Last week went pretty well for me, Schalke/Frankfurt went under and won both Dortmund +0.5 and Hertha +0.25, lost Duisburg/Bayern under 3. Who would expect a Bayern team missing Toni, Klose and Ribery to score 3 in 20 minutes !
Anyway, many picks for next weekend :
Leverkusen v Bremen under 3.5 +104. Two of the highest scoring teams in the league against each other, but I still like the under - 3.5 is one hell of a high total, and both teams are playing for pretty high stakes so neither will be careless - also, all of Bremens away games against the strong teams (Bayern, HSV, Schalke) have gone under. Additionally, Bremen has looked solid defensively when Frings played, and he will be back from suspension.
Bremen pk+100 for half a bet. This probably could have been a full bet, i now don't know what I was worried about. Leverkusen is in terrible form, and Bremen is playing great recently.
Stuttgart -0.75-127 vs Bielefeld. Both teams have to win, one is at home and actually good (minus the goalkeeper), and the other one is Bielefeld. Also, Bielefeld could have even less to play for than Stuttgart if Schalke takes the lead in Nurnberg.
Hannover 96 -0.5-139 vs Energie Cottbus. Tricky, since Energie has become a decent team, but I figure now that they have secured another year in the league they will have spent a week partying, and Hannover will want to redeem themselves for the spanking they got both last week from Bremen and in the winter in Cottbus.
Schalke pk-101. All the same reasons as last week. Perhaps i will be proven wrong, but Schalke is just a MUCH better team than Nurnberg, and they do have automatic CL qualification to play for.
Bayern -1.25+105 for half a bet. Another tricky one, especially since Hertha has been playing well since they got their attacking options back, but Bayern surely must want to end their season in style.
HSV/Karlsruhe under3+107 for half a bet. Karlsruhe plays tight away from home, and Hamburg has had trouble scoring lately. Miller can't have as bad a day as he had last weekend either. |
