last day of the season:
Dortmund-Cottbus: Dortmund to win
Dortmund will clinch with a home win. CCottbus in last plays should be no big challenge. Easy winner
Stuttgart-Wolfsburg:
Interesting game her. Stuttgart needs one point for CL qualification. but they struggled lately. in last 3 weeks when team starts talking officially about the CL they dont play so free as they used to.Could be a problem here.
Wolfsburg still got a chance for UI-cup spot with a win.they are dangerous and i like their chances for a possible upset here
Schalke-Bayern:
schalke with ui-cup on line. But it's a complete open game
Gladbach-Bremen: Bremen to win
Gladbach is still in danger of relegation, but they lead Bielefeld by 3 points and 5 goals. it looke safe, especially considering their recent strength at home. But pressure will play a big role in this game.
Bremen played great football lately and can secure uefa-cup with a win. i like their chances to win here. They are in better form and i expect gladbach to struggle. they will defend,cause in their minds they can loose in a close one.
i'll go with the better team here.
Bielefeld-Hannover: bielefeld to win
Hannover secured 1.liga with a goal in 93.minute last week. they are celebrating whole week.
Bielefeld has to win and hope for a mistake by leverkusen or gladbach. They will win,and they will win big, by a minimum of 2 goals. if there is the situation that bremen takes lead it could get ugly for hannover
Nürnberg-Leverkusen:
Leverkusen can avoid relegation with a win. Special situation they have new coach since last week. the coach who was fired by nürnberg 4 weeks ago.
i think Leverkusen's coach change brings them in a dangerous situation here.
When he was sacked it was a really wired situation in Nürnberg: all fans stood absolutely behind the coach. the deciding factor for sending him on the road was a votum by players against him.
The hype of fan support for him was so big that Nürnberg'S club president postponed the sacking by one week. result was that team lost 0-4 in at errible performanc in hamburg.
Fore sure Nürnberg is playing for nothing and leverkusen should win easy, but i expect Nürnberg's players to give 100%. They were against the coach and will be motivated to take him with them to 2.Bundesliga.
It might be a strange situation in stadium. Fans maybe will support leverkusen, cause the like their old coach, but players will give all they have to beat him.
Leverkusen win, but no walk over.
!!!NEWS!!! rumors in germany are that this game is giving already to leverkusen. that theory is linked to the coach change. IMO, it will not be the case. i see nürnberg'S players give it a full go. but what looks curious is that suddenly 5 nürnberg players are injured this weak. 2 key defense players are out and two youngsters will play instead.
Hambuirg-Rostock: Hamburg to win big
Hamburg simply will win. i dont expect that to be close.rostock is playing for nothing. if hamburg wins and stuttgart looses to wolfsburg they even get a chance for cl if they can make up 6 goals. in a scenarion where, for what reason ever, wolfsburg takes the lead i expect rostock's players step totally aside and let hamburg score at will. their will be friendship betwenn these two clubs from the north of germany if hamburg need goals.
My top play for the weekend
Parlay: Hamburg to win at 1.3, Dortmund to win at 1.2 and Bielefeld to win at 1.55 for a total of 2.41
BOL to all
