Bayern Munich vs Holstein prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 1, 2025
One of the matches of the 20th round of the German Bundesliga will take place on Saturday at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern Munich will host Holstein. We suggest a bet on goals in this encounter with good chances of success.
Match Preview
The Munich side continues to demonstrate a championship-level performance—in the last round, they secured their fifth consecutive Bundesliga victory by defeating Freiburg 2-1 away. This result, coupled with Bayer Leverkusen’s slip-up, allowed Vincent Kompany’s team to extend their lead over Leverkusen to six points.
Bayern remains a dominant force in attack, boasting the league’s best offensive record with 58 goals. Their defense is also solid (16 goals conceded), though not flawless, as they failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight matches. However, their scoring prowess compensates for these defensive lapses, netting 22 goals over this period and leaving opponents with little chance.
Marcel Rapp’s side managed to end a 12-game streak without a draw (3 wins, 9 losses) by securing a 2-2 away draw against Wolfsburg in the previous round. Holstein has shown consistent scoring form, finding the net in six consecutive matches, and they rank second in goals scored among teams in the bottom half of the table.
However, their attacking strength does not compensate for defensive weaknesses. The club remains in the relegation zone and has struggled on the road, failing to win any of their nine away matches (3 draws, 6 losses). Currently, Holstein sits second from the bottom in the standings with 12 points, trailing the safe zone by six points.
