Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich visits Deutsche Bank Park to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the opening match of Bundesliga action. Friday’s kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich had to say farewell this offseason to one of the game’s best forwards, Robert Lewandowski, who is now with top Spanish side Barcelona.

Munich, who won the league with ease last season, finished 8 points ahead of 2nd-place Dortmund in 2021. They do not lack talent with GK Manuel Neuer and newcomer F Sadio Mane, who joins the club from Liverpool.

Eintracht Frankfurt finished 11th in the league last season, scoring 45 goals and allowing 49 in 34 matches.

M Daichi Kamada led the team in their DFB-Pokal Round of 64 victory, scoring 2 goals in a 4-0 win last Monday. F Rafael Borré played 73 minutes and had an assist as well.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 1

Money line (ML)

PASS.

While I like Bayern to come out on top and start their season off strong, there’s not much value in betting an away favorite at -205, especially one  kicking off their season and having to replace their top goal scorer.

On the other side, Frankfurt has a good squad and could crack the top-10 clubs in the league this season, but beating Bayern isn’t common and doesn’t give great value even at +450.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-108).

It’s not easy to instantly find chemistry with a club, and Mane will have to do just that. Bayern no longer has that go-to 9 at the top of their formation, so they may switch up their style entirely.

Couple the inexperience with each other with the fact that both matchups between these teams went under this total last season, and the Under 3.5 (-108) is the better option.

Both matchups had under 3.5 expected goals as well. Bayern also allowed just 1.09 goals per game last season, so they have an extremely strong defense still captained by one of the best goalies in the world.

Put it all together, and I like the Under 3.5 (-108) here.

Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich (23 wins, 4 losses, 3 draws) welcomes Borussia Dortmund (20-7-3) to Allianz Arena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

This is an important match for Bayern Munich, which can clinch the Bundesliga title with a win. Following a discouraging Champions League exit, this will be a good opportunity to rebound.

Bayern is led by 33-year-old Polish F Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 32 goals in 30 starts. Bayern has won 4 straight league games and is 12-2-1 at home this season.

Bayern beat Dortmund 3-2 in league play and 3-1 in DFL-Supercup competition.

As for Dortmund, it is led by 21-year-old Norwegian F Erling Haaland, who has 18 goals this season. Dortmund has won 2 straight league games and 4 of its last 6.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: -155 | U: +125)

[tipico]

Prediction

Bayern Munich 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to the DRAW (+480).

I would only put a small unit on this, but Dortmund played Bayern close in its lone league match this season. It held Bayern to 5 shots on target while putting 4 on frame.

While Bayern is the superior side, the value is here to take a risk on a draw. Bayern has the best defense in Bundesliga action, allowing under a goal per game.

Dortmund has thrived defensively as of late, allowing its opponent to score 2 or more goals in just 1 of its last 7 league games.

Given Bayern is 2-1-1 across its last 4 matches in all competitions, it may coast to the league title, giving Dortmund a decent shot to steal a draw on the road.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+125).

In all competitions, Bayern has gone Under 3.5 total goals in 4 straight games.

It is 3-7 O/U 3.5 in its last 10 games. Bayern’s offense is the best in the league, but its defense is also elite. It hasn’t allowed multiple goals since Feb. 12.

Dortmund is 2-5 O/U 3.5 goals in its last 7. It has allowed multiple goals in just 1 of its last 7. Dortmund has a capable defense, and its offense will be taking on the best defense in the league.

Combine it all, and at this value, I like the UNDER 3.5 (+125).

Bundesliga: Hertha Berlin at Bayern Munich odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Hertha Berlin at Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

In one of six Bundesliga matches Saturday, Hertha Berlin (0 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Bayern Munich (1-0-1). The match is set to kickoff at 12:30 p.m. ET at Allianz Arena. Below, we preview the Hertha Berlin vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Coming in as the heavy favorite, Bayern Munich absolutely destroyed Bremer SV in a mid-week DFB Cup match, winning 12-0. However, Mönchengladbach was able to draw Bayern 1-1 to open the season. With a slim 3-2 win over FC Koln, Bayern is sitting fifth in the league.

Hertha Berlin enters as a major underdog, having lost both of its games this season. It’s currently at the bottom of the table.

Hertha scored in both matches though, including a 3-1 loss to Koln in Week 1.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Hertha Berlin 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as Bayern Munich hasn’t shown enough to justify being such a heavy favorite. Sure, it’ll more than likely win, but I wouldn’t put a draw completely out of the picture as Bayern showed some weaknesses against Koln.

However, while Bayern should get on the board easily, it has also allowed 3 goals through two matches. Its first opponent, Mönchengladbach, is sitting 16th in the table and drew Bayern 1-1.

With Hertha Berlin having scored in both matches, BET on BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-133) as a great value.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to OVER 3.5 (-145) as Bayern’s attack should start to gain steam. It put 3 goals on Koln and it should’ve been more as Bayern had 18 shots.

Coming off a 12-goal showing, Bayern’s attack, led by F Robert Lewandowski who has over 200 goals since joining the club in 2014, should be able to dominate a Hertha Berlin side that’s given up 5 goals through two games.

With Hertha having scored in both matches, it’s easy to expect at least 1 tally. If it gets 2, the Over\ should hit with ease. Either way, this is the better value on the total.

FC Cologne at Bayern Munich odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s FC Cologne at Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

In the premier Bundesliga match of the weekend, FC Cologne (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) visits Bayern Munich (0-0-1) Sunday. The match is set to kickoff at 11:30 a.m. ET at Allianz Arena. Below, we preview the FC Cologne vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich will enter this match coming off a 3-1 DFL-Supercup victory over Dortmund. However, that success didn’t translate to its opening Bundesliga match as it played to a 1-1 draw with Monchengladbach.

Their opponent, FC Cologne won 3-1 and entered the weekend in a top-five position. Its luck may run out as a heavy underdog in this match.

Bayern won the league by 13 points last season, so the talent is there. This should be a full display following a disappointing first outing.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, FC Cologne 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. After drawing a team clearly not at its level despite having double the shots, I wouldn’t put money on a -700 bet. A draw is possible, although unlikely.

The best value is for BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-115). You get one team not to score at -120, so it’s basically an even bet.

With both teams showing attacking prowess to kick off the season, I’d bet Munich wins relatively easily but FC Cologne, who netted 3 goals in its opener, gets on the board.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (-140) as Bayern has looked lethal offensively yet also allowed a goal in each of its last two matches. If that trend continues, it should bode well for the Over.

Thirty-three-year-old F Robert Lewandowski scored twice against Dortmund. Thomas Muller also got in on the action. With pace from players like Leroy Sané, expect Bayern to score at will.

Last season, Bayern gave up 44 goals in 34 matches. With FC Cologne coming off a 3-goal performance in its opener, 28-year-old F Florian Kainz could add to the 2 he scored a week ago.

This game could easily be a high-scoring match.
