TranslateAsian Handicap Bilbao +1 3/4

[Analysis]
After four successful years, Pep Guardiola will have a chance to end his managerial career at Barcelona the way he started it. The Catalans' dominance in Spain and Europe started with a victory over Bilbao in the Coppa Del Rey and I'm sure the players will all be motivated to give their manager a well deserved farewell. The Spanish Cup will present some consolation to both Barca and Bilbao after their respective disappointments. Barca surrendered their La Liga title to arch rivals Real Madrid and was knocked out of the Champions League. Bilbao was hammered 4-1 by Atletico Madrid in the Europa Final.

League form should count for nothing much in this cup final. Barca should dictate play as usual. Although history suggests Bilbao can lose by a big margin (3 or more goals) in a final, I don't foresee it happening to them again in this final. To overcome the handicap, Barca needs to win by 3 goals, so the 1 3/4 isn't very attractive to me. I'll go for Bilbao to lose by 1 goal or manage a draw....see more

TranslateAsian Handicap Munich -1/2

[Betting Tip Analysis]

I expected Bayern Munich to play well in the DFK Pokal final against Borussia Dortmund. They were however, disappointing. When Ribery and Robben fail to perform on their flanks, somehow the Bavarians look slightly toothless in their attack. That being said, the final is at Allianz Arena. Extra motivation is on the cards for Bayern Munich. The same can be said for Chelsea's aging stars though, many of whom might not have a chance at Champions League glory again. Also, winning the cup is their only route to Champions League football next season, having finish outside the top 4. Squad selection wise, Bayern can benefit from Chelsea's missing stars: John Terry, Ivanovic, Raul Meireles and the performing Ramires. History favors the Bavarians, having won 13 out of 14 games at home in all competitions, while Chelsea won only once away from home. The host finalist always win so far though, examples include Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Roma. It's naive to write off Chelsea though, especially when Drogba is in form. I'm going to stick to history and go for Bayern with home support behind them to beat Chelsea in 90 minutes....see more

TranslateAsian Handicap Barcelona -1 3/4

[Analysis]
Both teams have nothing to play for in the league, with Real Madrid clinching the La Liga title and Real Betis already safe from relegation. However, this is Pep Guardiola's last league game in charge of Barcelona and I believe the players will want to win it for him. Barcelona has a cup final, but that's 2 weeks from now, so team selection wise, not too many players will get rested. Winning this game will put Barcelona on confidence ahead of the cup final too. Real Betis is not a bad team at home, having only lost 5 games so far. That being said, with Messi chasing the Pichichi (he's ahead of Ronaldo by 5 goals at the moment), and Pep's last league game, I say a 2 goal winning margin should not be too difficult for the Catalan side....see more

TranslateDortmund vs Munich

Asian Handicap Munich 0

[Analysis]
Borussia Dortmund has already beaten Bayern Munich twice this season. With the Bundesliga title in the bag already, Borussia Dortmund could seal a domestic double at the expense of Bayern Munich who has a dismay league season by their standards. Bayern Munich themselves can clinch a double if they manage to win today and the Champions League final. Recent meetings between the two heavily favor Dortmund. However, Bayern has been playing well recently. They always looked dangerous going forward against Real Madrid away in the Champions League. Dortmund, though is a very disciplined and consistent side, and will be hard to break down. With the handicap delicately poised, I'm going for a Bayern side who was beaten to the league title twice by Dortmund, to attack and dominate play, and deny Dortmund of a domestic double....see more
