Prediction
Bayern Munich 3, Arminia Bielefeld 1
Money line (ML)
Bayern Munich (-527) has been a bit sluggish during the early days of the new season, so perhaps last week’s break will do it a favor. Bayern must go on the road to face Arminia (+1300), which had been running hot before falling to Werder Bremen last time out on Oct. 3 by a 1-0 score. Bayern has won five straight meetings in this series dating back to Sept. 16, 2006, and eight of the past nine across all competitions. Still, risking more than five times your potential return is not good gambling.
A better play is going with BIELEFELD (+3, or SPREAD 3:0 at -167). Arminia Bielefeld plays a good brand of defense, allowing just two goals in three matches with a zero-goal differential. Munich has 13 goals through three games, and a plus-6, but it will have some issue against Arminia.
New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Bayern Munich returns just $1.90, while a winning bet on Arminia Bielefeld (+1300) fetches a profit of $130.
Over/Under (O/U)
The alternate line of UNDER 4.5 (-228) is a little on the expensive side, but Under 3.5 (-106) is just too risky with Munich’s ability to score. You could play 3.5 lightly, but if you want to be assured of a win, UNDER 4.5 (-228) is the way to go.
