At 0:30 a.m. on January 24th, Beijing time, the 20th round of the Bundesliga kicked off, and Bayern Munich played away to Hertha Berlin.
Up to now, Bayern has topped the Bundesliga with 46 points in 19 rounds, 3 points ahead of second-place Dortmund with 1 game less; the home team Hertha ranked 13th with 22 points in 19 rounds, only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.
Bayern and Hertha have played a total of 80 times in team history. They have the upper hand with 47 wins, 20 draws and 13 losses, and maintain a 4-game winning streak against each other, with only 1 loss in the past 21 games.
Aspect 1: The tide of downsizing has receded, and Bayern will return to the blood to consolidate the first point advantage
With the return of many players from isolation, Bayern, who was still fighting a few weeks ago, is now more and more available in the lineup. In the last round of the league, key players including Neuer and Sane played, and Bayern also played 4-0. The victory over Cologne ushered in the first victory of the second half.
At the pre-match press conference, Bayern coach Nagelsmann said when talking about the team’s lineup that Bayern may have all players available except for the African Cup duo before the Champions League knockout.
At the time when the all-member benevolence mode is about to start, Bayern, who leads Dortmund by 3 points with one game less, also won Hertha with sufficient confidence to consolidate the advantage in the standings.
Aspect 2: Hertha hit 10 goals in the last 5 games, Lewandowski is expected to “renew” the goal account
In the last round of the league, Lewandowski, the core of Bayern, completed his first hat-trick in 2022, and also expanded his personal league goals to 23 goals, in excellent condition.
It is worth mentioning that Lewandowski scored a total of 12 goals for Hertha on behalf of Bayern. He is also the active player with the most goals in the history of the two teams. In the past 5 games, Lewandowski has scored 10 goals. 2 goals were scored.
In the face of Hertha, who is helpless to him this time, Lewandowski, who has just won the best in FIFA, is expected to double his happiness with goals.
Aspect 3: See the tragedy again?Hertha’s “chicken flock” defense is extremely underestimated
Since entering 2022, Hertha Berlin have had a bleak 3-game winless performance. At present, they are only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone with 22 points in 19 rounds, and 38 conceded goals are the second most in the league.
Before the game, Bild was extremely down on Hertha. They believed that Hertha’s defense line, which had lost 13 goals in a row in the past 6 rounds, could not stop Bayern at all.
In the face of the Bayern striker who has repeatedly made tragedies during the season, Hertha’s defense, which has been in the doldrums throughout the season, may not be able to retreat completely, and a big score may be inevitable.
The two sides are expected to miss the list:
Hertha: ,, Tusalt (isolation), Gochet (isolation), Ekronkamp (isolation), Buyokan (isolation), Yarstein (injured), Jovitic (injured) suspect)
Bayern: Koeman (isolation), Alfonso Davies (injured), Goretzka (injured), Stanisic (injured), Shupomoting (in the African Cup), Sarr (injured) for the African Cup)
Both sides are expected to start:
Hertha (442): Schwero/Platenhardt, Niklas Stark, Torun Ariga, Pekarik/Mittersdek, Askasibal, Zelda , Richter/Selke, Belfordi
Bayern (4231): Neuer/Pavar, Sule, Upamecano, Lucas/Kimich, Tolisso/Gnabry, Muller, Sane/LewandowskiReturn to Sohu, see more
