Match Preview

Bayern München host Atalanta in a UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash on March 18, 2026, following a dominant first-leg performance by the Bavarians. Bayern cruised to an emphatic 6-1 victory away, virtually sealing their progression to the quarter-finals. Despite this commanding lead, the German giants face concerns with key injuries, including goalkeeper Manuel Neuer sidelined with a calf muscle issue and Alphonso Davies nursing a muscular injury.

Atalanta, meanwhile, arrive under pressure to salvage pride and attempt a remarkable comeback, though the task appears daunting given Bayern’s current form and firepower. The Italian side will likely adopt a more cautious approach, aiming to limit further damage on the night.

Given Bayern’s strong advantage and form, the odds reflect a clear favorite; however, the high odds on Atalanta may tempt those seeking value on an upset or spirited second-leg fightback.

Our Prediction

Bayern München to win with a clean sheet and under 2.5 goals scored.

Best Bet

Both teams to score: No (≈1.65) — Bayern’s defensive discipline and Atalanta’s need to attack may be limited, but Bayern’s solidity and Atalanta’s recent defensive struggles suggest Bayern will keep a clean sheet in this controlled second leg.
Home team total goals Under 2.5 (≈1.85) — Bayern’s injury concerns and a likely cautious approach to protect their aggregate lead make scoring fewer than three goals at home a realistic bet.
Away win or draw (Double Chance X2) (≈2.40) — Atalanta, desperate to avoid a further collapse, may tighten up enough to avoid defeat, especially with Bayern possibly resting key players.
