In the last seven matches in the champions league, Real Madrid have lost only one [2-0 against Borussia Dortmund in Quarterfinals at Signal Iduna Park] while winning rest of the matches while Bayern are undefeated in last 8 home matches against Real Madrid in all competitions.

Prediction:

Bayern Munich are trailing by a goal and with Bale and Ronaldo back in attack they have the pressure to not concede and score twice at home which might be a tough job while Ancelloti can ease past if they don’t concede, whereas a goal will be enough to see them through if they play well.
