UEFA Champions League Prediction: Bayern Munich – Royal Union SG (21-01-2026)

After the first defeat in the 5th round, Bayern were able to redeem themselves and now have a perfect chance to continue the winning streak. They are hosting the bottom side Royal SG, who already have 5 losses in their record.

Bayern Munich got humbled by Arsenal at the end of November, but looked like old selves in the latest round. The German team beat the promising Sporting side 3-1, dominating from start to finish, preventing the opponent from recording a single shot on target.

This was their 5th win in the competition and Bayern sit in 2nd place. This win would almost guarantee top 8 finish and with PSV still left to play, Vincent Kompany should take this fixture with a 100% focus.

Moreover, the amazing situation in the Bundesliga allows Bayern to concentrate on the European competition, since they are first and 11 points above the second placed Borussia Dortmund.

Royal SG created a lot of chaos in the first round after surprisingly beating PSV in the Netherlands, but were not able to replicate their success in most of the competition.

With 2 wins and 5 losses they are 1point away from the promotion place. Interestingly, Royal’s second win was also in an away fixture versus Galatasaray, who at the time were unbeaten at home.

Despite Royal SG’s great away record, this Bayern side should be too much to handle. The Bavarians will play their DFB Pokal fixture only after the remaining 2 UEFA Champions League matches and with the given situation in the Bundesliga should not be saving up for this game.

Moreover, Bayern’s Harry Kane is still in the competition for the golden boot and this match might be a perfect chance to improve his stats. The German giants have the best home record with an incredible goal difference of 10:2 and the Belgium barrier definitely does not look scary to them, as reflected by the odds at the best betting sites.
