as Breno returns from a domestic ban, which means Ivica Olic is the only unavailable player at the moment.

Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, or ‘Robbery’ as the German press like to call them, were behind all but one goal in the 6:0 drubbing of Hamburg and the two players are set to cause Inter’s defenders all sorts of problems.

Paddy Power pays 2.62 (13/8) on Arjen Robben to score against Inter, whereas Franck Ribery is 4.00 (3/1) at 888Sport.

Inter dominated large periods of the game at Giuseppe Meazza, but had to settle for the narrow defeat, with the Neroazzurri now looking to make amends and beat Bayern at their own ground.

Inter missed a great chance to close the gap behind Milan in Serie A as they couldn’t hold on to the lead against Brescia, although they would have lost the game if Julio Cesar hadn’t saved a last minute penalty.

The Neroazzurri have been playing really well lately and they definitely stand a chance at Alianz Arena, so we see a good value in backing Inter not to lose at 1.91 (10/11) offered by William Hill.

Boss Leonardo is hoping centre-backs Lucio and Ranocchia will be available despite picking up knocks at the weekend, but Diego Milito and Walter Samuel are definitely out.

Giampaolo Pazzini is ineligible for Champions League games, while Maicon should feature despite struggling with fever over the last few days.
