1. Bundesliga
Schalke- Hannover: over 2.5,3 @1.95
I like Scvhalke to win here as they are on a good 6-1-1 run and aiming to clinch a champ league spot, but -1 or -1.25 is too much and probably th e right number. therefore i ll go with the over. Schalke is very solid at home and playing much better on offense lately especially under the new coach the team seems to play a bit more positive on offense.
Hannover is playing mixed football lately and they might be dangerous here, but for sure they are back to their "over"-style with a weak defense but always able to score. last 4 games have seen at least 4 goals. i expect them to score here today and that should lead to an over.
Bielefeld- Bochum: under 2.5 @ 2.05
Tough game here. Bochum has nothing really to play for , but they have a very,very solid history at Bielefeld. Even with nothing to play for they are usually a dangerous team, especially away where they can go on counter-attack. they played the last 3 games under (and 7 of last 9)which comes basically at the same time as they dont have to go for points anymore.
Bielefeld is still in big fight against relegation. they played better lately and got next to some away draws especially solid home performances with important wins. But overally the games are always low scoring (7 of last 9 went under)as they play from a strong defense.
Bremen- Cottbus: Bremen -1.5 @ 1.87
Bremen is on a solid stretch. After three won games they drew 3-3 at Karlsruhe a game they should have won, but had too many defensive collapses. Today Diego is out with injury but i dont expect that to be a big difference. they should continue their good stretch towards 2nd/3rd place.
Cottbus is playing against relegation and they are red hot. they have won 4 of last 5 games with the only loss a 0-5 at Schalke. they are winning their games with big fighting performances, but i see a little let down for them here. After their recent performances they dont need points here and that could prove enough mental set-back to loose here big time as they did at Schalke. it s simply a tough spot for them and they will probably get the required points next week at home against more equal opposition
STuttgart- Frankfurt: STuttgart -1@ 2.05
Stuttgart is playing a bit on/off lately. But mainly they play well at home (winning last 5) while struggling away. Still they are on a good run towards uefa-spots and need this win to stay in tight race.
Frankfurt is struggling big time right now in midfield with only one point from last 4 games (last week at home to weak Dortmund). they have no real motivation forthat game and Stuttgart at home should prove too much for them.
BOL to all
