2022 DFL Super Cup Predictions: Bayern Can Win First Cup In the New Season

German Cup winner RB Leipzig and Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich will meet this Saturday and compete for the German Super Cup. The match is held at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, making a big advantage to the home team. But the 2022 DFL Super Cup predictions still favor Bayern to win the trophy for the 10th time. While Domenico Tedesco’s team can get their first Super Cup title on their first appearance.  

The first German Super Cup was held in 1987 and it ran until 1996 when it was suspended. The cup returned in 2008 and has been held ever since. Bayern Munich has been the most successful team in the cup’s history with 9 wins. Their main rival, Borussia Dortmund follow them with 6 wins and 6 runner-up finishes.

Bayern will feature in this year’s game as well after winning the Bundesliga for the 10th consecutive year. They are the defending champions after the team defeated Dortmund 3-1 in last year’s Super Cup game. Now Bayern will face RB Leipzig who managed to win the German Cup for the first time in the club’s history. Now they can add a Super Cup trophy to their honors but winning against Bayern will be a very difficult task. 

2022 DFL Super Cup Predictions Favor Bayern Against the Hosts

Bayern Munich have lost one of their key players in the summer, Polish top striker Robert Lewandowski. He joined FC Barcelona after a long saga that ended eventually with his departure. It looks like Bayern won’t have any center forward in the new season as their new signings are playing in other positions.

It doesn’t mean though that they became weaker. Especially after the signings of Liverpool forward Sadio Mane or Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt. 17-year-old French forward Mathys Tel has also joined the club from Rennes. Along with another youngster, 20-year-old Dutch midfielder, Ryan Gravenberch. 

All new signings can feature in the Super Cup final where Bayern are favored to win by online sportsbooks in Germany. Their odds to win the match in normal time are 1.88. While their odds to win the cup in any condition are 1.55. Besides their routine and experience, their last results against RB Leipzig also favor Julian Nagelsmann’s team. As last season Bayern beat Leipzig on both occasions, away and at home.

So, they’ve already managed to win at the Red Bull Arena before. Key players like Thomas Muller can help to achieve the victory again who has the odds of 3.20 to score any time at the game. Sadio Mane’s chances for that are even better in the 2022 DFL Super Cup predictions which offer the odds of 2.80 for his goal. 

Can Leipzig Beat the Champions?

RB Leipzig finished only in fourth place in last season’s Bundesliga but they managed to win the German Cup after beating Freiburg in the penalty shoot-out. The best player of the 2021/22 Bundesliga season, Christopher Nkunku scored the opening penalty and the equalizer in the cup final. And the French striker can find the net again according to the bookmakers. They offer the odds of 3.40 for his anytime goal. His teammates, Andre Silva, Yussuf Poulsen, and Dominik Szoboszlai can also have a few shots at the Bayern goal. While Peter Gulacsi will try to save all Bayern efforts. 

Still, Leipzig’s chances to beat Bayern are not too high. Online gambling sites in Germany offer the odds of 3.58 for their win in normal time. Their odds to win the cup are better with odds of 2.45. Besides German goalkeeper Janis Blaswich there has been only one new signing at the club so far.

Austrian midfielder Xaver Schlager, who arrived from Wolfsburg for €12 million. He can strengthen the squad but it might not be enough to beat Bayern. Home fans will surely give another boost to the team though who will also face their previous manager on Saturday. Leipzig only managed to beat Bayern once so far out of their 14 previous meetings. But they draw 4 times with them which has the odds of 4.12 on 22Bet now.
