Champions League semi-final betting tips for all games
Germany against France in the semifinals
In Portugal, the two semi-final pairings of the first centralized Champions League tournament in history have been set. Thanks to two big surprises in the quarter-finals, there are two Franco-German duels. It is already clear that the overall winner will not come from England or Spain for the first time in seven years.
Even the first purely French final is possible. But the second purely German final, after Dortmund and Bayern faced each other eight years ago in the final, cannot be completely ruled out.
The two games in the semifinals, which are scheduled for Tuesday, August 18 and Wednesday, August 19, each time at, will again be a “David versus Goliath” constellation. On the one hand, RB Leipzig against Paris Saint-Germain is the blatant underdog in the first semi-final, while on the other hand, FC Bayern Munich is the clear favorite after the show of force against Barcelona against Olympique Lyon.
What is exciting, however, is the fact that “Les Gones” would not qualify for an international competition after the season ended in France. However, if OL were to win the Champions League and become the first French club since Olympique Marseille (1993) to do so, Lyon would be back in the top class as defending champions. All other three teams meanwhile have already secured tickets for the group stage of the 2020/21 season through the national league.
Paris Saint-Germain should undoubtedly have the significantly better chances of finally lifting French club football back to the throne and bringing the handle pot to the country of the reigning world champion. The Tuchel team barely got away with a black eye against Atalanta Bergamo and are currently among the top four teams in Europe for the first time in 25 years. With the highly decorated squad it should now go to the final for the first time.
However, in the Champions League semifinals, bets on the out of the two underdogs Leipzig and Lyon, who incidentally were still in the same group in the preliminary round, are by no means a sure-fire success. After all, said outsiders, Atlético Madrid and Manchester City, threw two absolute heavyweights out of the tournament – and each in the regular playing time of 90 minutes.
Anyway, there has been no extension in the first final tournament ever in the premier class. Whether in the Champions League semi-finals betting tips on the fact that there is overtime in one of the two games make sense? In any case, it makes sense to take a closer look at the two Franco-German duels.
This is exactly what we intend to do in this post, while detailed individual analyzes of the individual games will be available in the Champions League betting tips category in the coming days. In advance of the Champions League semifinals, we provide a prediction and specific betting tips as well as the best betting odds that we could find.

RB Leipzig – eleven years ago still in the fourth division – is playing a season in the Champions League that is worthy of all honor. Not only did the red bulls secure group victory in the preliminary round, but they were also able to bow two absolute heavyweights from the knockout round with last year’s finalist Tottenham Hotspur and 2014 and 2016 finalists Atlético Madrid.

The last-mentioned coup in particular can be rated as extremely high, especially since the Saxons entered the final tournament without top scorer Timo Werner on paper. The German international had meanwhile joined Chelsea FC and was no longer available for the tournament in Portugal.
How fit is Mbappé?
Of course, it must also be stated that Atlético themselves did not go into the quarter-finals with the very best line-up, which is why Paris Saint-Germain could turn out to be a completely different caliber. However, the Parisiens didn’t shine in the quarter-finals against Atalanta Bergamo.
The late equalizer and the winning goal just before the final whistle of regular time were well deserved in terms of the proportion of the game. Thomas Tuchel’s team only came to the really compelling penalty area scenes after taking in the actually ailing Kylian Mbappé, whose strength was gone after almost half an hour. Also problematic: the completely pale Mauro Icardi and the injured replaced Keylor Navas, who is currently still in question against the Red Bulls.
Although there is a certain potential in the bets, at least for the Leipzig goal in this Champions League semi-final, we consider the advancement of the favored Parisiens to be the most likely in the end.

With 8: 2, FC Bayern Munich dealt with the great FC Barcelona in a memorable quarter-final and thus provided the second big exclamation mark in the knockout phase after the 7-1 return match against Chelsea FC, the this season with the final tournament in Portugal is going a little differently than usual.
If the German record champions, whose chances of the second triple after 2013 have skyrocketed, certainly with a duel against ex-coach Pep Guardiola, the video analysis of the upcoming opponent should be one day after the surprising victory of OL Entry into the semi-finals have been set back to the beginning.
🥅 Betting Tips: 1st gate (between 1st to 15th)

However, Lyon are definitely among the top four teams in Europe. After all, Rudi García’s team defeated two teams, Juventus Turin and Manchester City, who are always at the top of the list of potential overall winners because of their big names.
Will Lyon be the favorite scare again?
Historically, there now seem to be chances against the Reds. This duel took place eight times. With two draws and two wins for the French, Bayern have won four games with a total of 11: 9 goals, but after their two most recent victories they currently seem a lot too big for “Les Gones”.
Against this background, we see no evidence of a prediction for the end of the German record champions in this Champions League semi-final. Instead, we believe that the self-confident Flick troop will make short work of Lyon as well. In the second Champions League semifinals, bets on an early goal that still falls in the first quarter of an hour could be just as lucrative as bets that Bayern will get the ticket for the final on 23 August 2020 with at least two goals difference without shaking for a long time to have to.
🥅 Betting Tips: Bayern (AHC -1.5)
⚽️ Odds: 1.60
