Munich are favourites for the Champions League after setting up a final clash with Chelsea

Bayern Munich are favourites for the Champions League after setting up a final clash with Chelsea.

The Germans beat Real Madrid 3-1 on penalties following a 3-3 aggregate draw in their semi-final on Wednesday.

Bayern, available at 22/1 when the tournament began, are now a best of 1/2 with Coral, Betfred and bodog to lift the trophy on May 19 when the final takes place in their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.

Chelsea, who stunned Barcelona with a 3-2 aggregate win in the first semi-final, are out at 15/8 with Boylesports and bodog. 7/4 is more widely available.

The Blues hit 28/1 in the outright market after losing the first leg of their last-16 clash against Napoli 3-1 in February.

As for the 90-minute match betting, Bayern are odds-on at 10/11 with Hill’s.

Sky Bet fancy the Germans even more – they go 5/6 – but they are prepared to offer 13/5 about Chelsea, while they have the draw out at 5/2.

Both sides will be missing key men for the showdown.

David Alaba, Holger Badstuber and Luiz Gustavo all picked up yellow cards against Real which will rule them out of the final.

Chelsea will be missing John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires and Raul Meireles due to suspension.

Chelsea, however, have yet to conquer Europe. The closest they have come was in 2008 when they lost the final on penalties to Manchester United.
