Good afternoon folks, we have an action packed evening of football ahead of us and I have already previewed the best of the action from Serie A and we move on now to another favourite league of mine, the Bundesliga. There are 5 fixtures on offer tonight and I’ve picked out 4 of them for some of my suggested bets and predictions. On a normal day like this, I will post previews for the games with suggested bets which will be followed later in the day by my “best bets” – these are all taken from the “suggested bets” but will be paired up as doubles and trebles for the best bets which will be advised on my staking plan. If you have any questions, feel free to tweet me @bobreaksbookies or find me on facebook as Bo Bookies. Here’s what I’ve come up with from “die beste liga der Werlt” – Well that’s what they say in Germany. Bundesliga
19:00 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund – Prediction -1.4 – Suggested Bets – BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6, Key Facts * Dortmund have won all 11 of their fixtures so far this season, scoring 39 goals in the processs * Dortmund have won 6 in a row in the Bundesliga, scoring 2 or more in all 6 including a 3.0 home win over Leverkusen this past weekend * Dortmund have scored 8 goals in 2 league away fixtures so far this season * Dortmund have won by more than 1 goal in 5 successive league victories * Dortmund have scored at least 3 goals in their last 6 matches in the Bundesliga. * There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Borussia Dortmund’s last 7 games in the Bundesliga. * Dortmund have kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 away league fixtures * There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Hoffenheim’s last 6 games in the Bundesliga * Hoffenheim have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 at home. They have scored in 18 of their last 20 home league fixtures * Hoffenheim have failed to win in 5 league fixtures * Hoffenheim have lost 4 of their last 6 home league fixtures * Dortmund have scored 20 goals in their last 7 away league fixtures * 7 of the last 8 meetings between these two sides have seen BTTS and 5 of those also went over 2.5 goals * Hoffenheim have scored in 18 of their last 20 home fixtures and in 36 from 39 going back 2 years. Final Verdict – An away win with goals very likely All signs point to goals here with Dortmund in fantastic form but alway liable of conceding. Historically this fixture is great in the market and both sides like to go forward. I can’t see past an away win but I expect the home side to score as they usually tend to do so I’m taking BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6 in what should be yet another victory for a red hot Dortmund. 19:00 Borussia M.Gladbach vs Augsburg- Prediction – 0.1 - Suggested Bets – Augsburg to win @13/5 Key Facts * Last season’s runners up Borussia M.Gladbach have lost all 7 fixtures this season and their last 6 matches in the Bundesliga. * Manager Lucien Favre has resigned following their dismal start to the new season * There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Borussia M.Gladbach’s previous 4 home fixtures in the Bundesliga * Augsburg have seen 4 of their last 6 on the road also go over 2.5 goals * Augsburg have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches against Borussia M.Gladbach * Augsburg have won their last 3 matches against Borussia M.Gladbach in all competitions. Final Verdict – Away win at big odds possible against deflated home side Augsburg are more than capable of upsetting the odds here against a Monechengladbach side that have fallen off a cliff following their superb season last year. I don’t imagine the departure of their coach this week will have helped morale and with Augsburg’s fine 3.1 win @Moenchengladbach fresh in the memory from the last day of the season, I fancy we could see another away win here at a big price of 13/5. It’s not a “best bet” but it certainly is one fixture where we could see a surprise result with Moenchengladbach flat on their back in terms of morale and having lost each of their last 3 to Augsburg, this is definitely not the team they wanted to be facing now. 19:00 Hannover 96 vs VfB Stuttgart – Prediction – 2.2 – Suggested Bets – BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6 Key Facts * Hannover have seen BTTS in 10 of their last 11 home Bundesliga fixtures – that’s a 91% hit rate * 6 of those 10 BTTS fixtures also produced more than 2.5 goals * Hannover have scored in 14 of their last 15 home fixtures, and in 18 out of 20 going back 1 year * Hannover have lost 4 in a row and have just 1 point this season * They did manage to score 2 at home to Dortmund in a 4.2 defeat in their most recent home fixture * Hannover have only 2 clean sheets in 15 home fixtures * Hannover have won only 2 of their last 23 Bundesliga fixtures. They have drawn 9 and lost 11. * Stuttgart have seen BTTS in 6 successive away Bundesliga fixtures. All 6 also produced 3 goals or more. * Indeed all 7 of the Stuttgart’s most recent away fixtures have seen more than 2.5 goals * Suttgart have seen 12 of their last 14 Bundesliga fixtures producing BTTS – That’s an 86% hit rate * 10 of their last 13 games on the road have also produced BTTS – that’s a 77% hit rate * Stuttgart have scored in 14 of their last 17 away games and 8 goals in their last 5. * 3 of the last 5 meetings in Hannover have seen BTTS but 2 of the last 3 finished 0.0 * Stuttgart are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Hannover in all competitions. Final Verdict – Two struggling sides desperately in need of 3 points Both sides have failed to win this season with just 1 point gained between them. Sttugart are the more creative team and you would imagine that with both sides leaking chances, we should see some goals. I imagine the urgency of 3 point will drive both on in attack and we should see an open game as a result. It is still early days but both sides are in the relegation zone and both will feel this is a must win fixture, even in the month of September. BTTS is awful short @1/2 so I might try BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6 with the stats suggesting that bet has every chance here. Based on the stats, goals seem pretty likely here but with both sides struggling for form, I expect chances to be taken in the search for a winner and that looks likely to produce goals at both ends. 19:00 – Schalke v E Frankfurt – Prediction 2.1- Suggested Bets – BTTS @8/15 , BTTS and over 2.5 goals @4/5 Key Facts * Schalke have won back to back games in the Bundesliga and sit 4th with 10 points from 5 games * Eintracht Frankfurt have 8 points from 5 games and are unbeaten in 4 * Schalke have lost just 1 in 11 at home in the Bundesliga * Eintracht Frankfurt have won only 1 in 14 away league fixtures * 3 of Schalke’s last 5 home fixtures have seen BTTS * Schalke have just 2 clean sheets from their last 8 home Bundesliga fixtures * Frankfurt have just 2 clean sheets from their last 21 away Bundesliga fixtures * Frankfurt have seen BTTS in 15 of their last 20 away Bundesliga fixtures going back 1 year – that’s a 75% hit rate * Eintracht Frankfurt have scored 17 goals in their last 8 Bundesliga fixtures but 0 in their last away trip to Hamburg * Schalke are undefeated in their last 13 home matches against Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions. * Schalke have scored 2 goals or more in 5 of their 6 home meetings with Frankfurt * 4 of the last 5 meetings between these 2 sides at Schalke have seen BTTS including last season’s corresponding fixture, a 2.2 draw. Final Verdict – BTTS likely when Frankfurt are on the road. I expect goals here with both sides looking dangerous in attack but both also struggling with the noble art of defending. Clean sheets are a rarity for the visitors who have also shown in recent weeks how strong they are in attack. Alexander Meier’s returns to fitness has been a major boost to their 3 pronged attack Dutch International Luc Castaignos and Haris Seferovic. I’m going for BTTS @8/15 and BTTS and over 2.5 goals @4/5 in what could be a decent encounter in Gelsenkirchen. Suggested Bets (in order of confidence) Schalke v E Frankfurt – BTTS @8/15 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund -BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6 Schalke vs E Frankfurt – BTTS and over 2.5 goals @4/5 Hannover 96 vs VfB Stuttgart – BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/6 Borussia M.Gladbach vs Augsburg – Augsburg to win @13/5 by Ryan Allan Comments are closed.
