Lazio had four shots on goal, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. On Saturday, Lazio faced off against Cagliari and they were able to secure the 3-1 victory. Nicolo Rovella is back from suspension and they are going to need him to be a key here. Patric is still dealing with a shoulder injury and he’s not going to be able to go here. In this game, Lazio is going to need the defense to step up here and really put the pressure on Bayern Munich. 

Bayern Munich Betting Preview

Bayern Munich finished in first place in Group A putting up 16 points. In the last Group Stage game of the UEFA Champions League, they faced off against Manchester United and they were able to secure a 1-0 victory. Even though Bayern has played well, they really looked awful in the last game. They faced off against Leverkusen and they scored zero goals while the defense gave up three goals. Harry Kane has found a ton of success in the Champions League, and they are going to need him to be an x-factor here. Bryan Zaragoza is dealing with an illness and it’s unclear if he’s going to able to go here. 

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Betting Prediction

Bayern Munich struggled in the last game, but they are going to bounce back here. I am not sold on this Lazio defense and they are going to really struggle here. Bayern Munich has a ton of offensive power and they are going to jump out to an early lead here. Lazio is going to have no answer here, and this is going to be a comfortable victory by Bayern Munich. Back Bayern Munich on the money line.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Previous Matchup

PSG Betting Preview

On Saturday, PSG faced off against Nantes, and they were able to secure a 4-2 victory. Lionel Messi scored in the 12th minute, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. The defense did give up two goals and that needs to be cleaned up here. PSG had 67 percent of the possession and 11 shots on target. Neymar is getting ready to have an ankle injury, and that means he’s going to be out the rest of the season. Marco Verratti was suspended for the last game, but he is back, and he will be able to play in this game. 

Shane’s Free Pick

PSG doesn’t have Neymar, but this team still has plenty in attack. Bayern Munich has some injury concerns with the back line, and that is going to let them down in this game. Look for Bayern Munich to score at least three goals, and that will be the difference here. Back Bayern Munich on the money line.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Odds

Bayern Munich sits as the slight favorite sitting at +155 while Paris St-Germain is the underdog sitting at +160. The total goals here sit at 3.5 with the over paying out at +135 if it hits.

PSG Betting Prediction

PSG finished in second place in Group H picking up 14 points. PSG has really struggled heading into this game losing two games in a row. Two games ago against Marseille, they were defeated 2-1 and in the last game against Monaco, they were defeated 3-1. Warren Zaire-Emery scored in the 39th minute, but it wasn’t enough as they were defeated. They gave up a goal in the 4th minute and it all seemed to go downhill from there. PSG had 59 percent of the possession but they were outshot 9-2. Lionel Messi didn’t play in the last game but that was just to make sure he was fully healthy for this game. Kylian Mbappe is also back in training, but he is still a doubt for this game. 

Bayern Munich Betting Prediction

On the other side of this matchup is Bayern Munich who finished in first place in Group C picking up 18 points. Bayern Munich has played well heading into this game winning three games in a row. In the last game against VFL Bochum, the offense scored three goals on the way to victory. Thomas Muller opened up the scoring in the 41st minute. Yann Sommer is with the team and he is going to get the start in this game. If Bayern Munich is going to find success in this game, he’s going to need to be good here. Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui, Lucas Hernandez and Sadio Mane are all dealing with injury issues and won’t be able to go in this game. Make sure to check out the preview for the other game on Tuesday between AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur. 

Shane’s Free Pick

There is so much offensive firepower by each team, and there is going to be no shortage of scoring by either team in this game. I don’t trust Yann Sommer in the net for Bayern Munich and he’s going to be like a leaky faucet back there. Look for both teams to score two or three goals and this is going to be an easy over. Back the over 3.5 goals to cash.

Barcelona didn’t have any shots on goal. On Saturday, against Mainz, Bayern Munich secured a 6-2 victory. Bouna Sarr, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sané, and Thomas Müller are all dealing with injuries, and they won’t be able to play in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Inter Milan, who sits in second place in the group having picked up 10 points. Last Wednesday, Inter Milan faced off against Viktora Plzen, and they were defeated 4-0. Edin Dzeko scored in the 42nd and 66th minute. Inter had 64 percent of the possession and nine shots on target. Dalbert, Marcelo Brozovic, and Gabriel Brazao are all dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. In this game, they need to be the team that scores the first goal. 

Inter has played strong heading into this game, and they are going to find a way to pull the upset here. Look for Bayern Munich to score any goals and that is going to be the difference as Inter Milan gets the job done. It might not be the prettiest game, they are going to find a way. Back Inter Milan to pull the upset.

When these two teams faced off on September 13th it was Bayern that secured the 2-0 victory. Lucas Hernandez scored in the 50th minute and Leroy Sané scored in the 54th minute to secure the win. Bayern Munich had 46 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Barcelona had 54 percent of the possession and four shots on target. 

Bayern Munich comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the group having picked up 12 points. Bayern’s last Champion League game came against Viktoria Plzen, and they were able to secure a 4-2 victory. All four goals for Bayern Munich were scored in the first 35 minutes. On Saturday, they faced off against Hoffenheim and were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernandez, Leroy Sané, and Bouna Sarr are all dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Barcelona, who sits in 3rd place in the group having picked up only four points. Barcelona’s last Champions League game came against Inter Milan, and that game ended in a 3-3 draw. Robert Lewandowski scored in the 82nd and 92nd minutes to secure the win. On Sunday, Barcelona faced off against the Atletic Club, and they were able to secure a 4-0 victory. Barcelona had 66 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Ronald Araujo is still recovering from surgery, and he won’t be able to go in this game. Hector Bellerin is expected to move into the starting lineup at right back. 

This should be the highest-scoring game of the day. Bayern beat Barcelona 2-0 the last time these two teams played, but I expect Barcelona is going to find offensive success in this game. Look for Barcelona to score at least two goals also, and this game is going to go over the total.

When these two teams faced off last Tuesday, it was Bayern that were able to secure the 5-0 victory. Leroy Sané had a big game, scoring in the 7th minute and 50th minute, and that paced them to victory. Bayern had 71 percent of the possession and 13 shots on target. Viktoria Plzen really struggled, finishing with only three shots on target and 29 percent of the possession. In this game, the Viktoria Plzen defense is going to need to be a lot better. 

Bayern Munich comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the standings having picked up nine points. Bayern Munich faced off against Dortmund over the weekend and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Bayern had 57 percent of the possession, but they were out shot 6-3 and that led to the defeat. Leroy Sané scored in the 53rd minute, and it’s clear he is playing with a lot of confidence right now. Bayern Munich are dealing with some key injuries including to Matthijs de Ligt, Lucas Hernandez, Alphonso Davies, and Bouna Sarr. With so many injuries to the defense, they are going to be very shorthanded for this game with the defense. 

On the other side of this matcuup is Viktoria Plzen, who sits in 4th place in the group, having picked up zero points. On Saturday, Viktoria Plzen faced off against Mlada Boleslav, and they secured the 2-0 victory. They currently have a four-point lead in the Czech First League. For this game, they will still be without Pavel Bucha, who still has two games left on his suspension to serve. Peter Pejsa is also dealing with an injury, and he won’t be available to be selected in this game. 

Even with all the injuries to the Bayern Munich defense, I still think they find success in this game. Viktoria Plzen doesn’t have enough offensive talent to really test this team, and that will be the difference here. Bayern might not score five goals like they did in the last game, but they will score at least three. Back Bayern Munich -2.5 to cash.

Bayern Munich currently sits in 1st place in the standings, having picked up six points so far this season. In Bayern’s last game came in the Champions League came against Barcelona, and they looked impressive coming away with a 2-0 victory. They scored goals in the 50th and 54th minutes on the way to the victory. They had 13 shots and four shots on target, and two found the back of the net. Bayern played against Leverkusen on Friday, and they were able to secure the 4-0 victory. Muller and Kimmich are both dealing with COVID-19, and they aren’t going to be able to go in this game. Mathys Tel is someone that could take the place of Muller in this game. In this game, the defense is going to need to be good. 

On the other side of this matchup is Viktoria Plzen, and they sit in last place in the standings having picked up zero points. Their last Champions League game came against Inter Milan, and they were defeated 2-0. They only managed 28 percent of the possession and one shot on target, and they are going to need to find to put a little pressure on the offense in this game. Pavel Bucha picked up a red card in that game, and he won’t be able to go in this game. On Saturday they faced off against Bohemians 1905 and that game ended in a 1-1 draw. In this game, they are expected to play a three at the back formation to try and at least pick a point here. 

Munich is an elite offensive team, and this Viktoria Plzen defense isn’t very good. This is a game where I expect Munich to score at least four goals, but it wouldn’t be shocking to me if they scored six or seven goals. Viktoria Plzen isn’t going to get on the board, and this will be an easy victory for Bayern. Back Bayern Munich -3.5 to cash.

Barcelona is tied for first place in Group C having picked up three points. Barcelona opened up their Champions League with a 5-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the first game. Robert Lewandowski was the star of the show and finished the game with three goals. Barcelona had 77 percent of the possession and 11 shots on target. Barcelona faced off against Cadiz on Saturday, and they were able to secure the 4-0 victory. Sergi Roberto missed the last game, but he is expected to be available to go in this game, although it’s unclear if he is going to be included in the starting lineup. It appears the rest of the squad is healthy, and this should mostly be a full-strength team. 

On the other side of this matchup is Bayern Munich, who is tied for first place in the standings in the group, having picked up three points. Bayern opened up their Champions League against Inter Milan, and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Leroy Sané scored a goal in the 20th minute, and Danilo D’Ambroiso also added a goal in the 66th minute. Bayern Munich doesn’t have a ton of injury issues coming into this game, but they will be without Kingsley Coman and Bouna Sarr who are both still dealing with injuries. Mane is also expected to be moved to center-back. In this game, the offense is going to need to be good.

It’s hard to bet against Bayern at home, and I’m not about to do it here. Look for Barcelona to struggle to score against their defense and that is going to be the difference here as Bayern is going to get the job done. Bayern might only score one goal, but it will be enough to secure the victory. Back Bayern Munich on the money line.

Inter Milan comes into this game sitting in 8th place in Serie A having picked up nine points this season. In the last game they faced off against AC Milan, and the offense scored two goals, but the defense gave up three, and that led to the loss. They actually scored the first goal, but they allowed three unanswered goals and that led to the defeat. Inter has scored 11 goals this season, while their defense has given up eight goals. Lautaro Martínez has been the top player, scoring three goals and adding another assist. Romelu Lukaku is still dealing with a thigh injury, and it’s not expected that he is going to be able to go in this game. Henrikh Mkhitaryan looks like he is 100 percent heading into this one, but he is expected to come off the bench here. 

On the other side of this matchup is Bayern Munich, who currently sits in 3rd place in the Bundesliga having picked up 11 points. For most teams, that would be good, but they can’t feel good about where they are right now. In the last game against Union Berlin, Bayern only managed one goal and that led to the 1-1 draw. Bayern has scored 17 goals total, while their defense has given up three goals. Sadio Mané has been a welcome addition to the team, scoring three goals. Leon Goretzka is back from a knee injury and could start in this game. In this game, they need to be the team to push numbers forward to really try to put the pressure on the Inter defense. 

Even though Inter is at home, they will be very happy with a point, and I expect they are going to go into a defensive shape here. Their defense is going to be good, and it’s going to allow them to stay in this game. Inter might not do enough, but they are going to do enough for at least a draw. Back Inter Milan +0.5.

As I’ve mentioned, Bayern has won another title, they have scored 93 goals so far this season, while they have conceded only 33 goals, which is strange because their defense has been very bad this season. Lewandowski of course is the leading goalscorer for Bayern with 34 goals, while Muller has added 17 assists. Sarr is now the only injured player for Bayern. I think in these last 2 games the coach will give a chance to some of the younger players, and players who haven’t played a lot this season, and I get it, this is how they rack up experience. Bayern has been dominant in Bundesliga for a while now, they have also had some great results in the Champions League, but I hope someone takes them down in Germany next season.

Stuttgart is now without a win in their last 5 games, and as I’ve mentioned, they are still in the relegation zone, but in the playoff spot. If Stuttgart wants to get out of the relegation zone, they need to win both of their last games, and they need to hope Hertha doesn’t win any of theirs. Stuttgart has been terrible this season, on both ends, and the injuries they have had were a huge part of that for them. Of the 37 goals Stuttgart has scored so far this season, Mavropanos and Kalajdzic have scored 4 goals, while Sosa has added 7 assists. Stuttgart still has a lot of injuries, and honestly, I think only dumb luck will save them this season. there have been a lot of problems in Stuttgart this season, and the biggest reward for them would be to stay in the league, and yes, they can do that through the playoffs, but they might get lucky and stay in the league by getting out of the relegation zone.

Stuttgart hasn’t had a lot of success against Bayern in the past, and despite Bayern not needing anything here, that doesn’t mean they will just give up. If Stuttgart is even going to beat Bayern, it will be in a game like this, but I will just take the goals in this one.

Mainz is now without a win in their last 5 games, while they have 3 losses in those 5 games. The good news for Mainz is they don’t have to worry about anything because they are very far away from the relegation zone. Both offensively and defensively, Mainz has been solid this season, but their current bad run has cost them the Conference League spot for next season. Burkhardt is now the leading goalscorer for Mainz with 10 goals. Onisiwo has added 7 assists. There are few injuries in Mainz as well. I know Mainz was hoping to see Europe next season, and they definitely are good enough to get here, but they need a bit more focus. I think if Mainz can bring a few more competitive players to their team, they will be even better next season, and I think they might qualify for the Conference League.

As I’ve mentioned, Bayern has won their 10^th title in Bundesliga in a row, and they have accomplished that by beating Borussia Dortmund last weekend. As of right now, Bayern has 75 points, they have scored 92 goals while conceding only 30 goals in 31 games. Bayern will aim to score 100 goals or more this season, and just by looking at their schedule, I think it’s likely they will score over 100 goals. I know conceding only 30 goals is a nice accomplishment, but Bayern’s defense was not good this season, they have allowed too many chances, and it cost them a lot of points, and probably the Champions League spot. Lewandowski has scored 33 goals so far this season, but he wasn’t practicing earlier this week, and he might not be in the lineup for this game. Gnabry has added 13 goals, while Muller has 18 assists. Bayern has been very dominant over the last few seasons, they have won the Champions League, and they have won all the German competitions, but I hope their dominance stops next season because it’s getting boring.

Mainz hasn’t had a lot of success against Bayern in the past, and they probably won’t win this one, but I think they will score. Bayern will probably mix their lineup a bit here, which is the opportunity for Mainz. I will take goals on both sides.

Bayern is now on a 4-game winning streak in Bundesliga, but the two games they haven’t won have cost them a spot in the Champions League semifinals. As I’ve mentioned, Bayern is only 1 win away from the title, and I think they will get it, if not here then next weekend. Bayern is also getting close to scoring 100 goals in a season, and they now have 89 goals. Of those 89 goals, Lewandowski has scored 32 goals for Bayern, while Gnabry has added 12 goals. Thomas Muller has added 17 assists. The injury list has shrunk for Bayern, but too bad it’s too late for the Champions League. I’m sure Bayern is happy to win another Bundesliga title, but they have won so many of those that it barely has any value anymore. The Champions League was Bayern’s goal this season, but maybe they will have more luck next season.

Borussia Dortmund is now on a 2-game winning streak during which they have scored 8 goals, while they have conceded only 1 goal. Borussia will remain in this 2^nd place, they have had their ups and downs this season, but ultimately, 2^nd place is what they deserved. Dortmund has scored 76 goals so far this season, and Haaland is their leading goalscorer with 18 goals and 8 assists. Reus has added 9 goals and 9 assists. The injury list is incredibly long for Borussia Dortmund, and I really hope that won’t have too big of an impact on their game in this match. Haaland will be leading Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season, but it’s still unknown where he will go. The defense was the biggest issue for Borussia this season and the fact that Haaland was injured a few times which reduced their offensive firepower. We know Borussia is already working on signing a couple of defenders, and maybe then they can be a bigger competition to Bayern.

This is the biggest matchup in Germany, and they are always fun. We usually see a lot of goals in this matchup, and I think we will see them here as well.

Arminia is now in terrible form, they have won only 1 of their last 9 games, while not winning any of their last 6 games in a row. During that 6-game streak, Arminia has lost 5 games while one game has ended in a draw. with 26 points, Arminia is now in 17^th place, and theoretically, they still have a chance at getting out of the relegation zone because they are only 3 points away from Hertha. Defensively, Arminia is a decent team with only 43 conceded goals so far, but their offense is not doing much of anything this season. Arminia has scored only 23 goals in 29 games, and that is simply not enough to win points. Okugawa is the leading goalscorer for Arminia with 8 goals. Wimmer has added 6 assists. Klos and Brunner are both injured. I don’t think anyone has expected something more from Arminia, but if they can work just a little bit harder for the rest of the season, they might just stay in the league.

As I’ve mentioned, Bayern has gotten knocked out of the Champions League. In the first leg, Bayern has lost 1-0, but they were pretty dominant. In the second leg, Bayern was even more dominant, and they have scored a goal in the second half which would have gotten them into the overtime. Unfortunately for Bayern, Villarreal has had a brilliant counterattack in the 88^th minute, and they have tied the score, which was very bad for Bayern. In Bundesliga, Bayern is untouchable, they are at the top of the table with 6 points more than Borussia, and they will most likely win the title. Sarr, Tolisso, and Sule are all injured for Bayern. Lewandowski has 32 goals to his name in Bundesliga this season. the mood in Bayern is not great right now, far from it, and players are not happy with the coach, there are a lot of problems in the locker room, which is something Bayern will need to work on in the offseason.

Bayern is the superior team, by far, and I think they will get the win, but as usual, it’s hard to find any value. Arminia lacks everything in their team. I will need to dig deep to get a nice price here, but I will find something.

Bayern hasn’t lost a lot of games lately, only 1 since February, but they have scored only 1 goal in their last 2 games. In their last game against Augsburg at home, Bayern was creating chances, but they scored only 1 goal, and they won that match 1-0. As far as their Champions League game goes, Bayern was shot out in the first leg of this matchup, and that is not an easy task. Overall, Bayern is one of the best teams in the world, and even though their defense is a bit sloppy this season, they can outscore any team out there. Lewandowski is the leading goalscorer for Bayern with 12 goals, while Sane has added 6 goals and 6 assists in the Champions League. Chupo-Moting, Sarr, Tolisso, and Sule are all injured. As I’ve mentioned, Bayern can outscore anyone, and they will need to be on their best in the attacking end in this game, otherwise, they might not qualify for the semifinals.

Villarreal is an outstanding team on the defensive end, but not so much on the road. Villarreal is in solid form, and they have one of the best coaches for these clutch games, but I don’t think that a 1-0 win from the first leg will be enough for Villarreal to advance. Alberton Moreno is the only injured player for Villarreal right now. With 6 scored goals, Danjuma is the leading goalscorer for Villarreal in the Champions League, while Moreno has added 2 goals and 3 assists. Villarreal is playing well at the moment, they are solid on both ends, but they won’t have an easy game here. Villarreal hasn’t been scoring much lately, and the fact they haven’t used any more of their chances in the first leg might cost them a lot here. Yes, Villarreal is defending really well, but Bayern is attacking even more at home. Villarreal will need to score at least 1 goal, here, and even that might not be enough.

I think this will be a fun game, and Villarreal is definitely capable of scoring goals in this one. I think Bayern will get the win here because they are an experienced team, and they were in this type of situation before. I’m taking Bayern and goals.

Villarreal has now lost their last 2 LaLiga games in a row, but they have had an outstanding performance against Juventus in the previous stage of the Champions League. During this 2-game losing streak, Villarreal hasn’t scored a single goal, and they will do everything to break that bad streak. Danjuma is the leading goalscorer for Villarreal with 5 goals, while Moreno added 2 goals and 3 assists. In LaLiga, Villarreal is pretty far away from the Champions League spot, which means if they want to compete in this competition next season as well, they need to win it now, and that is highly unlikely. I love Villarreal, I love the way they are playing, and it certainly would be nice if they qualified for the semifinals of the Champions League.

Bayern has scored 85 goals so far in Bundesliga, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they reach 100 by the end of this season. Defensively, Bayern has improved, but they are still not good enough. Bayern is now also undefeated in their last 8 games, and they have beaten Freiburg in their last game. As far as the Champions League goes, Bayern has played 1-1 against Salzburg in the first leg, but they have destroyed them 7-1 in the second leg. When it comes to scoring goals, there is no one better than Lewandowski, but a few of them are close. Lewandowski has scored 12 goals in 8 Champions League games, while Sane has added 6 goals and 6 assists. On paper, Bayern is an excellent defensive team, but they are making some stupid mistakes in their games, and they have conceded a lot of goals because of it. The good news for Bayern is they have enough offense to compensate for the lack of defense, but they won’t be able to do that against every team they face.

Villarreal and Bayern have met twice in the past, and Bayern has won both of those games. If anything is helping Villarreal to do well in this matchup it’s their defense, otherwise, they are done. Bayern can score a ton, and so can Villarreal, so it only makes sense to take the goals in this one.

Freiburg is undefeated in their last 7 games while winning 4 of those 7 games. In their last game before the international break, Freiburg has tied with Furth. With 45 points, Freiburg is now in 5^th place, which is the same number of points as Leipzig has above them. Defensively, Freiburg has been impressive this season with only 29 conceded goals, while their offense has also done a great job with 43 scored goals. I would say Freiburg’s schedule is on the easier side for the rest of the season, but they are also playing in the DFB Pokal semifinals where they will face HSV in a couple of weeks. I think Freiburg is a great team, well balanced, and with a few more additions to their team, they could be fighting for the top 3 in Bundesliga next season.

As I’ve mentioned, Bayern is playing in the Champions League next week, and they will be facing a solid Villarreal team, but they need to deal with Freiburg first. In the Bundesliga standings, Bayern is at the top, they are by far the best offensive team in the league, but their defense has been shaky this season. Bayern has 63 points, which is 6 points more than Borussia Dortmund has. I’m pretty sure Bayern would trade the Bundesliga title for the Champions League, but I think they have enough quality to compete in both and win both. Lewandowski is of course the leading goalscorer for Bayern with 31 goals, while Thomas Muller has added 16 assists. There are still a few injuries in Bayern, but the list is getting shorter. With the offense they have, Bayern can afford to relax a bit on the defensive end, but it has cost them this season already. I think Bayern will still win Bundesliga despite dropping some points lately, but their main goal is the Champions League, and they are one of the biggest favorites to win it.

The trends are heavily on Bayern’s side here, but both teams are in excellent form, at least they were before the international break. I think Freiburg can score here, but so can Bayern. I see goals in this one.

In the Champions League, Bayern has drawn Villarreal in the quarterfinals, and despite them being the superior offensive team, Villarreal is great when it comes to defending. As far as Bundesliga goes, Bayern is still at the top, but they are now only 4 points above Borussia Dortmund. Both offensively, and defensively, Bayern is the best team in the league, which seems strange because they are conceding quite a few goals this season. of the 77 goals Bayern has scored, Lewandowski has 29, while Gnabry has added 10 goals. Muller is still the leading assistant with 17 assists. Goretzka, Davies, Sule, and Pavard are all injured, which means Bayern will once again struggle defensively. I think Bayern has an easier schedule than Borussia Dortmund, and that could be crucial for them in this title race, but I also think Bayern might sacrifice a game or two because of the Champions League.

Union Berlin is far away from the relegation zone, and they are a solid team on both ends, but they have been in a bit of a slump lately. With 38 points, 33 scored goals, and 34 conceded goals, Union is now in 8^th place in the Bundesliga standings. Apart from Bundesliga, Union is still playing in the DFB Pokal, and they will face Leipzig in the semifinals. In their last 2 games, Union has scored only 1 goal while conceding 2 goals. Even though their offense could be a bit better, Union Berlin has had a solid season overall so far, and I think that with a few more additions to their team, they could be competitive for the Europa League. Endo is injured for Union Berlin, while Promel is suspended. Awoniyi is the leading goalscorer or Union with 11 goals, while Giesselmann has added 5 assists. The schedule in Bundesliga is solid for Union, but I think they are more focused on the DFP Pokal, a competition they could potentially win, ad I think they will go for it.

We have seen some high-scoring and some low-scoring games in this matchup, but I think this will be a high-scoring one. Bayern missing some defenders, and they are not good at defending this season, but they can always score 3-4 goals. I will take goals in this one.

As I’ve mentioned, Hoffenheim is on a nice winning streak during which they have scored 7 goals, but what is more important is that Hoffenheim has conceded only 2 goals during that streak, and they have even kept 2 clean sheets. Bebou is still the leading goalscorer for Hoffenheim with 7 goals, while Rutter has added 6 goals. Raum has 8 assists. The injury list is long for Hoffenheim, and that could be a big problem in this game. Thanks to their amazing streak, Hoffenheim is now in 4^th place, which is the Champions League spot, and I hope they can stay there. Hoffenheim is playing great right now, they are scoring a solid number of goals, but their defense isn’t that great despite them not conceding a lot lately.

Bayern is undefeated in their last 5 games, while their draw against Leverkusen last weekend has killed pretty much every bettor out there. In that game against Salzburg in the Champions League, it was nothing more but a training session for Bayern, and they have won that game 7-1. Bayern is still the best team in the league, they are still at the top of the table, and they are slowly getting those injured players back. Goretzka, Davies, and Tolisso are out for this game. Lewandowski has scored 28 goals for Bayern so far in Bundesliga. Muller has added 7 goals and 17 assists. Bayern will be playing against Liverpool I think in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and that will be a fantastic matchup, but at the moment, Bayern is focused on Bundesliga, on scoring goals, and on winning games.

Hoffenheim is no stranger to beating Bayern, especially at home, and for that reason, I think this will be a great game. We have two high-scoring teams, we have two teams in great form, and I think we will see goals in this one. With Bayern’s defense shaky this season, especially on the road, I think Hoffenheim might do something here, but I will stick to goals.

Bayern is undefeated in their last 4 games, but they have 2 draws during this stretch, and the one against Leverkusen was painful this past weekend. Bayern has gotten ahead in this game, and they were dominant, they created chances, but once again they couldn’t score. The final score of that game was 1-1. Luckily for Bayern, they are still at the top of Bundesliga, and they can focus on this game, but unless we see some goals from them, they will have a very hard match. Lewandowski is the leading goalscorer for Bayern in the Champions League with 9 goals, while Sane added 5 goals. Davies, Goretzka, Neuer, and Tolisso are all injured. So much offensive firepower on one team is rare, and it’s rarer that it works, but Bayern has to find their way back to that type of football, and when they do, they will be unstoppable.

As I’ve mentioned, Salzburg is a great offensive team, the best in Austria by far, but they are also the best team, and they are at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga with a pretty big advantage. Defensively, Salzburg is solid, which they showed in the first leg of this matchup. Okafor and Adeyemi are leading goalscorers for Salzburg in the Champions League with 3 goals each. There are a few injuries in Salzburg, and Okafor is one of them, but the good news for Salzburg is they have a lot of talent on that team to replace Okafor. I don’t think Salzburg intends to sit back in this game because if they do there will be hell to pay. The longer this game goes on without Salzburg scoring a goal, the harder it will be for them to contain Bayern and their possession, and that is when mistakes happen. Salzburg will attack, they will try to score, and I think they will succeed.

The first leg was fun, we saw great football, and we saw 2 goals, but there should have been more. Bayern is the better team here, but they can’t underestimate Salzburg because they are capable of scoring multiple goals in this matchup.

Bayern is still at the top of the table in Bundesliga, and they now have an 8-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund. As I’ve mentioned, Bayern is playing against Salzburg in the Champions League next week, and they will need to be at their best if they want to get a positive result out of it. With 75 scored goals so far this season, Bayern is the best offensive team in the league, by far, while their defense is also among the best in the league with 26 conceded goals. Lewandowski is the leading goalscorer for Bayern with 28 goals, and that will not change any time soon. Gnabry has added 10 goals. Muller has 17 assists. Bayern has some injury problems right now, and they also will miss Hernandez who is suspended. I don’t think Bayern can defend properly this season, but with an offense like this, they don’t have to.

Leverkusen has won 5 of their last 6 games, and they have been scoring like crazy lately. Thanks to their great form, Leverkusen is now in 3^rd place in the standings, and they have scored 63 goals. Leverkusen’s defense on the other hand is not good, and they have conceded 39 goals so far. Unfortunately for Leverkusen, they were not lucky in the Europa League draw, and they will be playing against Atalanta next week. Schick is leading Leverkusen with 20 goals, while Diaby added 12 goals and 6 assists. Unfortunately for Leverkusen, Schick is injured, and Bellarabi and Lunaev as well. The good news for Leverkusen is their Bundesliga schedule is not too hard, and with a bit of luck, they could actually get to the second spot. I love this Leverkusen team, they are young, they are talented, and they are not afraid to play against the best teams.

Its’ plain and simple, I see goals in this one. We have two high goalscoring teams facing off, and it can only end with a lot of goals. This one could go either way with the form these two teams are playing in, but I will stick to goals.
