Why Bet on Bayern München?
Cloudy days in Munich. Recently the coach Julian Nagelsmann was fired, and although the club’s board of directors says that it is due, not so much to the results but to the level that the team is showing, some media such as Bild assure that the players Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulrich, Serge Gnabry, Sadio Mané, Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala and Joao Cancelo ( the latter coming on loan just 2 months ago), would have asked the club to remove the coach.
The truth is that Nagelsmann is no longer here and was replaced by Thomas Tuchel, who was fired in September last year from Chelsea, where he won the Champions League, and who spent between 2015 and 2017 at Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern, although they eliminated Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League round of 16, have not had a good 2023 in the Bundesliga, which cost them first place in the league in the last game after losing 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen. This year they have achieved 18 of 30 points, something that is not normal for the team. They have 52 points, 1 less than Dortmund, have scored 72 goals and only conceded 27, being the best attack and the best defense, and have only lost 3 games but have drawn 7.
It is expected that Eric Choupo-Moting, who could not play this week with the Cameroon National Team due to injury, can be on the field after completing training on Monday. As a curiosity, it will be the third time that the striker and Tuchel meet at a club after the coach led him at Mainz and Paris Saint Germain.
Why Bet on Borussia Dortmund?
Borussia Dortmund is excited. In their last game, they crushed Köln 6-1 and managed to reach first place in the Bundesliga, surpassing Bayern München by one point. They know that beating them at the Allianz Arena will be not only a moral blow but would also mean a 4-point advantage over their direct rivals.
Edin Terzic’s team has had a great 2023 in the Bundesliga: they have 9 wins and only 1 draw in the derby against Schalke. The only game they have lost this year was the second leg versus Chelsea in the Champions League. Counting all the tournaments and friendlies, there are 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
Sébastien Haller scored 2 goals in the last game against Köln, in addition to the fact that with Ivory Coast he also scored last Friday for the African Cup of Nations qualifier, so Borussia fans hope that it will be the return of the great scorer that was at Ajax.
Dortmund has many casualties in this game, with Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, and Youssoufa Moukoko being the most sensitive. Defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who was unable to play with the German National Team due to injury, is expected to be available for the weekend. Emre Can can now play after his suspension.
Final Betting Analysis: Bayern München vs. Borussia Dortmund
Great match this weekend between the two strongest teams in Germany, who are in the first two places, fighting for the title. It will be very even, Bayern having a new coach and Dortmund with important losses due to injury, and we believe that both will score goals but it will be a tie.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Bayern München is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -198, while Borussia Dortmund has +440 and the draw is at +400.
The last time they met was on October 8 of last year and they drew 2-2 thanks to a goal by Anthony Modeste in the 90+5 minute, while the last time they played at the Allianz Arena was on April 23 of 2022 and Bayern won 3-1. Dortmund cannot win since the 2019 German Super Cup (2-0), while in the Bundesliga they have not won since 2018 (3-2), and in the Allianz Arena for the league, the last time was in 2014.
