Manchester United vs Bayern Munich Prediction: Visitors to make United’s life Harder

Manchester United Women will welcome Bayern Munich Women to Old Trafford on Wednesday night (20:00 GMT, live on Disney+) for a heavyweight Uefa Champions League contest.

It's the hosts' debut season in the competition, whereas this is Bayern's eighth quarter-final tie in the last 10 seasons. Read on for my Manchester United vs Bayern Munich predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Manchester United remain without injured trio Anna Sandberg, Leah Galton and Ella Toone, and there's also doubts around the availability of Dominique Janssen and Jayde Riviere.

Hinata Miyazawa was away on international duty at the weekend with Japan, but Wednesday's clash may come too soon for the midfielder.

As for Bayern, Klara Buhl, Katharina Naschenweng and Alara Sehitler are notable omissions, with Lena Oberdorf and Sarah Zadrazil also being long-term absentees.

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich Odds

United are 21/10 to win, giving them an implied win probability of 32.3%, the draw is 13/5 and Bayern are 11/10.

Both teams to score - yes is 4/6, and Pernille Harder currently leads the anytime goalscorer market at 6/4.

Bayern Munich to win and under 2.5 goals @ 4/1

As mentioned in the introduction, this is United's first time in the competition proper, as their only previous experience was a qualifying-round defeat to Paris Saint-Germain back in 2023/24.

The Red Devils impressed during the league phase, winning four of their six matches, scoring seven goals and conceding just once. However, Bayern are a much more experienced outfit at this level, as previously mentioned, and I think it'll count for something on Wednesday night.

United's undoing will be their lack of firepower - those seven goals scored during the league phase were among the lowest in the competition, and they've only scored three times in their last four matches across all competitions.

Contrast that with Bayern, and they're banging them in for fun and have conceded just one goal in their last five. I think United can keep things tight at the back, with the hope of taking something to Germany next week, so I'm going to back a Bayern win and under 2.5 goals here.

Pernille Harder to score anytime @ 6/4

One player who I think will cause United's backline problems is Harder.

She scored a brace in Bayern's 5-0 thumping of Essen in the league last time out, and she's netted four times in her last two appearances for the German giants.

The 33-year-old has a phenomenal goal record for Bayern, bagging 55 times in 86 appearances since joining the club back in July 2023.

At 6/4, the former Chelsea forward looks a sensible pick to score anytime on Wednesday.
