Bayern drew while Leipzig lost: it’s the perfect setup for this football betting weekend!
The supposed alpha clubs are showing signs of weakness, and the rest of the chasing pack need to make the most out of this precious opportunity. Frankfurt, Dortmund and Hoffenheim are edging closer to the top, making for exciting betting odds and hectic football.
Are you ready for another weekend of Bundesliga goodness? I sure am.
WEEK 20 SATURDAY:
Mainz 05 vs Augsburg
Mainz were badly trumped by Hoffenheim while Augsburg barely managed to fend off Werder Bremen at home. Daniel Baier, one of Augsburg’s best players, has been sidelined with Achilles tendon problems for two games, so the visitor’s midfield will be a bit suspect to attack.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Bayer Leverkusen are already feeling the effects of losing Hakan Calhanoglu to a court-ordered suspension: they failed to create many scoring chances during their shocking 1-0 defeat to Hamburg. They may see themselves fall as far as thirteenth if they don’t manage to upset Eintracht Frankfurt at the BayArena.
Ingolstadt vs Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich were definitely shocked by Schalke when the final score was decided before even a third of the first half has passed. Carlo Ancelotti would have definitely made his adjustments by the time his side visits second-bottom Ingolstadt. Despite the hosts’ big win over Hamburger SV, I don’t think they can outplay the deep Bayern roster.
Werder Bremen vs Borussia Monchengladbach
Werder Bremen are dangerously close to the drop zone, so a win against Borussia Monchengladbach is vital for them. However, Die Fohlen are especially prolific in front of goal, scoring five goals in their last two games. I don’t think Bremen can easily turn their form around, so Borussia Monchengladbach -0.25 @ 2.11 is not a bad punt to make.
Darmstadt 98 vs Borussia Dortmund
Save the embarrassing actions of a select few, Dortmund fans had a grand time when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lifted the BVB to win against RB Leipzig. They will be making a hard push to the top, and a win against a struggling Darmstadt side should not be a problem for Thomas Tuchel.
RB Leipzig vs Hamburger SV
Thanks to their loss at the Signal-Iduna-Park, Leipzig will have to toil harder to catch up to Bayern Munich. While they are more than capable of winning against Hamburg, they shouldn’t underestimate the fact that the Markus Gisdol-led side held Leverkusen and Cologne to goalless defeats.
The Red Shorts will play exciting football and should keep the game tight, so Hamburg +1.00 @ 2.06 is the way to go.
WEEK 20 SUNDAY:
Schalke 04 vs Hertha BSC
Schalke reminded everyone that they can still play with the big boys after their 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena. They should come into this match a little more confident after roughhousing 2. Bundesliga side Sandhausen in the German Cup. Meanwhile, Berlin’s meeting with Dortmund on Thursday should make them extra exhausted for this match.
Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim
Wolfsburg are still trying to clog the hole Julian Draxler left on their roster, but the threat of relegation looms ever so close. This situation would cause nightmares on many a manager, and Hoffenheim’s upcoming Sunday visit is probably adding a lot of stress on Valerien Ismael’s already heavy shoulders.
WEEK 20 MONDAY:
Freiburg vs Koln
Cologne’s shock defeat at Hamburg may have rattled their confidence a bit, but Peter Stoger and his high-flying attackers shouldn’t have any problem crushing the inconsistent Freiburg in this mid-table tie. The Brazilians of Breisgau suffered a second-half collapse at Gladbach and should reform their line quickly if they hope to stop Anthony Modeste from scoring.
