Bayern Munich vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Bayern Munich come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Freiburg at the SC Stadion at the weekend as they extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to six points. Vincent Kompany’s side have suffered three defeats with three victories since defeating Dinamo Zagreb by nine goals to two on the opening match day of the UEFA Champions League campaign. They now face a Slovan Bratislava side that are one of two sides, alongside Young Boys, to have lost all seven matches thus far and the Slovakian champions have conceded 24 goals in those games with a heavy home win once again expected for this one.
