Dusseldorf vs. Bayern Munich – Prediction (Bundesliga – 23.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Fortuna Düsseldorf have lost more Bundesliga games (28) and conceded more goals (113) against Bayern München than they have versus any other side.

Düsseldorf’s last outing saw them pick up points from a Bundesliga match after conceding the opener, doing so for the first time this term. Said match was also their third in succession (across all competitions) to see their first goal on the day arrive from the penalty spot. Düsseldorf’s Rouwen Hennings has netted his side’s opener in both of their Bundesliga home wins this term. Two home league wins for Düsseldorf precede this test, forming the tail-end of a four-game sequence of home league matches where they have opened the scoring. Three of those saw them do so in the first half, but only one (a win) yielded a half-time lead thereafter.

Two of Düsseldorf’s last three penalties have come in response to conceding the opening match goal, each changing the score to 1-1 at the time. Three-quarters (six) of Bayern’s last eight away league wins have produced a margin of 2+ goals. Three of the last four Bundesliga H2Hs have seen the first half produce exactly two match goals.

Scoring exactly twice inside the first half in three of the last four Bundesliga H2Hs, Bayern opened November with contrasting results (W1, L1) with both matches seeing the victor win the second half 3-0. In turn, seven successive Bundesliga matches involving Bayern have produced over 1.5 second-half match goals. Current Bundesliga top-scorer Robert Lewandowski has netted three away league goals (W1, D2) inside the opening 20 minutes this season, and scored the decisive winner in Bayern’s last Bundesliga away win. The visitors’ 5-1 defeat at Frankfurt (Nov 2) should be just an aberration, with no defeat in ten Bundesliga road trips prior to that humiliation. In a stat that shows Bayern’s readiness from the first whistle, each of the three away league matches prior to that Frankfurt flaying saw them score exactly once inside the opening 15 minutes.
