Best Tip: Bayern to win

A Bundesliga victory in front of their own fans for Vincent Kompany's Bayern side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for their visitors. The odds from the bookies suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Bayern win is our recommendation, even if a tight match is possible.
