German Supercup: Preview and Predictions
What is the German Super Cup?
The German Super Cup or DFL-Supercup is an annual football match in Germany, in which the winners of the Bundesliga and the German Cup play.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Super Cup
This year Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will meet on Tuesday, 17 August, to decide the fate of the German Super Cup. Both teams have faced each other in the Super Cup seven times: Dortmund have won three times and Bayern four times. Bayern are usually the favourites, but Dortmund just beat Frankfurt 5-2 and they seem to be at their peak of performance right now.
Last season’s German Super Cup was a 3-2 thriller settled by Joshua Kimmich with a fantastic finish. Hopefully, this year’s game will be just as exciting. Place a German Super Cup bet and enjoy the competition!
Team news
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund began their Bundesliga campaign with an impressive 5-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last Saturday. Borussia played an overwhelming attacking football and demonstrated their seriousness in this season’s championship race.
Bayern Munich
Bayern were able to have a draw 1-1 with Borussia Mönchengladbach in their first competition of the Bundesliga. The defending champions in this game looked far from their usual performance. But they have a great squad and have won each of their previous five matches against Borussia Dortmund.
However, Bayern’s new coach Julian Nagelsmann does not have good records against Borussia Dortmund. And he’s going to change that with Tuesday’s Borussia Dortmund Supercup final win.
German Super Cup prediction
Common sense says that Bayern are the favourites in this match, but at the moment something looks not good on Nagelmann’s side. Although not with a full squad, Bayern didn’t win any of their four preseason games.
Dortmund on the other hand are on top of their performance. After a mixed preseason, they played a shocking game against Frankfurt. You can never exclude Bavaria, but it is Dortmund who will enter the German Super Cup final with high spirits. Add the thrill to the game by betting online football with good odds on Cyber.bet.
