Can Bayern even without Robbery to find strength?

Bayern has changed quite a bit during the summer break. The most important changes relate to two long-term fixed points in the Munich squad. Both Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben have left the club and leave a hitherto unfilled gap in the attack. That the club is blessed despite the two departures with a squad for which many other club would kill, is mentioned only in passing. The success-spoiled Munich are still in negotiations with the one or other European top players.

So Ivan Perisic to change to Bayern. The planned transfer of Leroy Sane is not fixed because of the serious knee injury and hangs in the balance. Criticism hails from all sides. The Munich squad will probably change in the near future. Above all, the search for replacement on the wings seems not yet completed. In the first game against Hertha BSC coach Niko Kovac will have to rely on Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller. Lewandowski was after the lost Super Cup final against Borussia Dortmund not reluctant and made his displeasure air.

The mood in the team seems tense, the pressure from the outside is high. A successful start would play Bayern in the cards. You go as a clear favorite in the first game of the new season. A victory of the home side is worth the bookmakers odds of 1.20. This clearly shows the role of the favorite. Whether the restlessness within the team will actually affect the match of the champions will be difficult to say. The players are used to dealing with high expectations. A victory of the hosts seems very likely to us.

Is Hertha shocking the German football world?

For the Hertha from the capital for the start of the new season is equal to the record champions on the program. A real test for the new coach Ante Covic, who has been holding the reins since July of this year. The first competitive game of the season in the DFB Cup against the fourth division VfB Eichstätt, mastered the team with flying colors.

Free soccer picks

A superior performance gave the Hertha a clear 1: 5 away win. As expected, the game was over 90 minutes in the hand. The first goal for 1: 3 in minute 52, was the only little downer for the Berlin. Hertha has been able to secure some new players in the summer break. Most expensive newcomer is the coming from Watford, Belgian Dodi Lukebakio. The 21-year-old right winger, who moved to the capital for 18 million, had completed his first assignment for Hertha in the DFB Cup.

Free soccer picks

Hertha was at the end of last season on the 11th place in the table again, just one point behind Fortuna Dusseldorf. Of the 36 completed games, the Berlin 11 could win, 10 matches ended in a draw, the remaining 13 were lost. Against the Munich Hertha could even record a home win in the last season. In the first round Hertha won in Berlin 2-0. The game of the second half in Munich ended with a 1-0 for the home side. The chances of a first-round victory are not very good, but the upset Munich will have their hands full with the guests from the capital. A victory would certainly be surprising, but a success is far from possible. The bookmakers see the chances of Berlin dwindling, as can be seen in quotas at 15.00.

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.

Free soccer picks

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.


Free soccer predictions

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer picks

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.


Free soccer predictions

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer predictions

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Free soccer picks

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.

Key facts - Bayern vs. Hertha tip

  • Bayern have all won the last ten opening matches in the Bundesliga

  • Lewandowski has scored in the past four years always on the first matchday

  • Hertha scored a goal in 2013 in the Allianz Arena

 Free soccer picks

Because the Bayern vs. Hertha Quoten, however, were set very low for a prediction on the "simple" home win and the uncertainties regarding a significant success of Munich at this early stage of the season are more pronounced than in a few weeks, we focus on Bayern's top scorer Robert Lewandowski and his brutal scores.

Free soccer predictions

Since 2015, the Polish striker has met at least once in all four opening matches. Against Cottbus "Lewy" also presented in excellent condition and was very agile. We therefore consider it anything but improbable that Robert Lewandowski will also become the door opener against the "old lady" and make the important 1-0 draw for the hosts.
