Energie Cottbus vs Bayern Munich
The closing match of the first round of the German Cup will present a match between Energie Cottbus against Bayern Munich, which will be held at the Stadion der Freundschaft. Of course before this match begins the chance of victory is clearly on the part of Bayern Munchen, who were the defending champions last season and also the defending champions of the German Bundesliga.
But interestingly this game is arguably a reunion match for them, history records they have met 7 times in 2006 to 2009. Of the 7 meetings Energie Cottbus picked just 1 win while the remaining 6 matches were won by Bayern Munchen. At that time Energie Cottbus played in German Bundesliga before finally being degraded.
After a decade of not meeting Energie Cottbus, Energie Cottbus continues to decline in the level of competition, now they are playing in the Regionalliga caste. You could say this is a pretty big decline, compared to Bayern Munich of course their records are clearly under. Historically it was enough to explain that the generation of Bayern Munich was not a comparable opponent for Energie Cottbus.
So even though it benefits from playing at home, it is likely that Energie Cottbus will be defeated easily. As the defending champion team and also the quality team is far above the lower layered squad Bayern Munich has a great chance of winning, besides Energie Cottbus also in the last 9 German Cup event they participated in only 1 game won, 8 games remaining defeated.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.12
