Salzburg test for heavily fancied Bayern
Bayern Munich are among the favourites to go all the way and win the Champions League this season but they will need to be on top form to come away from Salzburg with a win in the first leg of their last 16 tie.

Bayern slipped to a shock 4-2 defeat at mid-table Bochum at the weekend and the hosts thoroughly deserved the three points. Bochum dominated the first half despite falling behind early on and led 4-1 at the break, and Bayern were unable to fight their way back into the game despite improving after the restart.

Salzburg aren’t exactly a surprise package in the Champions League as this is their third consecutive season in which they have reached the tournament proper. This does mark their debut in this stage of the competition, and they go into the game in good form after five consecutive competitive victories.

Go for goals at the Red Bull Arena
Bayern are the heavy favourites to win this game and I expect them to come out on top, but at such a short price there isn’t a great deal of value in simply backing the German giants to win and instead the match goals market stands out.

Both teams are in good scoring form as Salzburg have scored at least twice in four of their last five games, hitting 13 in total, while Bayern have managed at least two in nine of their last 10 games.

Over 3.5 goals is the main bet here as that has been a winning bet in six of Salzburg’s last 10 home games in all competitions and in six of Bayern’s last seven games. These two sides met in the group stages last season and both games saw at least four goals scored, with 12 goals in total across the two games, so a high-scoring contest could well be on the cards in Austria

萨尔茨堡测试拜仁
拜仁慕尼黑是本赛季欧冠夺冠的热门球队之一，但他们需要保持最佳状态，才能在最后16场比赛的第一回合战胜萨尔茨堡。

拜仁在周末的比赛中以4比2的比分输给了波鸿，东道主完全应该得到这三分。尽管波鸿在上半场落后，并在中场休息时以4-1领先，但拜仁在下半场虽有所进步，但仍未能扳回比分。

萨尔茨堡在欧冠联赛中并不是一个令人惊讶的组合，因为这是他们连续第三个赛季进入锦标赛。这标志着他们在这一阶段比赛中的首次亮相，在连续五场比赛获胜后，他们以良好的状态进入比赛。

去红牛竞技场进球
拜仁是赢得这场比赛的大热门，我预计他们会取得胜利，但在这么低的价格下，仅仅支持德国巨人赢得比赛没有多大价值，相反，比赛进球市场很突出。

两支球队都处于良好的得分状态，萨尔茨堡队在最近的5场比赛中有4场至少进2球，共进13球，而拜仁队在最近的10场比赛中有9场至少进2球。

在萨尔茨堡最近的10场主场比赛中，有6场都是3.5个进球，拜仁最近的7场比赛中也有6场都是3.5个进球。这两支球队在上个赛季的小组赛中相遇，两场比赛都有至少4个进球，两场比赛共进12个球，所以一场高得分的比赛很可能在奥地利举行
