Borussia M'gladbach v SC Freiburg

Motivation speaks for the guests to sneak something from Gladbach but I agree that we can expect Gladbach to give their best and to profit from their run. They could play against the big rival Köln theoretically but I doubt they are considering this. The Borussia scored 19 times in last five and reached a very good shape lately winning last five home games. They deserve to be champion having been most consistent overall as given quality paid out. Slight chances for promotion remained after the unlucky home defeat to Offenbach but they are really tiny as neither Köln nor Hoffenheim may win twice in what I can't see them still believing. Nevertheless, we have to expect an engaged Freiburg but there has also been the away weakness of Freiburg. They just won at 1860 mainly due to a high efficiency but often lacked of the forward-playing and attitude from the home games. We all know that Freiburg can play good football but so can the Borussia who have been in better shape besides.

M'gladbach @ 2.1 William Hill 4/10


1.FC Köln v FSV Mainz

What a promotion clash and it was likely weeks ago yet that this one may take influence on the race. Both teams can achieve to stand above the crucial line with a win after this round, Köln in that way even can make promotion perfect. One reason for them to go for victory, regarding their power and the last game at Kaiserslautern they are right to do so anyway. Köln on time are on fire and they've found to consistency thanks to the proper attitude and thus more aggression that could be seen in the Hoffenhei game. Defense look more stable lately and Broich, Antar and Helmes are the various outstanding players in offense. There hardly is a team in this league who can stop them if Köln start attacking so that they are favourite for reason, but still paid quite well. This could be the last chance for Mainz of course, in case of a Hoffenheim win over Offenbach. They weren't that bad against Aachen but could have come to more chances and missed a little luck also. But Mainz haven't been in best shape but can play better than that of course, especially in such a game. The guests might profit from an open play and from not facing an only destroying side. I don't see Mainz without a chance but preference definately has to go to the home side. Köln with six Overs in last eight and Mainz with six of seven so that the Over impression is backed by the stats. I'm quite sure of a few goals and thus have to risk some on the Over especially.

Over 2.5 @ 1.72 stan james 7/10
Köln (-0.25) AH @ 1.73 betdaq 5/10


Carl Zeiss Jena v Kaiserslautern

Relegated Jena surely want to give a last good home performance after the horrible 0-5 in Aue. So play got to improve a lot therefor what appears doubtful without Ziegner and Simak and with no hope left. Jena recently came to two home draws recently but I doubt we will see Jena still that engaged and straight. Kaiserslautern have become hard to beat besides and gained confidence should make this game easier for them. Closest rival Koblenz bizarely were added two points back after the suspension of eight ones and thus have a two-point gap to them. There are numerous teams in touch, so if Lautern can come to further points, rescue will be realistic. Three of four games have been won lately, the defeat to Mainz in previous away game was a close one.

Kaiserslautern @ 1.6 William Hill 5/10
