Game Preview
Bayern lost to Inter at home 1-2, with a late goal which stunned the home team and the fans. It seems that Vincent Kompany isn’t experienced enough to compete with the best head coaches in Europe and that Harry Kane isn’t the guy for the big-time moments.
In 7 of the last 10 games Bayern played, we saw both teams netting. Also, only one of the previous 10 meetings at the Allianz Arena hasn’t seen over 2.5 hits.
Borussia was ripped apart in Barcelona, 4-0, with Blaugrana exposing all of the Millionaires’ weaknesses. The defense, which was kinda tightened up under head coach Kovac, was blown away.
This was Dortmund’s 5th road game in the past 10 in which they allowed at least two goals. During the same stretch, they have five wins and five losses.
