Bayern Munich vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Fritz von Thurn and Taxis is back! The cult commentator celebrates his comeback on Friday at the Bundesliga kick-off between FC Bayern Munich and Hertha BSC on the microphone. Although the meanwhile 69-year-old actually went into well-deserved retirement two years ago, the DAZN streaming service strove for a “one-time return” of the Austrian.
Hyped by Thurn und Taxis, especially in the social media under the hashtag #FritzLove, Thurn und Taxis will act as a co-commentator and, in all likelihood, drive up DAZN’s ratings. Despite all the excitement about the revival of a TV legend is in the first match of the 57th Bundesliga season, of course, the sporting in the center.
The Bavarians go against the Hertha according to the odds as a clear favorite in the match, although the reigning champions so far the proof of a good early form remained guilty. The defeat in the Supercup against Borussia Dortmund followed a lackluster 3-1 victory in the DFB Cup at Energie Cottbus, which revealed quite a few weaknesses in the team of Niko Kovac.
Nevertheless, it can be assumed that the record champion will be able to switch the proverbial switch punctually to the start of the new Bundesliga season and be able to raise at least two courses. Whether the Berliners are in a position to cause a surprise in the Allianz Arena, may be highly doubted, especially since the “old lady” last five times in a row in the Munich football temple without own hit remained.
Because between Bayern and Hertha the tip on a home win due to the extremely low prices does not include any value, we put our hope in the hands or in the feet of Robert Lewandowski, whom we trust again as FCB life insurance to achieve the first goal of the game , The statistics speak on Friday anyway for the Polish top scorer and his FCB.
Bayern Munich :
Anyone who has to compete against Bayern on the first match day has only been able to score points in the rarest of cases in recent years and decades. In the past seven seasons, for example, the record champions always started with a threesome in the new Bundesliga season. This phenomenon has been done in 56 years Bundesliga before no other team.
Even more impressive reads the statistics in opening games. The opening match of a new season since 2002, which officially took place on Friday evening, has never been lost by the reigning champions. In total there were 14 victories (including ten last in a row) and three draws.
From an empirical point of view, a prognosis must therefore be made between Bayern and Hertha in favor of the favored hosts, who, moreover, logically have more individual quality and are also difficult to beat in front of a home crowd. In the past game 2018/2019 Bayern celebrated 13 victories in front of home crowd and lost only once.
Despite all the praise, however, it must also be stated that not everything is gold by far, which shines. For example, the squad still lacks the necessary breadth to join in three weddings.
The transfer of Ivan Perisic could soothe the heated minds, especially in the media, for the time being. Nevertheless, there is still a need for reinforcements, especially on the offensive.
The first two competitive games of the new season have also shown that the Kovac protégés are far from the limit at this early stage. Against Borussia Dortmund lost the record champions not undeserved 0-2 and also the 3-1 at the regional league Energie Cottbus was nothing more than an expectable mandatory victory. So we really do not know, where the red-whites are before the Bundesliga start.
Only Robert Lewandowski does not really ask the question of the current constitution. The four-time top scorer in the top German league was involved in almost all dangerous actions in the penalty area against Cottbus and also marked the 1-0.
We think it is very likely that the Pole underpins his incredible goalie on Friday night with another goal. Between Bayern and Hertha are offered for a tip that Lewandowski scores the first goal of the game, interesting odds of 2.62.
Currently, “Lewy” is one of only three players to have been successful in four seasons in a row on Matchday 1. If the 30-year-old attacker hits the “old lady” once more, he would become the sole record holder in the standings.
Due to injury, Niko Kovac, for whom every duel with his ex-club from the capital is special, has to give up Javi Martinez. In addition, new signing Ivan Perisic is missing as he saw in his last Serie A match for Inter Milan the fifth yellow card and was banned for competition and season for the Bundesliga start.
Compared to the cup encounter in Cottbus, Jerome Boateng, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry are serious options for the starting eleven. Tolisso, Pavard and Sanches would have to give way. The fact is that a pair of wing nippers with Gnabry & Coman are conducive to Robert Lewandowski’s chances of a goal.
Hertha:
Many players as well as the coach of the Berlin Hertha have their very personal connection with Bayern. Ante Covic, successor of Pal Dardai on the bridge in the capital, has been one of the best friends of FCB coach Niko Kovac since common professional times.
The friendly relationship of the two colleagues goes so far that Ante Niko chose as a godfather for his son Maurice, who now also belongs to the squad of the “old lady”, but there since the season of a very large competition is exposed. In particular, the two transfers of Dodi Lukebakio and the only 18-year-old English talent Daishawn Redan have made big eyes in the competition.
The former Duesseldorf Lukebakio can also look back on his own history of Bavaria, because in the previous year, the young Belgian with three goals in the Allianz Arena became a great hero.
In the end, the record champions against the Fortuna had to settle for a 3: 3, whereupon the big “Donnerwetter” began around the Säbener Straße.
That the capital club this summer was even able to make such spectacular and expensive transfers, is primarily related to the entry of the financial investor Lars Windhorst, who made available with immediate effect 125 million euros, which, however, not only in legs, but also to be reinvested in stones.
Nevertheless, the nearly 30 million euros spent are a real house number for Lukebakio, Redan, Boyata, Leuven and the re-lent Grujic. The squad of the “old lady” is deeper and better staffed than last year. Now the pressure on the former reserve coach Ante Covic, who has to cope with the inevitably increased expectations.
Because the record champions in recent years, especially in front of a home crowd, often had an easy game against the Berlin and the BSCler also only at Bundesliga level have to prove that they are indeed stronger than last year, we present before the match Bayern vs.. Hertha’s forecast that the odds on a surprise coup of guests will not be crowned with success.
In preparation, the blue-white showed good results and won against Fenerbahce (2: 1) or Crystal Palace (4: 0). The prelude to the competitive season was at 5: 1 in Eichstätt also on schedule, although not a single signing in the starting eleven stood. Lukebakio came in after all.
This could change on Friday evening, because despite the sublime sovereign performance in the league it is unlikely that the 43-year-old coach on Bayern-Schreck Lukebakio will do without. Lukas Klünter is also a candidate for the starting lineup. Boyata, Dilrosun, Maier, Pekarik and Plattenhardt have to fit due to injury. Behind Mittelstädts use is still a question mark.
