Match Preview
Bayern Munich is not the happiest of teams in the Bundesliga lately. The Bavarians lost to VfL Bochum 4-2 last weekend on the road.
To begin the new week amid the setbacks from last week, Bayern were held to a 1-1 draw by RB Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash in Austria. By their standards, this isn’t very reassuring.
But Bayern Munich could make it three winless games for the first time since 2018 if the tie against newly promoted Greuther Fürth ends the other way round.
At the moment, Bayern Munich is six points clear at the top of the league table. The Bavarians have a good home record with one defeat in seven home Bundesliga matches.
Greuther Fürth is struggling and is desperate for points to escape the drop zone. Unfortunately, it may not come as easy as it would sound when you are coming up against a side like Bayern Munich.
Greuther Fürth has lost just once in their last six Bundesliga matches but have conceded more goals.
Team News
Bayern Munich
Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry are doubtful for the game against Greuther Fürth. Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala and Manuel Neuer are out of the game due to injuries.
In form, Thomas Muller has been the difference-maker in the last couple of games, and Robert Lewandowski, who continued to rescue the team from losing positions.
Greuther Fürth
The Green and white boys would miss players like Funk, Jung, Kehr, and Ngankam due to injuries. Branimir Hrgota is expired to continue with his excellent form against Bayern Munich.
Prediction
Bayern Munich has been dreadful lately and is looking to bounce back to winning ways. The Bundesliga giants need to fix it against Greuther Fürth.
Fürth is among the Bundesliga strugglers this season. The newcomers must overcome the firepower of their host to stand a chance at something.
Score Prediction: 2-1
