Football Predictions Champions League Semi Final Special

As we're nearing the end of the season I've decided to adapt the Predictor to see if it can forecast the Champions League Semi Final.  This is the first time I've tried this on a knockout cup match and using teams from difference leagues, so this is a bit of a trial...!

Tonight sees Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund - both of these teams have played second fiddle in their respective domestic campaigns this season, but making it this far in the tournament shows how strong these teams are.  Real Madrid have a three goal deficit to pull back which does seem a lot, however, they have two things on their side.  Firstly, they're at home and you can never write off Real at the Bernabeu, and secondly they do have an important away goal.  Therefore, a 3-0 win will see them through - easy, huh?

Tomorrow's game is also in Spain as Bayern Munich visit the Camp Nou.  Barcelona got ripped apart in Munich, which you don't see often and with a four goal difference to make up this one seems all over.  In addition, I really can't see Bayern not scoring as they've averaged nearly three goals a game in the Bundesliga this season.  One goal from Bayern will require six goals from Barcelona, and with Bayern resting most of their first team last weekend I think there's only one outcome for this match.

Please add any comments and don't forget to +1 the blog!

Thanks
