Why should you put your money on Bayern Munich?
Bayern took it to Eintracht Frankfurt from the get-go, with Leon Goretzka scoring in the 17th minute. Thomas Muller made it 2-0 in the 41st minute, and then Robert Lewandowski made it seem like a rout scoring just after halftime. However, Martin Hintenregger made things interesting, scoring a brace with goals in the 52nd and 55th minutes. After that, though, Bayern Munich took over again, with Alphonso Davies scoring in the 61st minute and then with the team forcing an own goal in the 74th minute.
Bayern Munich led in shots 17-7 (10-4 on target) and possessed for almost two thirds of the match. The match was more fluid than physical, with the teams combining for just 17 fouls and one yellow card. Bayern Munich applied more pressure, drawing seven corners. Eintracht Frankfurt was game but simply did not have the back line speed and discipline to slow down the league leaders.
Why should you bet on Borussia Dortmund?
Borussia Dortmund is an efficient team when it comes to establishing a match’s tone and then pushing hard for the win. In their game at Wolfsburg, Ralphael Guerreiro started the scoring in the 32nd minute, and things were still 1-0 at the intermission. Then Achraf Hakimi added the insurance tally in the 78th minute. Wolfsburg’s frustration boiled over in the 82nd minute when Felix Klaus was shown a red card.
Borussia Dortmund possessed for 57 percent of the game and had just four shots to eight for the hosts, but two were on target, and they both went in. The teams combined for 19 fouls, but Wolfsburg was the more physical team, with four cautions and that red card. Calm and consistent pressure is the name of the game for Dortmund, but can they stick it to the league leaders?
Dortmund vs Bayern Final Score Prediction
I like what Borussia Dortmund does in their games, applying an almost hermetic pressure to the opposition and enforcing their will, but I don’t see them doing that to Bayern Munich on their home pitch, even without fans in the stands. I see the match going fairly evenly until Bayern Munich scores the game-winner late in the second half. I predict a final score of Bayern Munich 2, Borussia Dortmund 1.
