Bayern Munich vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Even in the German Cup, it is so slow on the finish line and accordingly, this week the matches of the semi-final are on the agenda. The anticipated final match for the DFB Cup will take place on Wednesday, April 26 at the Allianz Arena, where FC Bayern München and Borussia Dortmund will compete at 20:45.
Bayern Munich :
Bayern Munich are not really on the right track, as the coach of Carlo Ancelotti in the Champions League in the quarter-final round at Real Madrid had been beaten by a 4-2 win over the past week. Bayern Munich certainly had bad luck with the one or the other refereeing decision, but the bottom line was that after the 2: 1 home game gap in the return of the title defending the out for the team of coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach showed up after the retirement but quickly again militant, also because the Munichers of course necessarily get the double from championship and trophy. But also in the last Bundesliga match FC Bayern München disappointed in the home game against Mainz 05, which is still in the middle of the relegation battle.
In the end, the Munich side only won 2-2 at the end of the season, with Bayern Munich already twice in the first half. In the second half of the season, however, the pressure on the team was high, but ultimately, only 1 goal from Thiago was out and so the record-holder had to be content with a draw in his own stadium. In the DFB Cup, the Munich side had their last time in the quarter-finals with Schalke 04 and there were 2 goals from Robert Lewandoski and a goal from Thiago a 3-0 home defeat and the semi-final.
Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure after the last disappointing results in the Champions League and also in the league with his team. Therefore it would be particularly important that Borussia Dortmund win the final in the Cup on Wednesday. However, it remains to be seen whether BVB will once again be as easy as a few weeks ago with the clear 4: 1 success in the Bundesliga. No longer can play in this season Manuel Neuer and at David Alaba is an issue after his knee injury at the weekend questionable.
Provisional line: Ullreich; Alaba, Boateng, Martinez, Lahm; Alonso, Thiago; Ribery, Muller, Robben; Lewandowski
Dortmund:
The Borussia Dortmund team is currently experiencing a very difficult time. Finally, the recent attack on the team coach definitely does not leave the players behind. In the Champions League was perhaps also for this reason last in the quarter final against the AS Monaco final stop. After the 3: 2 home defeat the team of coach Thomas Tuchel also had to be defeated 3: 1 in the Principality, and thus has been eliminated in the royal class. In the Bundesliga, on the other hand, Borussia Dortmund managed to get a better grip and won 2 victories. At the start of the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, Marco Reus made a 3: 1 victory after a long injury in the third minute. On the last Saturday the Dortmund team had to travel to Borussia Mönchengladbach and there, too, Thomas Tuchel could look forward to a 3: 2 success and important points in the fight for the 3rd table place. Now the journey is in the semi-final of the German Cup to the title defending champion Bayern Munich, after the BVB mid-March in the quarterfinale of this competition against the third-league sportfreunde Lotte effortlessly 3-0.
In a difficult situation the Bayern Munich semi-final is now on the agenda for Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup. Despite the bad events a few days ago, the Borussia seems to be back on the right track. In Munich the coach has to do without the injured Marc Bartra, Andre Schürrle and Jacob Larsen. It is also questionable whether it will be enough for Marco Reus and Sokratis.
Provisional lineup: Bürki; Smelter, Sokratis, Bender, Durm; Weigl; Guerreiro, Castro; Dembele, Reus; Aubameyang
