Bayern tightening their Bundesliga grip

Bayern Munich go into this glamour tie with one hand on the title. They have been amongst the most dominant sides in European football this year, as was expected by many pre-season, and currently lead RB Leipzig by 10 points. Their rivals would need wings to get anywhere near them.

Munich set-up for game 28 with just one defeat in their last 10 league goes. That run shows seven wins, but they saw a five-match run of victories broken by defeat to Hoffenheim last time out. Kramaric grabbed the only goal of the game on 21-minutes, prompting critics to suggest Bayern are winding down after a period of dominance. They are all but over the line – have they taken their eye off the ball?

Our traders don’t think so and price the home win up as an 8/15 red-hot favourite. That’s a tad tight about a side coming off a shock defeat, and value hunters will be interested to know that Munich lost 1-0 when last meeting Saturday’s opponents in the Bundesliga back in November. Those keen on the home side, but after a bit more value, can back Thomas Muller to score first at 9/2, in a market dominated by Lewandowski’s 5/2.
