Saarbrucken vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips - DFB Pokal
by Devesh Jaganath | in DFB Pokal Predictions
Saarbrucken will be hoping to pull off a huge upset when they play host to Bayern Munich in the second round of the DFB Pokal on Wednesday evening. The hosts beat Karlsruhe 2-1 in the first round of this competition. Saarbrucken have a mountain to climb here. The 3 Liga side come into this match in 15th place in their domestic league, with just 14 points after 11 matches. Their most recent match ended in a 2-1 defeat to Rot-Weiss Essen, which extended their recent record to three matches without a win. The only victory they have managed in their last six came over Arminia Bielefeld at the end of last month. At home, though, Saarbrucken have been better, unbeaten in their last four with two draws and two wins. On paper, this is a mismatch, but the hosts will hope that they can sneak something here, with Bayern likely to make wholesale changes.
However, overcoming Bayern, even with a second-string side, is no easy feat. The Bavarians are in top gear in the Bundesliga, already on 23 points from 9 games. That leaves them just two points behind Bayer Leverkusen and unbeaten in the league games this term. The only smudge on their record this season was their Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig at the start of the campaign. The Reds come into this match off the back of a crushing 8-0 victory over Darmstadt, which followed a 3-1 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League in midweek. With that, Bayern are now on a five-match winning streak and have scored two or more goals in 13 consecutive matches. The visitors will make several changes in this match but are still massively fancied to claim a big win here.
