Bayern Munich and Hamburg SV square off for a second time this afternoon.

By no means am I a football/soccer guru, perhaps the greatest advice I have comes in the form of Fifa09!

But I see this game as another trap set up from the ever-deceitful StreakMaster.

Hamburg has played excellent football this year, they are 2 points out of first place, and have an astounding home record of 9 wins 1 draw and no losses.

Their previous meeting with Bayern went 2-2 At Bayerns Stadium.

Everything seems to be pointing towards Hamburg, the amazing home record, drawing away at Bayern, and in their previous 4 matches have not lost to Bayern.

BUT, Croatian forward and team leader Ivica Olic who has 45 shots, 15 on goal, and 6 goals in 17 games this season is serving a two game ban starting today.

Bayern is traditionally the best team in the Bundesliga, and I believe they will prove themselves here.

Bayern has not lost  in league play since  a late September 1-0 decision at Hannover.

Bayern is the obviously the better squad here, otherwise how would they be favored in an away match such as this?

The odds for the away team are astounding in this match.

Bet365 having Bayern at 2.00 Hamburg at 3.80 and draw at 3.40

Eurobet having Bayern at 2.00 Hamburg at 3.75 and draw at 3.40

Ladbrokes having Bayern at Bayern at 2.00 Hamburg at 3.75 and draw at 3.40 as well

The oddsmakers and great soccer punters have the odds right on this one.

Look for a 2-1, 3-1 Bayern victory here.
