Bayern’s revenge is about to ignite
In view of the particularity of the club system, Athletic Bilbao’s signings in the transfer market this summer are extremely limited, but they also have good news recently, that is, the midfielder Herrera, who has played for Manchester United and Paris, is likely to be I’m back, it’s about to be officially signed. On the pitch, however, Athletic Bilbao’s new season has not been off to a smooth start. In the first round, they were tied by Mallorca at home. In that game, Athletic Bilbao dominated the field. The advantage is that the ball control rate reaches 64%, and the number of shots is as high as 23, but none of them have scored a goal.
Valencia changed coaches this summer, and Italian Gattuso became the team’s new head coach, but the team’s signings were not ideal. The only new players who were somewhat well-known were Castillejo and Lino, who did little to improve the team. Although Valencia beat Girona 1-0 at home in the first round of the new season, it is not easy to win.
It won only on Soler’s penalty kick. Main defender Kumar was also fined during the game. In addition, with the addition of the main left-back Gaya, who is still in the suspension period, and the main defender Paulista, who is still recovering from injury, Valencia’s defense line in this round of the league is quite incomplete. The difficulty of getting points seems to be very small.
Athletic Bilbao’s overall strength is one step stronger than Valencia, and with a home game, this game will definitely attract attention. From the data point of view, it is acceptable to open the third block at the beginning, but the later trend is not good for Athletic Bilbao. Combined with Athletic Bilbao’s last 6 home games against Valencia, it is difficult to get a win. This game is more difficult. It is optimistic that the Bat Legion can retreat completely.
Bundesliga: Bochum vs Bayern Munich
The game is Bayern Munich’s revenge, as the two teams met at home in Bochum last season.
Bayern lost 2-4 and broke out in a super upset, although Bayern scored within 9 minutes. But within half an hour after that, Bochum scored 4 goals in a row and lost 1-4 in the first half. In this game, Bayern’s teenagers will definitely wake up to 12 points.
However, Bochum struggled at the start of the season, losing to Mainz and Hoffenheim in the first two rounds of the league. In the last round, Hoffenheim took the lead with two goals in the last round, and the latter pulled three goals in a row to complete a big reversal. Moreover, Bochum’s defensive ability conceded a total of five goals in two games, the second-lowest in the league. In the face of Bayern’s unabated firepower this season, I believe that losing the ball will only be commonplace.
Bayern Munich, accustomed to the start of the season, ran wild at the beginning of the season. In the Super Cup, they beat Leipzig 5-3 to win the title.
In the two rounds of the league, they defeated Frankfurt and Wolfsburg 6-1 and 2-0 respectively, and three official encounters. All are more than 2 goals, and the offensive and defensive ends are relatively balanced. Although the club has not taken any action to recruit top strikers, the tactic of Mane’s cameo appearance is still good, judging from the effect of averaging more than 4 goals per game. At the beginning of the season, without a European mission, he could remain highly competitive for the time being.
But the downside is that another guest center, Gnabry, was replaced by a hand injury midway through the last round. In addition to the long-term sick Goretzka, there are also Schupomoting and this return on the injured list. Gnabry is not sure, there are not many players who can play the center position. Considering the short but dense schedule of three games a week heading into next week, Bayern may try to bring in youngster Terr to face the ferocity of Bochum.
Road robbery, the outcome of Oita will be a question mark.
As said at the beginning, Bayern is in this game for revenge. The last game kept them on the front pages of the news for a whole month. Fighting intent is unquestionable. It is important to note that most of the goals for both teams this season have been scored in the first half, and Bochum will likely want to replicate the style of the previous game, building an early advantage, then defending in the second half and playing in the second half. Scored well in the first half. Definitely worth watching.
Stats-wise, it was +2 at the beginning and then quickly dropped to +2.25. There is still a downward trend in the future. Taking into account Bayern’s recent performance and high fighting spirit, winning is naturally a matter of course. Hong Lei’s defensive ability of conceding 2.5 goals per game seems difficult to reassure. In this campaign, we might as well pay attention to whether Bayern can defeat Bochum.
