Reaction Expected from Bayern Munich after Mini-Slump
Bettors should expect Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich, to come out fighting for Saturday’s home fixture against Wolfsburg. Germany’s most famous club had begun the season in unstoppable form, with high-profile signings – such as Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose, and Franck Ribery – gelling immediately. However, the FCB suffered their first defeat of the season on November 10th at Stuttgart, which followed a disappointing 2-2 home draw with Bolton in the UEFA Cup and two goalless league draws in Dortmund and hosting Frankfurt.
The most shocking aspect of the defeat against VFB, was the lacking of commitment in the tackle, which has been universally highlighted by the club officials and the media. Wolfsburg can therefore expect an aggressive reaction, though Munich will be without defender, Lucio, who is banned. The Wolves have suffered two successive league defeats, conceding seven times and continuing the trend of being one of the division’s most entertaining sides. They have kept just one clean sheet all season, and their away games have produced the most goals, though with an equal proportion scored and conceded. PinnacleSports.com make Bayern Munich favourites 1.952 (-1.5 & -2) with Wolfsburg 1.971 (+1.5 & +2).
Bremen Looking to Keep Pressure on Bayern Munich
Werder Bremen have lifted themselves to within one point of leaders, Bayern Munich. Victory in Saturday’s fixture away to Energie Cottbus could see them go top, if the FCB continue their poor recent form. Bremen are the division’s form side, now unbeaten in nine games, reeling off three successive domestic victories with an aggregate score of 9-0. Thomas Schaaf’s side put the disappointment in Europe behind them to thrash Karsruhe 4-0, last time out, so will be in excellent spirit for the trip to East Germany.
Cottbus are sat bottom of the Bundesliga, but were lifted by registering their first win of the season, in their last home game against Schalke. Though the win was largely undeserved manager, Bojan Prasnikar, at least has something to build on. He will also encourage his players with the fact that both meetings last season ended in draws. PinnacleSports.com make Werder Bremen favourites 2.130 (-1) with Energie Cottbus 1.813 (+1)
