CLASH OF OFFENSIVE POWER AND IRON DEFENSE: BOTH UNBEATEN, BUT SOMETHING MUST BREAK

Image
  Bayern Munich v Internazionale April 8th, 2025 The tenth mutual encounter between these giant clubs will offer a battle of opposites - phenomenal attack against an almost impenetrable defense. The Bavarian side has been more successful in five of the previous nine duels, including the last meeting in the Champions League, when they won both home and away 2-0 in the 2022-23 group stage. However, history shows an interesting paradox. Although Inter has won only two of seven matches against Bayern in the Champions League (1 draw, 4 losses), whenever both teams met in the knockout phase, the Italian club advanced. This happened in the 2009-10 final (2-0) and in the 2010-11 round of 16, when Inter progressed thanks to the away goals rule (3-3 aggregate score).

The Fuggerstädter have won only two of their last 20 Bundesliga matches against the table leader, but both of these triumphs were recorded in Friday home duels - 2-1 against Borussia Dortmund in March 2019 and 2-1 against Bayern Munich in November 2021. Both teams are experiencing an excellent spring season. Bayern has collected 23 points in the second half of the competition, the most of all teams, while Augsburg is third with 20 points (Bayer Leverkusen: 21). Augsburg has already surpassed their point total from the entire autu...
