Bayern Munich hosts Hertha Berlin in round 1 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, August 16th at Allianz Arena (Munich)
There are a lot of questions concerning Bavaria, and these questions have been asking since last season, which, in general, turned out to be a failure for the team. It didn’t shine in the Champions League, and the championship was won by a whisker, not so easy and simple as in previous years: the fate of gold was decided only in the final round. Well, the new season has come, and the results at the start are not very impressive... Bayern lost the Super Cup to Dortmund (0-2), and it won only 3-1 against the team from the regional league in the national cup, although the Munichers fielded the regular squad... Well, there is absolutely no confidence in the Munich team for now. The rival in the first round is quite difficult, and I fully admit difficulties in the game of Bayern in this match. The loss of Robben and Ribery, who finished their career, will seriously affect the Munich team, as these two players knew how to save a team in difficult times!

The last season was not so good for Hertha, and the team finished only 11th in the standings. Most likely, the team will set much higher goals in the new season than the goal of taking 11th place... In general, Hertha knows how to play against Bayern. And for the Munich team, it is probably one of the most uncomfortable rivals in the league! Over the past couple of years, the teams met 6 times, and 4 matches ended in a draw! There was one victory of Hertha (2-0), and just one victory of Bayern with a miserable 1-0 score. So, in my opinion, it is obvious that Bayern does not expect matches with this obnoxious metropolitan middle-class team! Hertha began the new season with a bang! It won the team from the lower leagues, Eichstadt (5-1), in the cup! The team warmed up well, and perhaps it’s ready to visit the Allianz Arena, where they probably won’t look like easy beats!
Perhaps I was even too safe for this match, taking a +2.5 handicap of Hertha. If Bayern wins the game, it will score one goal and no more! There are a lot of questions concerning Bayern, and these questions are not pleasant. There are clear preconditions that the season may turn out to be a failure for Munich! But I will insure Hertha with a bigger handicap. Who knows what may happen.
Prediction for the match: Hertha Berlin to win with +2.5 handicap
