The German Super Cup features two of the strongest team in this country, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. However, we might say that there is just one powerhouse when it comes to German football (and that is Bayern), who is the undisputed ruler here, as well as on the entire continent. Coming up to this match, the Bavarians experienced a shocking defeat in Hoffenheim. Meanwhile, Borussia was knocked out in Augsburg, despite the fact that they dominated the game.
Preview
Bayern Munich (-200) was trashed in Hoffenheim, 4-1, and that was the first defeat for Hansi Flick on Bayern’s bench. Now check out to see when he took over, and you’ll get a clear picture of Bayern’s dominance last season.
The European champions lost this one, but we have to tell you that Flick’s side had numerous missed chances with 2-1 for the hosts and that they wasted a few of them because of certain players’ selfishness.
In the previous two events, Bayern won the European Super Cup against Sevilla in Budapest, after extra-times, 2-1, previously demolishing the big rivals, Schalke, in the season opener at Allianz Arena, 8-0.
Borussia Dortmund (+500) is the reigning German Super Cup champion here, but that isn’t very big of a consolation for the Millionaires and their fans. For the second year in a row, they missed an ideal chance to step up and interrupt Bayern’s dominance, which makes their fanbase pretty frustrated and furious.
After a good start of the season, where they haven’t allowed a goal in two matches, Monchengladbach, 3-0, and Duisburg in DFB Pokal 0-5, Borussia collapsed against Augsburg.
They had the initiative throughout the whole 90 minutes in that match, holding the ball in their possession 71% of time, and recording 16 goal attempts. Then again, the Millionaires showed many flaws, which is why hosts took this event in their favor. We need to say that sometimes Borussia thrills us in different ways. Also, this unit has blackouts characteristic for lower-tier clubs.
