Has Bayern already digested its latest defeat?
Ulm showed a defiant reaction after their bitter defeat in the first match of the final series and evened the best-of-five with a win in front of their home crowd. The third match in the 2024/25 BBL playoffs is now coming up in Munich. The Spatzen are the underdogs. However, our Bayern vs. Ulm tip does not rule out a close match.
The visitors have tasted blood with their 79-64 victory over FCB Basketball and will not be hiding in Munich. However, it should be noted that Ratiopharm Ulm has not won at FC Bayern Basketball since May 2023. Since then, they have suffered four defeats in a row against Munich.
Bayern – Statistics & current form
Bayern lost momentum after their clear victory against Ulm. The Munich team suffered a bitter defeat in their away game against the Spatzen and were particularly disappointing in their attacking play. Gordon Herbert’s team scored only 64 points over four quarters – 18 points less than in the first match of the final series.
After a solid first half, the FCB basketball players collapsed in the third quarter and let the victory slip away. Bayern had only seven (!) points to cheer about in the third quarter. Ulm scored a total of 21 points in the third quarter to complete their comeback. FC Bayern Basketball now has the chance to make amends in the home game.
If successful, Munich can also set the course for defending their title and would have the first match point in the upcoming game in Ulm. Bayern has only lost twice at home in the current BBL season. One of those defeats came in the playoffs against Heidelberg. Statistically, however, FC Bayern Basketball was still the second-strongest home team in the Basketball Bundesliga.
Bayern to overcome frustration in the third match?
After a weak performance in the second match, it remains uncertain how FC Bayern Basketball will fare in the upcoming home game against Ulm. The Munich team has won the last four home games against the Spatzen and is therefore also favored in Saturday’s match.
If you want to place a bet on the FCB basketball team in Bayern vs. Ulm this time, you can use Betano sports betting and benefit from interesting betting options. The betting provider offers many betting options for the BBL finals series, including numerous options on the player market.
Vladimir Lucic was the top scorer for Munich in the last game with 17 points. Shabazz Napier & Co., on the other hand, fell short of expectations. The American failed to score a single one of his four three-point shots.
Bayern’s expected starting five:
White – Lucic – Booker – Obst – Weiler-Babb
Ulm – Statistics & current form
Ratiopharm Ulm has evened the best-of-five series with its victory over Bayern. After a weak away game in Munich, the Spatzen prevailed in front of their home crowd, underlining their home strength in the Ratiopharm Arena. After trailing at halftime, Ulm fought its way back into the game and secured a 79-64 victory over the FCB basketball team.
The performance in the third quarter was particularly commendable. Ulm not only kept Munich’s offense in check, but also scored 21 points against FC Bayern Basketball. Anyone who therefore does not rule out a coup for the Spatzen in the third match can use the Bwin new customer bonus for a Bayern vs. Ulm basketball tip and thus minimize their own risk.
However, Ulm has lost three times in a row on the road recently. One of those three defeats came in Munich. Ratiopharm Ulm also suffered two defeats in the two away games of the semi-final series against Würzburg Baskets. Betting on an upset in Munich therefore involves a lot of risk.
Will the losing streak continue in Munich?
To make matters worse, Ulm has lost its last four away games at FC Bayern Basketball. As expected, the Spatzen are therefore the underdogs against the defending champions from Munich. In the current Bundesliga season, Ulm has also suffered eight defeats in 16 away games.
On average, the opponents scored 82.50 points in these 16 games. It is quite possible that the negative trend will continue at FC Bayern Basketball. Bets can be placed at Bet365, among others. The bookmaker from Stoke-on-Trent is also offering the game as a live bet.
Karim Jallow was the top scorer for the Spatzen in their last game. The German international scored a total of 23 points in four quarters. If the Spatzen’s star player can repeat this performance, there is a realistic chance that Ulm could pull off a coup in the third match.
Ulm’s expected starting five:
Jensen – Jallow – Marcio – Saraf – Jessup
Bayern – Ulm Head-to-head record/H2H record
In the last 42 encounters between the two clubs, Bayern leads the head-to-head comparison with a record of 27-15. However, Munich has lost two of the last three head-to-heads – both on foreign soil, mind you. At home, on the other hand, the FCB basketball players have won four home games in a row against Ratiopharm Ulm.
In the last two matches, they have not even broken the 150-point mark. Nevertheless, betting on a high-scoring encounter in the third match is by no means out of the question. Especially since both clubs have enough offensive potential to make it happen.
Bayern – Ulm Tip
Both clubs won at home. Bayern took the lead in the first leg and prevailed 82-66 against the Spatzen. In the second match, however, Ulm triumphed and evened the final series. Ty Harrelson’s team thus also reinforced its home strength. Ulm was already the strongest home team in the standings in the main round.
It remains to be seen how Ratiopharm Ulm will perform on foreign soil, as they have suffered three consecutive away defeats recently. It is quite possible that the negative trend will continue in Munich. Ulm has lost its last four away games against FC Bayern Basketball anyway. Two of these four defeats came this season.
Our Bayern vs. Ulm Basketball tip is for a FCB Basketball victory with a nine-point lead at odds of 1.96. We are placing five units on our prediction. VBET offers some of the best odds for this betting tip.
