All Eyes on Haaland
The Norwegian youngster and arguably the biggest talent globally is the main threat for Julian Nagelsmann and his team. Haaland scored two goals and had an assist in the Bundesliga opener, setting the tone for the remaining part of the campaign. By the way, Borussia smashed Eintracht Frankfurt with 5-2, boosting its morale before the big derby.
The new head coach, Marco Rose, faces lots of adversity when it comes to preparing the team for Tuesday’s contest. The Millionaires won’t have their center-back, Matts Hummels, available, as well as the Belgian defender, Meunier. Zagadou, Schmelzer, Guerreiro, Brandt, all these guys are out as well.
Yet, we strongly believe that it won’t change Rose’s game plan, which will for sure include offensive style of play and constant pressure on Bayern throughout the entire match.
Nagelsmann Searching for His First Win With Bayern
Since arriving from RB Leipzig, the talented head coach didn’t win. In five matches so far, he has three losses and two draws, one of them this weekend in Monchengladbach, where Bayern kicked off Bundesliga season with a pale 1-1 performance.
This contest could have gone either way, but we need to say that Monch had many problems with injured players and that the referee didn’t call for an obvious penalty in Borussia’s favor.
Naglesmann has a huge headache because of the defensive unit. Alaba’s and Boateng’s departure created a massive gap, and the consequences are already obvious. Bayern allowed two more goals in four of the past five matches.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich Head to Head Games
These two sides met in the previous two Super Cup editions. Borussia was better in 2019, but Bayern got its revenge one year later.
Currently, the Bavarians are presenting huge trouble for the Millionaires because they’ve defeated the team from Dortmund in five consecutive encounters. The last three were very efficient with five or more goals and with both teams netting.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich Prediction and Pick
This is a no-brainer for any soccer fan because goals are guaranteed. The best possible pick, in our opinion, would be over 1.5 goals in the first halftime, with the odds on that +100. For those who want a bit safer pick, over 3.5 goals is another suggestion, with the odds on that -110. Overall you can play anything that includes high efficiency.
Pick: Over 1.5 HT
