Bayern Munich & Manchester City continue to look like the teams to beat in the 2020\/20 UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

The forms of these two teams in the UCL and in all competitions is one to make other competitors fearful of them.<\/p>\n

NetBet and other bookmakers have Manchester City as first favourite to win, and Bayern Munich as second favourite, and football bettors across the globe can place their bets<\/a> with NetBet on this.<\/p>\n

Dissecting why the Cityzens are tipped to win the Champions League ahead of many other competitors, one major reason is the quality of their squad.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s squad is so good that they have got good replacements for almost every position in the squad from the defense to the attack.<\/p>\n

They brought in Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake in the summer to bring Stability to the team\u2019s defence and the Portuguese, Dias and John Stone\u2019s Partnership in the heart of defence has earned them huge numbers of clean sheets this season.<\/p>\n

Manchester City have won every game it has played in all competitions since December 2019 and now has 15 victories in a row in the league. Their unbeaten run has now stretched to 28 matches \u2014 tying a club record also achieved under Guardiola in 2017.<\/p>\n

The Champions League has been the competition that has eluded Guardiola at City and this season could be their best chance of claiming it. Although, their manager has ruled out the tag of favourites on them after they defeated Borussia Monchengladbach<\/p>\n

For the champions, Bayern Munich, they\u2019re unbeaten in 18 matches in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich won the tournament last season after beating Paris Saint-Germain, 1-0 in the final and are on course to represent Germany in another final with the team\u2019s form in the competition.<\/p>\n

Although they let some players leave in the summer, but added fresh legs to the team, the likes of Leroy Sane and the rest.<\/p>\n

For Bayern, they\u2019ve got a good attacking prowess and can unlock any defence with the\u00a0 young and pacy wingers, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Douglas Costa, Serge Gnabry and a proper Striker in Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

On the pundits corner, former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand doesn\u2019t think City are favourites to win the Champions League.<\/p>\n

The English Man said to BT Sport;<\/p>\n

“<\/em>Bayern have the experience and the quality, but I think Paris Saint-Germain as well. Having your two wide players or two strikers saying to Man City: ‘Are you going to commit?’ Will you stay back or will you keep committing people forward – it’s a shootout. The likes of Mbappe and Neymar in a shootout, you’re dicing.”<\/p>\n

As the UCL is getting close to this season\u2019s end, a Bayern Munich vs Manchester City final wouldn\u2019t be bad to see for football lovers as both teams are top favourites to win it and a final between both teams would be a sweet and scintillating watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
