Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayern Munchen will look to kick off 2022 in style when they host Borussia M’gladbach to their Allianz Arena on Friday evening. The title holders are hungry for revenge as they were humiliated by die Fohlen (0-5) in the DFB Pokal earlier this season, and, no doubt, Robert Lewandowski and Co. are going to leave their hearts on the field. All Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman, Corentin Tolisso, Omar Richards, and Lucas Hernandez have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Leon Goretzka is sidelined with injury.
Borussia M’gladbach, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league fixtures, and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Julian Nagelsmann’s troops. The likes of Mamadou Doucoure, Joseph Scally, Keanan Bennetts, and Denis Zakaria should miss out through illness for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
