Day 21 of the German Bundesliga sees Bayern Munich host Hamburg at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich is currently first on the table with 49 points while Hamburg is currently 12th with 23 points. This is an important match for both sides, since Hamburg is only 4 points above the relegation zone and Bayern needs to win in order to keep distance from Wolfsburg.
Bayern Munich Betting News
Bayern drew one, lost one, and won one game in 2015, which is below their usual standards. Last home match against Schalke was the first time they failed to win in Munich this season, so in this match they will try to begin a new series of wins at home. Thiago Alcantara, Javier Martinez and Philipp Lahm are still sidelined for the home team, and Jerome Boateng is suspended.
Hamburg Betting News
Hamburg started badly after the winter break, losing at home against Koln, but after that they won back-to-back games for the first time this season, so they are in good condition. Also, their last three away games haven’t seen them concede a goal, so their confidence should be sky-high. But, they average only a half a goal scored per away league game this season and Bayern only allowed 3 goals in 10 home games, so things aren’t looking that good. They have 5 players out, Lewis Holtby, Dennis Diekmeier, Cleber, Valon Behrami and Pierre-Michel Lasogga, all injured.
Bayern Munich vs Hamburg Match Prediction
Their match in the first part of season in Hamburg was a goalless draw. Manuel Neuer has flawlessly defended his goal in seven out of ten games his team played at home, and, as it’s been previously mentioned, only once every three games a goal is scored in Munich. Bayern have won eight of their last nine matches against Hamburg in all competitions, scoring over 2.5 goals in seven of them. The safest bet would be to bet on one goal on both sides of the pitch.
