Bayern Münich vs Darmstadt 98 Betting Tips and Predictions

Bayern Münich are sitting 8 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga having won 18 of the 21 fixtures so far this season. Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller have a combined 36 league goals between them (more than most teams in the Bundesliga have in total) and across all campaigns there has only been 1 game where Bayern Münich have conceded more than 1 goal  (Champions League away to Arsenal) thanks to a solid defense and the goalkeeping prowess of Manuel Neuer.

Darmstadt 98 are doing reasonable enough for their first run in the Bundesliga in 33 years and have one of the strongest away records in the league alongside Bayern Münich and Dortmund. However their inconsistency at home has shown throughout the season leaving them just 4 points above playoff relegation in 13th place.

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

Despite Darmstadt’s strong away form (17 points from a possible 24) Bayern Münich have won all 10 home games this season scoring an average of 3 goals per game and managed to keep clean sheets in 7 out of 10 home games this season. 3-0 Robert Lewandowski has scored 21 goals in 21 games (almost as much as Darmstadt have this entire season) and thats excluding the 15 from Thomas Müller and 17 from the rest of the team this season. With 2 top goalscorers being fed from a world class midfield, a strong back 4 (despite injuries) and Manuel Neuer between the sticks it’s no wonder Bayern Münich have been scoring goals for fun and kept so many clean sheets this season. A home win of 3-0 at 9/2 sounds likely for this match.
