14:30 Hannover 96 vs Borussia M.Gladbach - Prediction 2.1 Current Form * BMG have lost their last 5 away league matches * BMG failed to score in 4 of those 5 losses * BMG have lost their 5 of their last 6 league matches including each of the last 4 * BMG failed to score in those 4 losses * Hannover have won 6 of their last 11 home league matches including 3 of the last 5 * Hannover scored 2 goals or more in 5 of those 6 wins * Hannover have taken 9 points from their last 6 league games. BMG have taken 3 * Hannover are now 1 point ahead of BMG in the Bundesliga Past Meetings * None of the last 19 meetings between these two sides finished as a draw * 13 of the last 17 meetings went over 2.5 goals * 10 of the last 12 meetings have seen the home team win * Hannover have won 6 of their last 9 home matches against BMG * Hannover won 2.0 in last seasons corresponding fixture Final Verdict Ten of the last twelve meetings between these two outfits have seen the home team emerge victorious, and considering recent form, that sequence has every chance of continuing here with Hannover in much the better of form. Die Roten have performed pretty well on their own turf this season, winning 6 of their last 11 and with BMG losing 5 of their last 6 on the road, and 6 of their last 9 at Hannover, the home win seems to be overpriced @17/10 even if these two sides are evenly matched in the league standings with just 1 point separating the two teams. However, BMG are in really poor form, losing 4 on the spin without scoring and with Hannover performing well in recent weeks, winning 3 of their last 5 at home, I'm confident they won't lose this one, so Hannover DNB @5/6 is my best bet from this fixture with the hosts having every chance of claiming all 3 points against a struggling Moenchengladbach (spelled it right on the first go!). Best Bets Hannover DNB @5/6 - 3 stars Hannover to win @17/10 - 2 stars 14:30 VfB Stuttgart vs Eintracht Frankfurt - Prediction 1.2 Current Form * Frankfurt have won 6 of their last 10 away league matches * Frankfurt have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 away Bundesliga matches * Stuttgart have not seen BTTS in ANY of their last 5 home matches * Stuttgart have lost 3 of their last 5 home league matches. All 3 defeats came against top 6 opposition * Frankfurt are riding high in the Bundesliga, currently 3rd in the table behind Bayern and Dortmund * Stuttgart are unbeaten in their last 3 Bundesliga fixtures under their new boss, Tayfun Korkut Past Meetings * 11 of the last 12 meetings between these two sides saw BTTS including each of the last 9! * 10 of those 11 BTTS matches also went over 2.5 goals * 27 goals have been scored in the last 5 meetings * Each of the last 6 meetings in Stuttgart saw BTTS Final Verdict This fixture almost always sees BTTS with 11 of the last 12 seeing goals at both ends and that's the outcome I expect here with Frankfurt strong on the road, and Stuttgart strong at home and both sides playing pretty well in recent fixtures. Frankfurt have had a tremendous season so far, and with 6 wins from their last 10 on the road, they will be confident of claiming the spoils here with Stuttgart losing 3 of their last 5 at home, all against top 6 opponents. While the hosts did start the season in fine form at home, those recent defeats show that the away side here have a good chance of claiming the points although it certainly won't be easy with Stuttgart improving defensively in recent matches under their new coach, Tayfun Korkut. An away win is priced @2/1 but the safer option of DNB @11/10 tempts more with the visitors only losing 2 of their last 11 away league matches. Best Bets BTTS @4/5 - 2.5 stars Frankfurt DNB @11/10 - 2 stars 14:30 Hoffenheim vs Freiburg - Prediction 2.2 Current Form * Hoffenheim have seen BTTS in each of their last 7 Bundesliga matches * Hoffenheim have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 home league matches. * 4 of those 5 matches also went over 2.5 goals * 11 goals were scored in Hoffenheim's last 2 home league matches. Both matches saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored * Hoffenheim have lost 4 of their last 7 league matches, winning just 1 * Freiburg have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches * Freiburg have seen BTTS in each of their last 6 away Bundesliga matches * 5 of those 6 matches also went over 2.5 goals * Freiburg have conceded 2 goals or more in 12 of their last 14 away Bundesliga matches * Freiburg actually conceded 3 or more in 10 of those matches * Freiburg have lost only 1 of their last 5 away league matches. They had lost 8 of the previous 9 * Freiburg have lost just 1 of their last 11 league matches. * Freiburg have taken 20 points from their last 11 league matches. They had taken only 8 points from their previous 12 league matches Past Meetings * 11 of the last 12 meetings saw BTTS * 7 of those 11 also went over 2.5 goals * Each of the last 4 meetings in Hoffenheim has seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored Final Verdict - Goals The stats are really strong for this fixture with both past meetings and recent form suggesting we should be in for an entertaining and high-scoring contest in Hoffenheim. Freiburg have leaked 30 goals in just 11 away matches this season but have shown some much-improved form in recent weeks, losing only 1 of their last 11 Bundesliga matches while Hoffenheim have been very much up and down themselves with BTTS the only consistency in their results. BTTS looks very solid @4/6 in a match that I expect to go over 2.5 goals as well so the double @20/21 makes sense as well while I'm also quite tempted by the 6/5 on Freiburg not to lose with the visitors doing much better in recent away fixtures as well. Best Bets BTTS @4/6 - 4 stars BTTS and over 2.5 goals @20/21 - 3 stars Freiburg or draw @5/4 - 2.5 stars 17:30 Werder Bremen vs Hamburger SV - Prediction 2.0 Current Form * Werder are unbeaten in their last 6 home league matches, winning 3 and drawing 3 * Werder scored 2 goals or more in 5 of their last 9 league matches * Werder have taken 15 points from their last 10 league matches * Hamburg have taken 4 points from their last 10 league matches * Hamburg have lost 8 of their last 10 away league matches * Hamburg conceded 2 goals or more in 7 of those 8 losses * Hamburg have not won any of their last 10 league matches. * Hamburg failed to score in 5 of those 10 matches * Hamburg have lost 6 of their last 8 league matches Past Meetings * Werder have won 6 of their last 7 home matches against Hamburg * 4 of the last 5 meetings saw BTTS * Werder won 2.1 in last seasons corresponding fixture Final Verdict Werder has been in much the better form and should be confident of winning this Nordderby with Hamburg losing 6 of their last 8 and struggling badly for both goals and points in recent weeks and throughout the season. Hamburg have lost 6 of their last 7 trips to Bremen and that doesn't bode well for a side that desperately need to win here with 6 points separating these two sides near the foot of the table and given Bremen's much better form, I expect the home side to emerge with the spoils again @4/5 odds. Best Bets Werder to win @4/5- 3 stars Werder to score 2 or more @10/11 - 2.5 stars Comments are closed.
