Bundesliga: Bayern Munich vs. Fortuna Dusseldorf Betting Preview, Odds and Prediction

Bayern Munich is near another Bundesliga title, their 8th consecutive. They will have the perfect opportunity to secure the same against Fortuna Dusseldorf this Sunday. The guests are struggling to stay in the league and are currently in the position, which leads to the play-out. With a point here, they would make a massive step towards survival, but that is almost impossible.

Preview

Bayern Munich (-900) is probably the new champion. Even if they don’t win this one, the Bavarians defeated Borussia Dortmund on the road last week, putting an end on all the hopes the Millionaires had. Simply they showed that they have a better team.

When looking at the overall state of the hosts, they are excellent since the return posting three wins keeping clean sheets in two of them. Overall, when counting the matches prior to the hiatus, six in the previous seven events ended with Bayern keeping its net intact.

The only match played at Allianz Arena after the return, was against Eintracht Frankfurt, and they won that 5-2.

Fortuna (+1900) is a massive underdog. Their win here would be equal to Steph Curry missing three straight free throws in a row. We’re kidding a little bit, but seriously, even the guests themselves aren’t very optimistic before this road trip.

After five draws in a row, the team from Dusseldorf finally won last week, and they defeated the pale Schalke with 2-1, making a big step towards safety. They are now just one point behind Mainz, who is above the red line, which is superb comparing it to two weeks ago.

Five of the last six road games Fortuna played were with both teams to score.

Latest News

Bayern is without Niklas Sule (cruciate ligament), Philippe Coutinho (ankle), Corentin Tolisso, and Lars Lukas Mai (ankle). Thiago Alcantara probably won’t play due to his strain injury.

On the other side, Bernard Tekpetey has a thigh injury and is not safe for this event. Goalkeeper Zackary Thomas Steffen is out, while Dawid Kownacki’s knee injury is healed and he is back in training.

Head to Head Matches

Just once in the last five head to head matches played in Munich did we saw Bayern netting fewer than three times. The champs won on three occasions, and two games ended with a draw, with a goal-difference of 16:8.

The first match this season ended in Bayern’s favor. Hansi Flick’s side rolled over Fortuna with 0-4. Kimmich, Tolisso, Gnabry, and Coutinho were the scorers.

Prediction

Anything else than Bayern’s convincing win here would be a sensation. The hosts are in a good mood following a victory in Dortmund, and the morale in the locker room is pretty high.

Bayern to win with at least three-goal margin is at 3/4, and that is a solid offer. But we have one even better. The hosts to score two or more goals in the opening 45 minutes. The odds on this one are at -110, and this is phenomenal. We all know that Bayern has one of the best attacks in Europe, while on the other side, Fortuna averages two goals per match in Bundesliga when playing on the road.

Pick: Bayern over 1.5 HT -110
