Prediction
Bayern Munich 3, Union Berlin 0
Moneyline (ML)
Bayern Munich (-500) is way too expensive to bet on the match result (straight up) line, so look to get creative. BAYERN TO WIN TO NIL (-106) is a much better bet assuming they’re able to keep the clean sheet.
In addition, Bayern Munich F Robert Lewandowski is back after a shinbone injury. He has posted 39 goals in 33 appearances for Bayern Munich across all levels during the 2019-20 campaign. He has special props, and taking LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE WITH A HEADER (+250) is a nice play, while LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE ANYTIME (-250) is a much more expensive proposition, but still worth a play.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Bayern to win to nil (-106) returns a profit of $9.50, while Lewandowski to score with a header (+250) fetches a profit of $25 on a $10 bet.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-228) is rather expensive, but a good play considering how explosive Bayern Munich can be offensively, and they’ll likely do most of the heavy lifting in this one. Berlin is rather leaky defensively, too, so that helps the Over chances. If you’re really feeling Munich will fire out of the box in this return to action, Over 3.5 (+105) is plus-money, but it likely requires Berlin scoring at some point.
