This Saturday, Bayern Munich will face Hamburg at the Allianz Arena in Munich during the third round of the German championship. Let’s look at a bet on the likely outcome of this match.
Match Preview
Bayern Munich has had a strong start this season, winning their first two matches and scoring nine goals, showcasing their attacking strength under Vincent Kompany. They have also been consistent at home, winning 14 of their last 16 Bundesliga games at the Allianz Arena.
However, the absence of Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito could impact the team’s lineup. Despite these losses, with players like Harry Kane and creative midfielders in the squad, Bayern remains the clear favorite.
Hamburg, on the other hand, has struggled since returning to the top flight. They have yet to secure a win or score in their first two games. Their poor away record is concerning, having lost 12 of their last 17 Bundesliga matches on the road.
Moreover, a suspension for Gocholetshvili further weakens their defense. Facing the league’s top-scoring team will make their task even more challenging.
Probable Lineups
- Bayern Munich: Neuer, Stanisic, Tah, Upamecano, Laimer, Luis Diaz, Goretzka, Gnabry, Kimmich, Olise, Kane
- Hamburg: Fernandes, Omari, Torunarigha, El-Fadli, Ramush, Capaldo, Remberg, Muheim, Sahiti, Königsdorffer, Rößing-Lelesiit
