Liking this card a lot, think these plays go 4-0. Maybe a push, don't see a loss! Here we go...
Hamburg +0.5 EV... Hamburg back in form, two wins and a draw in last three road games and quickly climbing back up the standings. Think they win this one straight up, play them on the moneyline too if you're up for it (I know I will)
Leverkusen/Wolfsburg over 3 +105... Last eight meetings between the two teams in Wolfsburg: 3-2, 2-3, 2-3, 2-1, 1-2, 3-2, 2-1, 2-2. Wolfsburg have rediscovered their scoring touch while Leverkusen scoring in bunches this year. Should fly over.
Monchengladbach pk -110... Grueger Furth is a road team. Four losses and just one draw at home this season as opposed to a win, three draws and just one loss on the road. Gladbach focusing efforts on the Bundesliga, quickly turning this around. After some key losses this offseason they're finding the chemistry they've been lacking.
Stuttgart EV... Two teams moving in opposite directions. Stuttgart started really slow, back on track with three wins and two draws in their last five (picking up wins against Nurnburg, Hamburg and Eintracht, drawing Dortmund and Leverkusen). After a quick start, Hannover have won just won of their last five, while losing three of them. The wear and tear of European competition is taking its toll on them. Stuttgart are 17-2-1 at home to Hannover in last 20. Also 5-0-1 home to Hannover since 2007.
Good luck, let's get this sweeeeeeeep!

stuttgart, levenkausen were two picks that were close for me...both played thursday so i am cutting off all games after europa...maybe malaga yesterday isn't a reason to skip them but i just don't want to get caught twice in 2 days....gl ...you're starting to sound like a service with this 4-0 talk..haha....
Weekend picks, I'm in a rush guys but I'll put quick write ups here.
Greuther Furth +2 +105 (The visitors have been much better on their travels this season than at home. They catch a Dortmund team who face a huge game midweek at the Amsterdam Arena against Ajax where they can book a spot in the last 16 with a win. Look for them to be caught sleeping and escape with a narrow victory)
Schalke/Leverkusen under 3 -120 (Big game for table placement, I expect a tightly fought contest. Schalke are solid defensively while Leverkusen will do the best they can to pick up three points, which means containing Huntelaar, Farfan, Draxler and the Schalke attack. I see a 2-0, 1-1 final here.)
Hoffenheim +120 (Hoffenheim need three points. They've been inconsistent to start the season but lucky for them they get a visit from Wolfsburg who have struggled immensely on their travels this season. Back the home side to pick up a full three points here against a team they have fared well against in recent years at home.
