Salzburg vs. Bayern: Friendly Match Prediction
<p>Salzburg and Bayern Munich will face off in their first match of 2025 on January 6, engaging in a friendly encounter. The Austrian team is, unsurprisingly, considered the underdog in this upcoming clash. Can they put up a strong resistance against their renowned opponent on home turf? Find the answer in our prediction. Which event should you bet on?</p>
Command Analysis
Salzburg
AustriaCurrent Form
Salzburg has been experiencing mixed results. For instance, in their last six matches, the Austrian club has secured two wins, two draws, and two losses. Typically, Pep Lijnders' protégés do not perform well against top European teams. This is evidenced by their Champions League defeats to PSG (0-3) and Bayer Leverkusen (0-5). The upcoming opponent is no weaker than those they have recently lost to, so bookmakers are quick to label the hosts as significant underdogs, even though the match will be held on Austrian soil. Challenging this assumption would be a rash decision.
Suspensions and Injuries
Due to injuries, Konate, Kjærgaard, Blaswich, and Morgalla will not be on the field.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Salzburg has scored in four of their last five home matches
- In their last five encounters with Bayern, the Austrians have always found the net
Projected lineup: Schlager – Capaldo, Pentkovski, Baidoo, Gindo – Bajcetic, Clark, Bidstrup – Yeo, Dorgeles, Glukh.
Bayern Munich
GermanyCurrent Form
Bayern Munich ended last year on a high note, defeating Leipzig 5-1 at home in the 15th round. In the national championship, Vincent Kompany's squad confidently holds the top spot, leading their closest rival, Bayer, by four points. As always, the team is known for its scoring prowess and solid defense. So far this season in the Bundesliga, Bayern is the only team to have scored over 40 goals (47) while conceding just 13. Their away performance is also commendable, although their first Bundesliga loss came in an away match against Mainz (1-2).
The team has some injured players. Specifically, Buchmann, Ito, and Boy will not be on the field due to injuries, but this does not affect the odds significantly, as these players are not key figures in the club.
Suspensions and Injuries
Buchmann, Ito, and Boy will be unable to assist their team due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Bayern has failed to score in only one of their last five matches
- The German team has scored in eight consecutive away games
Projected lineup: Peretz – Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Pavlovic – Olise, Musiala, Sané – Kane.

1.85Tip and bets
Bayern Munich faces a challenging schedule ahead. From January 11 to 18, the team will play three Bundesliga matches, and on the 22nd, the next round of the Champions League kicks off. The Reds need to prepare well for this busy period, and we believe the main squad will take the field, handling their opponent as effectively as PSG and Bayer did in official matches. This means a comfortable victory for the German side with a margin of several goals.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Bayern Munich with odds of 1.71
