European Football Best Bets - September 19-21

Bayern Munich got back to winning ways at the weekend as they edged past a spirited Elversberg in a 2-1 win. This triumph was a welcome return to both scoring goals and winning matches after their shock 0-0 draw with Schalke in the game before. Interestingly, Bayern have only kept one clean sheet in three game, while they have scored seven times. Their clash against Union Berlin is a chance to get back to winning and keeping clean sheets. Their last meeting with their opponents ended in a 4-0 win to Bayern and I back more of the same in this one. 

Marseille began the new season with a statement 4-0 win over Strasbourg that saw them hit the ground running in Ligue 1. However, they have since lost to Monaco (2-0), Paris FC (3-2) and Rennes (1-0), with the side already seven short of Lille at the summit. Last season, Marseille did manage to beat PSG 1-0 when they hosted their opponents, but their last meeting ended in a massive 5-0 loss to the reigning champions. With at least four goals scored in each of their two home matches this season, I back Marseille to lose on their own patch in an entertaining game.
