The German Bundesliga side holds a 6-1 advantage following the first-leg tie in Italy. Now, they'll be looking to put the game beyond further doubt when they meet on Thursday, March 19, at 07:00 AEDT.
Quick Picks
Our pick: Bayern Munich to win
Value bet: Over 2.5 goals
Long shot: 'No' in the BTTS
Betting Preview
Given the scoreline, it's unsurprising to see that Bayern had dominated the first-leg tie. What might have been surprising is that Vincent Kompany's team managed to produce a scoreline of that size without involving Harry Kane. The English striker didn't play a single minute in the game, despite having scored eight goals in this year's competition so far.
A brace by Michael Olise, with goals by Josip Stanisic, Serge Gnabry, Nicolas Jackson, and Jamal Musiala were enough for the Bundesliga side, with the Italians pulling one back just before the final whistle through Mario Pasalic.
In terms of match statistics, the Germans were rampant. They had 25 attempts on the Serie A side's goal, with 13 on target. They also had more than two-thirds of the ball, with their possession stat reading at 71%. Atalanta had their chances, registering eight in the game, but just two were on Jonas Urbig's goal.
Betting Markets to Watch
Let's be honest, something bigger than a miracle is going to be needed for Atalanta to win this game. Bayern have lost just twice all season, with only one defeat at home. This came in the league, with their only UCL defeat this season away at Arsenal in the Group Phase.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Kompany were to use more of his squad once again in this one. Still, goals can be expected. The 'Over 2.5 Goals' market has hit in 10 of Bayern Munich's last 11 Champions League matches, and while there isn't a need to go looking for them from the host's point of view, it doesn't mean they won't.
Players like Jackson may feel they have to take advantage of a rare start. He has a solid record in the UCL, scoring three goals in seven appearances. Having netted in the first leg, we think he'll offer value in the second leg to score again anytime.
Our Prediction

We think the likely outcome is a Bayern Munich win. Our value pick would be the 'Over 2.5 goals' market to hit, as Bayern haven't found it difficult to score goals against Europe's top sides.
Our long shot is the 'No' in the BTTS market. The 'Both Teams to Score' market has failed to hit in each of Atalanta's last five Champions League away matches. Although they scored in the first leg, the Germans have conceded just twice in four home games.
