after a great start now on to saturday
Bielefeld- Schalke: Schalke -0.5 @ 2.05
That s a must play whatever the situation is. Bielefeld is struggling big time overall, but at least the draw last week gave the some hope. Schalke is coming of the big defense performance in ECL at Porto and although there had to be celebrations and fatigue I still see them in the better position here. They didn’t let a couple of players play at Porto due to diszipline reason, which they can use here again , so rest should hopefully not be a problem.
Big reason to play Schalke here is the fact that this is treated as a home game. If you are from Germany you know that Bielfeld is Schalke –Country. When you grow up in small town Bielefeld you are supposed to be a Schalke fan…that creates a very friendly atmosphere for them leading usually to good results. They won the last 3 games here without conceiding a goal…it s usually a 1-0,2-0 type of game.
Stuttgart- Bremen: Bremen +0.5,pk @ 1.84
Stuttgart struggling overall with Khedina injured. Bremen coming off disappointing 0-2 loss at Rangers, but were the better team here. Bundesliga is a different situation for them anyway where they are in hunt for München and usually respond well. Diego is still suspended for them, but they have shown last week that they can do without him. A draw is likely, especially with Bremen having a solid history at Stuttgart
Wolfsburg- Cottbus: Wolfsburg -0.5,-1 @ 1.90
Wolfsburg although loosing last week is on a big positive trend. They are strong at home, while Cottbus has it s problems away and probably has better spots to get points. I am simply going with the better team playing at home here.
Not playing the over as I feel the Wolfsburg might reverse the trend a bit and go under in next weeks. They have a new goalie who is brilliant and straightens out the defensive problems they had.
München- KArlsruhe: München -1.5 @ 1.96
München the leader is coming off a great 5-0 away win in uefa-cup...this was like a training game and they rested and substituted many players. so rest is no problem here. Ze Roberto and van Bommel are suspended which should make the team a bit more offensive. Karlsruhe, although winning last week at home, start to come daown a bit. they are still doing well for their standards, but they are vulnurable as seen in latest 1-3 away loss to STuttgart. München in need for home win should win here by 2 goals.
i have a leaning to the over, but it depends on karlsruhe. if they score the over will hit. they should be able to score as they are usually trying to go forward, but München plays tough defense.

2. Bundesliga
Jena- Wehen: over 2.5 @ 1.87 !! 2 units!!
Jena is the bottom team in the league and besides being in the cup semi they have a hugh task not to get relegated. they playing not so bad, but cant get the important wins. Because it s a home game and probably their last real chance i am not having a side play here. that even with surprise Wehen coming off 4 straight wins. but they are simply on a good run, but playing big time over capability. they are not dominant to back them here.
the over is a different story. Jena is a big over teams:
Besides the last game (2-0 loss) the 8 games before have seen all at least 3 goals in total and always with both teams on the board.
With Wehen 4 of last 6 went over and last 9 have seen at least 2 goals. so scoring should be guaranteed with them also, especially being on a good run
Aue- Osnabrück: Aue -0.5 @ 2.04 and over 2.5,3 @1.99
both teams in relegation trouble. Aue is getting the points mostly at home. even as the 15th team they have only lost 1 home game whole season and coming off two big ones in a row. Last 4 games went over the number.
Osnabrück is struggling a bit lately, but that s the situation this teams usually puts up a big fight. they have shown they can score (also away), but are very vulnurable at defense. 8 of last 11 games went over the number..it should be at least 3 goals here.
Köln- Koblenz: Köln -0.5,-1 @ 1.89 !! 2 units!!
Köln in promotion hunt. they gave away a 2-0 lead at top team fürth last week to draw, but have shown improvement in this game. at home they are solid, especially against mid- or lower table teams like Koblenz.
Koblenz. Koblenz has won two in a row against two bottom teams, but besides that shows no particular form. it s a must win for Köln and they will be focused enough to get it over an outmatched Koblenz
Mainz- Offenbach: Offenbach +1 @ 2.08
It is Mainz a top team vs Offenbach a bottom team, but Mainz is struggling a bit lately and is not able to put teams away. Offenbach, a bit un-noticed, has not lost in last 8 games, which is a solid sign that they are staying in every game, even against the better teams. it might be a home win, but Offenbach should keep it close.

1.Bundesliga
Leverkusen- Hannover: Leverkusen -0.5,-1 @ 1.96
Great result for Leverkusen with 1-0 win over Hamburg in uefa-cup, where they didn’t really go for a win. It was a very boring game with no big efford by both teams. So rest is no problem here. In league Leverkusen is on a great run especially at home. They will go back to their usually offensive style which should be too much for a Hannover team, which is especially away vulnerable right now.
Nürnberg- Hamburg: Hamburg pk,-0.5 @ 2.12 and under 2.5 @ 1.85
Nürnberg struggling overall, but especially on offense. Suspension of Koller will not help their scoring also. Hamburg playing solid defense and under games anyway.
Hamburg has a very solid history at Nürnberg (lost only 1 game in last 7 here) . As said before rest is not a problem for Hamburg and they are really motivated to stay on pace with München and Bremen in the league.

big injury problems for Stuttgart. two suspension , Cacau is out and now Gomez is a late scretch (he can maybe play last 10 minutes the coach just said as he has problems with muscle, but will not start)
this is hugh for Stuttgart as he is the red hot striker.
therefore
Cottbus- Stuttgart: Cottbus +0.5 @ 1.83
