For Bayern Munich’s countless football betting fans, anything other than a win is an anomaly, unnatural, wrong.
That’s why it’s understandable that fans (and betting websites) were rattled when Bayern was held scoreless at Hoffenheim. The Bavarians had all the talent and failed to score when it really mattered. Thankfully, they bounced back well against Mainz, scoring four goals.
Their midweek victory against Schalke will give the club better betting odds in the future and get the home crowd high on James Rodriguez.
The Colombian star was a key figure to the Schalke rout, calmly slotting the ball past Ralf Fahrmann for his first goal in a Bayern shirt. His beautiful chip pass over the defence in the second half led to an easy goal for Arturo Vidal.
While James is the talk of the town, the competition also produced some interesting results. Dortmund were simply too much for Hamburg as the BVB left side were unstoppable. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Shinji Kagawa scored the goals to extend Dortmund’s stint at the top.
Borussia Monchengladbach finally won their second game after beating Stuttgart, 2-0. Raffael was the hero Monchengladbach needed as he delivered both of the club’s goals.
Hannover 96 may have failed to capitalise on their momentum and win over Freiburg, but their unbeaten streak is one of three left in the season. Props should be given to Andre Breitenreiter and his industrious lads.
Finally, is there trouble in Red Bull paradise? RB Leipzig suffered a shock loss to Augsburg despite having the majority of time with the ball. Is Champions League football having an adverse effect on Ralph’s Hassenhuttl’s players?
We can’t wait to get the next game day over with to see what happens to the Bundesliga table.
