Bayern Munich – Record German champs rocking?

On the back of a potentially character-defining week, Julian Nagelsmann will be relieved to get his troops back to Allianz Arena where they can hopefully regroup after failing to win either of their last two competitive contests. In Bochum last weekend they were blown away inside 45 minutes, falling to a shock 4-2 defeat. That, coupled with Dortmund banking maximum points in Berlin, means their lead is down to six.

Things didn’t improve to any great length in midweek. Kingsley Coman rescuing a 1-1 draw late on in the first leg of their Champions League tie away in Salzburg. Work to do on both fronts then, which isn’t ideal as Nagelsmann would have pencilled in this fixture – against the division’s bottom side – for squad rotation. Can he afford to do that now, though, when regaining momentum must surely be the priority?

Key Stat: Losing 4-2 away to Bochum in their latest league outing marked a first loss versus promoted opposition in 16 Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich, who last lost back-to-back games against promoted sides in 1997.

Greuther Furth – Away inadequacies hampering relegation revival?

If the Bundesliga leaders are faltering then what do we make of Greuther Furth’s spectacular turnaround? Having collected one point through the first fourteen rounds, they now have twelve from their last eight encounters (W3 D3 L2). Make no mistake, though, their predicament is still perilous. The Cloverleaves needing to bridge a nine-point deficit on Augsburg who occupy the relegation play-off.

For a team that looked dead and buried not that long ago, it has been an admirable response to overwhelming adversity from Stefan Leitl’s men. There is a caveat, however. This revival is built on results back at their Sportpark Ronhof. Away from home Greuther Furth remain winless all season, collecting one point from eleven games having been thumped 4-1 in their latest away outing by Wolfsburg.

Key Stat: Greuther Furth have conceded at least 12 more than any side in the Bundesliga this term, with 40 of the 57 shipped coming away from home. Their defence has been breached two or more times in all 11 Bundesliga away matches.

Bayern Munich Vs Greuther Furth Betting Advice

Despite the remarkable resurgence of Greuther Furth, it is impossible not to fear the worst for what is still the Bundesliga’s bottom side. Just the 39 points split the teams ahead of kick-off at Allianz Arena, where Bayern boast the strongest home record in the league this season, winning nine of eleven while averaging three goals a game. Rather ominously, Furth are giving up 3.64 goals on average for every away outing.

 

Bayern Munich Vs Greuther Furth – Key Facts:

  • A 4-2 loss away to Bochum in the league and 1-1 draw away to FC Salzburg in the Champions League means Bayern Munich are looking to avoid a third successive winless game for the first time since October 2018.
  • This fixture pits top versus bottom in Germany. Bayern have won nine of eleven Bundesliga home games this term; Greuther Further are winless in all eleven away league games (D1 L10).
  • Bayern haven’t kept a clean sheet for four straight games. Meanwhile, Greuther Furth are on a four-game run scoring at least once, netting in the first 45 minutes each time.

 

The simple bet then would be backing Bayern to run riot. The hosts should be in determined mood to atone for what has been, by their high standards, a disastrous week. The record champions have respond to all three previous league defeats this season by winning the very next game, usually in emphatic style, but after four games without a clean sheet, conceding eight, I think they’re vulnerable defensively.
