Bayern Munich – Hertha Berlin

The champion will come around and score many goals against the underdog

Thomas Tuchel has spent exactly a month as Bayern's head coach after Julian Nagelsmann's swift and unexpected dismissal. If Tuchel were to leave the club's premises tomorrow, he would probably be the worst coach in the club's history. Having won his debut game as coach when Borussia Dortmund were defeated in Munich, Thomas has derailed the Munich club. In their next six official games, Bayern dropped out of the German Cup, and the Champions League and lost first place in the Bundesliga to the same Borussia Dortmund side. Hertha come to Munich as major league underdogs. In last place in the top flight, it is far too early for the Berlin club's players to cover their heads in ashes. They have to pick up three points and hope for defeats to Schalke and Stuttgart to climb to 16th place. Does it really matter in such a situation, which club is the opponent and in which stadium is the meeting held? Probably only for the correct choice of tactics, in order to achieve a winning result. That said, bookmakers have given the visitors paltry odds even on a draw, offering odds of 1.12 on the champion's victory. Bayern are obviously in a slight state of prostration at the moment. If in such a condition for the home game against Manchester City still managed to tune in and give the English club a strong resistance, the loss of points in the meetings with Hoffenheim and Mainz after the Champions League matches indicate the seriousness of the problems in the camp of the current champion. Hertha are the perfect opponents for Bayern to take on and restore their confidence. Since 2020, the Munich side have beaten the capital team six times in a row, scoring three to five goals on five occasions. Hertha fans ahead of Sunday's encounter can be frustrated not only by their position at the bottom of the Bundesliga, but also by their current losing streak. The Berlin club are winless in their last seven encounters, with a combined total of two points, and have also lost their last three Bundesliga fixtures. Unfortunately, they are also direct rivals in the fight to stay in the division. Bayern can score a lot of goals against their upcoming opponents.
