It was a brilliant weekend of tipping with eight of my nine German Bundesliga picks coming through! Talk about red hot form! It will be difficult to replicate that but I’m feeling pretty confident ahead of round 20. Let’s find out what’s good on the betting front!
Standings provided by Sofascore LiveScore
Hannover 17/4
Draw 31/10
Leipzig 6/10
(21:30)
Hannover lie second from bottom on the standings and have the worst home record in the league. They were thrashed 5-1 at Borussia Dortmund last time out, making it three defeats in a row. Leipzig hammered Dusseldorf 4-0 and will be looking to build on that. The relegation candidates are fighting for their lives in the danger zone and won’t make this easy for the Red Bulls. However, Leipzig should do enough to come away with maximum points.
Saturday 2 February
Hoffenheim 9/20
Draw 38/10
Dusseldorf 52/10
(16:30)
Hoffenheim ended a run of nine matches without a victory after thrashing Freiburg 4-2 last time out. They will take on Dusseldorf who were on a four-game winning streak prior to their 4-0 drubbing on home soil at the hands of Hoffenheim. The hosts have been out of form but last week’s win would have been a moral boosting win if anything. Dusseldorf will be looking to get back to winning ways and should at least get a goal. Both Teams to Score – Yes – is tipped at 5/10.
Bayer Leverkusen 9/2
Draw 36/10
Bayern Munich 5/10
(16:30)
Bayer Leverkusen have been in great form with three wins from their last four matches, including a 3-0 victory away to Wolfsburg last weekend. Bayern Munich have been brilliant with seven consecutive wins and will be looking to add to that. The last four meetings between these sides have produced 20 goals at an average of five per match. Get on the Over 3.5 Goals market at 19/20.
Eintracht Frankfurt 23/10
Draw 26/10
Borussia Dortmund 21/20
(16:30)
Eintracht Frankfurt come off the back of an exciting 2-2 draw away to Werder Bremen. Table-toppers Borussia Dortmund have been outstanding with 15 wins from 19 matches, scoring 50 goals and conceding just 19 times. The last six head-to-heads have seen each team find the back of the net. I’m backing first half – Both Teams to Score – Yes – at 23/10!
Hertha Berlin 13/10
Draw 47/20
Wolfsburg 2/1
(16:30)
Hertha Berlin were held to a 2-2 draw at home against Schalke last time out, while Wolfsburg suffered their second straight defeat, going down 3-0 on home soil against a rampant Bayer Leverkusen side. A cagey affair is on the cards with both sides struggling for consistency. The Totals – Under 2.5 Goals – market looks well worth a punt at 17/20.
Nuremburg 26/10
Draw 26/10
Werder Bremen 19/20
(16:30)
Nuremburg have been absolutely dreadful with six consecutive defeats. The basement-dwellers have registered just two wins from 19 matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding 43 times. Werder Bremen have battled to maintain winning form but have looked fairly decent on their travels of late. The hosts are on a downward spiral and look far from a team capable of turning that form around. Back Werder Bremen to edge the win.
Schalke 27/20
Draw 47/20
Monchengladbach 2/1
(19:30)
Schalke are unbeaten in their last three matches, including two wins and a 2-2 draw at Hertha Berlin last weekend. Monchengladbach have been superb at home but their away form has let them down this season. The last six meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the back of the net. Both Teams to Score – Yes – is the way to go at 7/10.
Sunday 3 February
Augsburg 23/20
Draw 49/20
Mainz 9/4
(16:30)
Augsburg have been diabolical as they are winless in their last 10 matches with seven losses, including three on the spin. Mainz were impressive last time out as they made it back-to-back wins with a 2-1 home win over Nuremburg. The Carnival club have lost just one of their last seven games and will be looking to get another positive result here. Take Mainz on the Win/Draw Double Chance at 13/20.
Stuttgart 23/20
Draw 49/20
Freiburg 23/10
(19:00)
Relegation-threatened Stuttgart have been dismal in recent weeks with four losses on the trot. Their opponents, Freiburg, have also been poor of late with two defeats on the bounce. While no team has scored fewer goals than Stuttgart this season (15), Freiburg have been dried up in the goal scoring department away from home. With that being said, the Totals – Under 2.5 Goals – market is tipped at 9/10.
