Bayern Munich vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Betting Odds and Predictions – May 30

Bayern Munich returns to the Allianz Arena after virtually clinching their 8th consecutive Bundesliga title against Borussia Dortmund in their most recent match. The hosts welcome visiting Fortuna Dusseldorf on May 30, 2020, in Round 29 of the German Bundesliga.

Bayern’s 1-0 away win over Dortmund gave them a seven-point cushion over their rivals. Mathematically, there are still enough games for Borussia Dortmund to catch-up. But Bayern must lose at least three games for that to happen, which is unlikely given their current form.

Fortuna Dusseldorf is trying to ensure a return trip to the top flight. However, they are currently occupying the relegation spot and need to continue their upward trend so that they can stay for another season in the Bundesliga 1.

Bayern Munich

Seven-time champions Bayern Munich moved closer to clinching their 8th consecutive Bundesliga title after defeating closest rival Borussia Dortmund last Tuesday 1-0 behind Joshua Kimmich’s late first-half goal. The win put Bayern Munich seven points on top of their rivals with only six matches left to play.

Bayern only had 49% of possession time against Dortmund but they completed 87% of their passes and had a total of five shots on goal and three corner kicks. The defending champions have scored eight goals in their last three matches while conceding just three scores during that period.

With the win, Bayern has put some distance between themselves and their closest pursuers. The defending champions now have a total of 64 points on 20 wins, four draws, and only four losses this season. Their +53 goal difference is +13 better than second-ranked Borussia Dortmund.

Rober Lewandoski leagues The Bundesliga with a total of 27 goals this term. Serge Gnabry and Philippe Coutinho have provided goal support with a total of 11 and 8 scores respectively. Thomas Muller leads the squad with 17 assists while Gnabry and Coutinho have 9 and 6 assists, respectively.

Fortuna Dusseldorf

Fortuna Dusseldorf is currently in the 16th spot with a total of 27 points on the season and they are on the relegation playoffs spot. They are one of the worst teams in the league with a total of 53 goals conceded while only scoring 31 goals this term. This side has lost just once in their last seven outings but has four draws during that period.

Dusseldorf produced a draw in their first two matches since May 16th. They proceeded to beat Schalke in their last assignment. They have not lost in their last five outings although they face a tall order here against the team that has dominated the league for almost 10 years now.

In their home assignment against Schalke 04 this midweek, Fortuna Dusseldorf played their best game of the season as they won the match 2-1. They controlled 67% of ball possession and had 8 shots on goal plus seven corner kicks while completing 81% of their passes.

The 16th ranked scoring team in the league is led by Rouwen Hennings who has a total of 12 goals scored this season. Erik Thommy and Kenan Karaman have each scored six goals for Dusseldorf. Thommy leads the squad with four assists while Kaan Ayhan and Kevin Stoger each have three assists during this term.

Who Wins?

Bayern Munich has been impressive at home as of late. They have won six out of their seven matches at their pitch and have defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf in each of their last eight head to head meetings.

Fortuna Dusseldorf heads to this match with improved confidence as they have have forced two draws and picked up one win since the reset of the season. However, Dusseldorf has struggled away from home with only two victories in 14 road matches. Despite that, they have picked up three wins in their last four matches.

There is no doubt that Bayern Munich is the best team in the league. Against Fortuna Dusseldorf, the difference in talent level is obvious. Because of the delay caused by the pandemic, the remaining schedule is being squeezed, forcing teams to play in multiple games during the week. Fatigue is a factor for most teams but Bayern Munich has such a deep lineup that it’s not an issue with them.

I think there is no doubt about who will win this match. Bayern Munich is a mammoth -1235 favorite in this match so while we are picking them to win this match, I’m not recommending to bet on such heavy favorites. I think it’s better to bet on goals here because Bayern has scored at least two goals in six out of their last seven matches. I like many goals to be scored here.

Prediction: (-450) for Over 2.5 goals is still too pricey but it’s better than -1235.

Alternate Bet

Bayern Munich has been dominant since a slow start. They have lost only four times in 28 matches and have defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf in each of their last eight meetings. There is no question which team wins this at full time and given that the defending champions have won both at the half and in full time in five out of their last seven matches played, I think Bayern goes wire to wire here too.

Prediction: Bayern Munich to win at the half and full-time -300 at Bet365
