Jena-Aue Over 2.5 @ 1.9 canbet 5/10

The two relegaters from Bundesliga II both are expected to play for promotion but didn't win their first game. While Jena did a solid job drawing at Regensburg (having lead 2-0 already), Aue defeated to Braunschweig. Aue couldn't prodoce enough force to break a stable Braunschweig defence but they definately have an ambitous squad that has the wil to compensate the poor start with a win here, accordingly will tactcis look like. The out of two important defender let Jena switch to a more offensive formation so that we should get to see action in front of both goals. Also Jena have good potential, a risk might be that the teams have a quite new face. This is a derby and shown on TV what may be arguments for the over as well on the other hand.

VfR Aalen @ 1.75 sporting bet 5/10

Aalen host Jahn Regensburg and showed up in good early form winning 2-1 in Sandhausen what is a huge effort. The VfR Aalen gained further quality and especially experience so that they should play a good role in this league as well. Offence power has been impressing but defence has to improve compard to last season. Regensburg play a very good role for a promoter last season and also strengthened a little by a few signings. Yet these two teams differ in quality and I expect the home win at reasonable odds even though the Jahn won at Aalen last season.

Union Berlin (-0.25) AH @ 1.85 bet365 4/10 & Over 2.5 @ 1.85 canbet 4/10

Union disappointed in Munich but given the power that the team still has, odds seem worth a go on them. The awesome offence from previous season got further improved in midfield but the big worry stays defence. This might be the chance for Stuttgart II who always have been forcing, too. And the guests normally must score once or twice at least to sneak something I reckon as Union use to be reliable in terms of scoring. The host needs to improve in this one of course and Stuttgart use to have good youngsters in their rows but experience alone and the existing pressure should help Berlin to come to pace again. Stuttgart were rather lucky to draw 1-1 to Offenbach last weekend.

I've been thinking about the Wuppertal and Düsseldorf game but my confidence of these could be higher.

Wuppertal may beat Bayern but performances differed too much in first round in favour to Bayern.

Düsseldorf should be slight favourite but odds hardly represent value. I rather expect a few goals in this one besides, one reason is that the Kickers conceded two and Düsseldorf even four. Still defences use to be solid ones rather.

The same with Paderborn and U'haching but I'd be not surprised seeing both breaking the opposite defence. Two strong teams from which Paderborn possibly nick it at the end.

Good Luck.

Thank you McFly. Watching my first 3rd league game now, Jena game, football quality is very good and great atmosphere in the stadium

[petkar66]

Thanks McFly
Solid day

[McFly]

yeh the overs made my day again.

Jena-Aue really was worth watching, up and down in 2nd half.

I'm afraid the popular Aalen bet didn't come in but personally 3/4 are fair enough.

Braunschweig-Erfurt Over 2.5 @ 1.925 bet365 3/10

I think the over is the best bet in this one and realistic to come in. Still it's not without risk as Braunschweig probably won't concede as much this season as in last one. Erfurt will try to profit from counter attacks so that also the host might have problems to score. On the other hand, Erfurt will probably become dangerous enough thanks to the excellent offence play. First game got lost 0-1 to Dresden though where RWE couldn't profit from a good first half hour and being down, they couldn't threaten Dresden enough. Striker Bunjaku is back in squad but at first, hopes are on Rockenbach da Silva. This is a special game for Braunschweig, 17.000 fans are expected to welcome the quite promising new team. I guess the Eintracht is slight favourite but value seems to be on the guest's odds rather, the X/Erfurt Double Chance looks alright to me.

Odds are better at Pinnacle. They offer 2.03

1-1 FT. Braunschweig would have deserved the win but themselves and the Erfurt keeper prevented that.

Not an outstading round for me but at least 3 pts of profit.
