Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund German Super Cup Betting Tips
This has the looks of being a good game as it always does when these German powerhouses meet up. Last season they faced each other four times including in the Super Cup and they shared two wins each from those meetings. Dortmund landed a home win in the league and took a 3-2 win over Bayern in the German Cup. So Dortmund will be in this match and importantly for them, they have managed to keep the prolific Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, their goal-scoring machine. He is a quote of 20/21 in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market for the game and he netted in two of the four games against Bayern last season. You would generally assume that this is a high scoring fixture, but only three of the last nine have seen more than two goals.
Under 2.5 goals at bet365, therefore, is worth a flutter at a price of 13/10. Dortmund’s success over Bayern in the German Cup last season was in the semi finals and then they went on through to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Final. They have won the German Super Cup five times before, which makes them the joint most successful side alongside Bayern Munich in the match. Dortmund have faced Bayern Munich five times in the Super Cup and they have a narrow 3-2 head to head lead from those meetings. It may be worth having a flutter on both teams NOT to score at bet365 which is value at 11/8 and there is a trend as that has happened in four of the last six meetings between the two clubs.
Bayern Munich played out at the International Champions Cup during the summer and they played out a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, beat Chelsea 3-2 and then lost to Inter Milan 2-0. So a mixed bag of action and they lost 3-0 at Anfield against Liverpool in a midweek friendly too. They have captured James Rodriguez on loan from Real Madrid over the summer as well as giving Kingsley Coman a permanent deal. Other than that, they are pretty much as they were last season and it’s not a bad thing as they are packed with talent including Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller. They are 4/6 and 11/8 respectively in the anytime goalscorer market for the Super Cup. Bayern are 4/7 to lift the trophy with Dortmund at 5/4.
