Second to last match-day of season and a very tight race on the top.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Nürnberg- Hamburg: under 2.5 @ 2.03
<o></o>
Not much to play for for both teams. Nürnberg struggled a bit lately, especially on the offensive side, but has secured an uefa-spot by reaching the cup-final. Hamburg cant be relegated since last week. Both teams struggling to score and I don’t see a reason to put any kind of effort in this game. Should be a boring low scoring game.<o></o>
<o></o>
Dortmund- Schalke: Schalke -0.5 @ 2.09
<o></o>
Very big match here. Schalke is the leader in a very tight race. This is their biggest hurdle before the champ. They have a very good history playing at Dortmund where they haven’t lost in last 6 seasons. They are full of confidence and everybody is looking forward to get the long desired championship. <o></o>
Only problem here is: it s Dortmund. Apart from the overall situation in the standings this is probably the biggest rivalry and derby in Germany. It s similar to celtic-rangers in scottland. <o></o>
Dortmund has nothing to play for regarding the standings, but after a disappointing season pride is on the line big time. This match is already highly emotional and completely over-hyped by media thru the week. <o></o>
But nevertheless I still go with the facts. Schalke is simply the better team here and with more will to win. Dortmund would love to bring them down but Schalke will have too much focus and skill for them. Dortmund also has problems at home this year coming mainly from pressure by their own fans. If Schalke can somehow take the lead the should have a fairly easy way to the win here.<o></o>
<o></o>
Bochum- Stuttgart: Bochum +0.5 @ 1.89 and over 2.5 @ 1.89 !! 2 units!<o></o>
<o></o>
Stuttgart just one point behind Schalke is made the favorite for the title in media. I am not quite sold on that. They won 6 in a row and played mostly fluently football, but they are a very young team who somehow got surprisingly in the situation playing for the championship.<o></o>
They didn’t really have the pressure so far as everybody was talking about Bremen and Schalke. But now they are very much hyped and aware of the situation. <o></o>
Bochum is no gimmie either. Winning 5 of last 6 games they are from a candidate for relegation suddenly in the hunt for an uefa-spot. They have put on a great streak of results during the run: winning at home vs. Schalke and beating Hamburg (3-0) and Leverkusen (4-1) in away games. Also Stuttgart won only once in last 7 games at Bochum. <o></o>
Both teams will go for the win and the game should be highly entertaining, but I like the chances for Bochum to get at least a point as they can play with less pressure.<o></o>
<o></o>
Mainz- Gladbach: Mainz –0.5,-1 @ 2.0
<o></o>
Mainz with a very small outside chance to stay in the league while Gladbach is already relegated. Gladbach is playing without any motivation and the club is more focused in off the pitch problems than on bringing the season to an decent end. They also have injury problems.<o></o>
For Mainz it s simply the last chance. At least they want to go down with a win infront of their home fans.<o></o>
<o></o>
Bielefeld- Hannover: Hannover pk @ 1.92 !! 2 units!!<o></o>
<o></o>
Biggest play of the day.Bielefeld secured the league last week. Bif celebrations during the week and nothing to play for. Hannover slowly climbed back in the race for uefa-spot or at least UI-Cup spot with 4 wins in a row. The whole club is pretty excited about the situation and whole city and team want to go to Europe. They are a solid away team and should get a win in this great situation with Bielefeld should not be really focused on the match.<o></o>
