Bayern Munich vs Darmstadt Prediction & Tips
Bayern Munich and Darmstadt 98 meet at the Allianz Arena in a match on Matchday 9 of the Bundesliga. There have been no official meetings between these two teams in the last three years. The last meeting was on 06-05-2017 and ended with the result: Bayern Munich (1-0) Darmstadt 98. The home factor could play an important role in this match, as both teams have significant differences in home and away results.
The home side are currently in 3rd place with 20 points after 6 wins and 2 draws. In their penultimate match, they won 3-0 at home to SC Freiburg. In their last match, they won away to FSV Mainz 05 (1-3). This is a team that has curiously been stronger away than at home, as in the last 30 games it has recorded 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats as a visitor; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats at its home stadium. In their last UEFA Champions League match, they beat Galatasaray away 1-3. In their last 4 home league games, Bayern Munich have 3 wins and 1 draw, taking 10 points out of a possible 12.
They haven’t lost in 8 matches in this competition. Their attack has scored regularly, scoring at least one goal in each of their last 8 games in this competition. In their home games there is a tendency for goals, as 18 out of 25 have ended with more than 2.5 goals on the scoreboard. This is a team that often scores first: they’ve opened the scoring in 6 of their last 8 Bundesliga games, of those 6 they’ve gone into half-time ahead in 5 and managed to hold on to the lead until the end of the 90′ in 5. There are 1 periods of note in their last 20 home games in all competitions: they’ve conceded 10 of their 26 goals between the hour mark (76′-90′).
Bayern Munich go into this match motivated after a 1-3 away win at Galatasaray: Kingsley Coman, Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala scored the goals in this fine victory. The home side usually play a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the wings. In this design, the three players whose job it is to occupy the most advanced areas are Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane. It seems that coach Thomas Tuchel won’t be able to count on Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, Raphael Guerreiro and Dayot Upamecano as they are currently out with medical problems.
The away team are currently in 12th place with 7 points after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. In their penultimate match, they won away to FC Augsburg (1-2). In their last match, they lost at home to RB Leipzig (1-3). This is a stronger team when they play in their own stadium, as in the last 30 games they’ve recorded 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats as visitors; compared to 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats in their own stadium. Darmstadt 98 have won 1 and lost 3 of their last 4 away games in the league, taking 3 points out of a possible 12. The team hasn’t been very strong defensively, having conceded goals in their last 8 games, but their attack has scored regularly, having managed to score in 7 of their last 8 games in this competition. In 8 games in this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never managed to turn the game around.
Darmstadt go into this game demotivated after a 1-3 home defeat to Leipzig. Unlike their opponents in this match, the away side are likely to play a 5-3-2 tactical system, with the aim of taking advantage of quick transitions. The players tasked with attacking the “enemy’s” defensive zone are Luca Pfeiffer and Oscar Vilhelmsson. In any case, it’s expected that Darmdstadt will adopt a more defensive posture, with the aim of not allowing their opponents any space. The Darmstadt coach won’t be able to count on Fabio Torsiello, Braydon Manu and Christoph Zimmermann as they are currently recovering from injury.
