Germany - Super Cup (23 July 08)

[McFly]

Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München

Having a nibble of the generous odds for Dortmund considering that this is a home game for them. It's the first game of more or less importance for the new coaches Klopp and Klinsmann. Contrary to Klopp, Klinsmann anounced to rest Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Jansen (Ribéry injured) and I don't think this is a bluff considering the super cup normally plays a minor role for a team like Bayern. It's still an early stage of pre-season and both teams can't be in best shape yet, quite a few players have just returned from holidays. Therefor home odds look like value, I don't think we'll see too much of a quality difference tonight, just like in the cup final where both faced each other the last time.

Dortmund @ 4.2 bet365

Very good job Mc Fly, as always

Cheers Nicko, Djalmha. Lame Bayern but that shouldn't put a shadow on the efforts of Dortmund, well done BVB.

Good Luck

Agree with the Over Dodger. Hard to determine the character of the teams yet but concerning the solid offensive play of both teams not too much should have changed for the new season. It's too late to write much, I just join you with the over which is paid alright and will start my previews with tomorrow's games. GL
