The Bayern Munich vs. Roma UEFA Champions League Money line has the Germans -166 and the Italians +405 at SPORTSBOOK.com
The Germans are trying to avoid a hangover after losing the Champions League final last year against Inter Milan at Madrid and appears as favorites on this game to beat the Italians. “We know we are favorites and we are not hiding about it”, said the midfielder Mark Van Bommel.
Bayern will be without their two playmakers makers as Arjen Robben remains with an injury that attacked him at the World Cup and Franck Ribery is out due to a last year suspension. The Germans tied 0-0 against Werder Bremen last weekend and failed to score for the second consecutive game; basically the problem for Coach Louis Van Gaal on this season has been the amount of wasted opportunities in front of the goal by their players.
On the other side the “Giallorissi” are having one of their worse season openers in their history after failing to beat Cesena in the first match to then losing 5-1 against Cagliari in a game where they seemed out of place and out of rhythm. To make it worse coach Claudio Ranieri won't have at his disposal two key defenders like John Arne Riise and Philippe Mexès, plus the difference maker Mirko Vucinic, all of them due to several injuries.
“We're in a group of champions, so we know it will be tough. Bayern are the favorites, and the other three teams at the same level and fighting for second place. When Van Gaal and I both worked in Spain we had mixed results against the other, but I have got the better of him away from home before”, said coach Ranieri.
Coach Van Gaal faced twice Italian opposition in the UEFA Champions League final with AFC Ajax, beating AC Milan 1-0 in 1995 but then losing on penalties to Juventus the year after. The last time these two met Bayern beat Roma 4-1 on aggregated at the quarterfinals in 1985.
