Germany - Bundesliga II and Other Leagues (7-10 April 06)

[fat]

Great thanks to McFly. Fantastic job as usual, especially the Offenbach call. I'm amazed at how you could keep up the good works every week.
Aachen have been my banker for quite a long time now, they deliver both home and away. I don't know why the bookies still offer great odds on them. Aachen are on fire really.

[McFly]

Cheers fat for the nice words!

we still will get some use out of Aachen's run I guess.

Maybe expert McFly could provide some ?

Hi Skin! I'm looking for a Regionalliga Lay now,

would be strange if there was no good 1.

Bayreuth v Pfullendorf
well there are only few games this round that offer an attractive Lay, but this 1 belongs to. Bayreuth are not thru relegation yet though thay had some wins in late time. Their problem has been to have many injuries. Seufert is out here too, and goalgetter Sajaja is still doubtful. Bayreuth have done a good job with reduced squad, but there was need of some luck. Pfullendorf is struggling even more, at least with 1 game less they can egalise the points of the side before them. Pfullendorf are not down yet, they showed it in the impressive home games against ambitious Elversberg (3:1) and Augsburg (2:2). If Pfullendorf are able to submit the uptrend and play like recently, they have every chance to get something at Bayreuth. Still it's not the best pick of this Regionalliga round and should not be played with more than medium stake.

RL Nord

Saturday 13:00


Jena v St Pauli
This is the top game of the round. 2nd Jena host Pauli, who are only 3 points behind and thus are still hoping for BL II. Jena play an excellent season, still it would be some sort of surprise if they would make it. Nobody would have considered that before however. Last game Jena only drew at improving Koln II. This may have been a warning that they can't allowed to relax. In first line, as with St Pauli a real tough side is guest today. It should become a dramatic promotion battle where some goals seem likely, but not real mature for betting on is the over, though both tend to. St. Pauli was weak last round and won closely 3-2 against Chemnitz. So they seem not in best shape for this one. So or so, Jena was favourite here for me, only 2 wins in last 7 games don't speak for Pauli in addition.

Osnabruck v Essen
Osnabruck is in the nowhere area of table, Essen at the top. But Essen can't be sure op promotion yet with 2 games more played. But they really should make it, they are the best and surely the most expensive RL Nord side. You probably know former Frankfurt and BL striker van Lent, who exploited immediately a mistake of Kiel last round, at the end Essen won 2-1. Osnabruck as well is one of the stronger leagues sides, and came back at Wattenscheid after laying behind 0-2 and 2-3 to achieve a 3-3. Before, Osnabruck had big problems against last Chemnitz. Essen should win this one, 2.62 has value.

Munster v Bremen II
Bremen II are on a relegation place, in touch of Munster 3 points above them. Munster have an improvement behind them and thus achieved to leave bottom. Here again they are slight favourites, their play has been more consistent than Bremen's. 2.12 for the home are worth a punt imo, though it's a relegation clash.

Chemnitz v Hamburg II
Finally another relagation fight in RL Nord and a small punt on the underdog Chemnitz for me. They are last with onlky 17 points. They are not totally lost yet with 3 games less, but hope can not be big. But Chemnitz performed well at St. Pauli at least and show improved. Now against one of the weaker sides as well, time has come for a next win finally.

RL Sud

Saturday 13:30

Here Bayern II should be without chance at Augsburg. Augsburg is actually promoted yet, Bayern II threatened and so I don't know if Augsburg have enough motivation. If they do, there should be nothing but a home win.

Similar situation at Darmstadt. K'lautern II is threatened, Darmstadt is the better side but the game has no big meaning for them. STill it should end with the home win.

[skin8]

Cheers McFly...good work !
still confused...seems all is possible this round over those leagues...maybe i'll skip my Lay or try to trust Munster not to lose.
Especially after an away win which should boost em up.

[McFly]

yeh Munster is a good pick I guess.

can't be sure about one this round, only few attracting opportunities.

Good luck with your choice!

The hosts have some importnant missings and just a average home record.The visitors overall form is better and they take most of their points away from home and should have a good chance for another three points.Away win then

Cheers for your nice write up!

1860 Munchen v Burghausen
Munich come from a 0-1 defeat from Aachen. At least in 2nd half they showed improved and could have scored. The game before they faced... Burghausen! It was the former postponed 1st game between them. Interessting is that Burghausen won it 1-0. The lions actaully were not much weaker, but their old problem to score appeared there once agian. Now thanks to these 2 gams, 1860 have only 3 points more than Saarbrucken and so are heavily threatened even of relegation. That would be a pure disaster, I don't think 1860 could survive this, with their expensive squad and in frist line the big expensive arena. 1860 already have more financial problems than it is okay. So once again it's a very important and decisive match. Burghausen, they were pretty poor at Offenbach and looked like without big interest. Indded nothing should happen to them with 7 points more than Saarbrucken. But there's much difference in favour of 1860 now. Munchen of course have the better players, with some positive indications concerning their form lately, they should easily win this. It is much more important for 1860, and in the meanwhile they got used to the pressure, though it was concerning promotion earlier... The bookies have to give moderate odds for 1860. Burghausen is good away, 1860 2 games without goal. Still I don't really doubt 1860 will win this. Tyce, Meyer and Costa cannot play for 1860, Wiesinger on gust side. But 1860 have the quality to compensate this. I expect a very aggresive, angry and dynamic 1860 and the win at all.

Furth v Unterhaching
This should be nothing but a home win as well. Furth is still in promotion race, they lost 2 in a row. The gap is 3 points. After the 2 defeats against Aue and Karlsruhe (no bad sides) there was of course much frustration in Furth, the curse to be never able to promote (it was tragical last years) appeared again. With some luck however, Fuerth still can make it with their strength. Recent home stat with 2 points in 4 games speak not for them, but I still believe they will win this. Furth are a new and young side who make their mistakes, but they also had lots of very strong games. Unterhaching with a defeat could slip down toward relegatin places. They are no bad side at all, but lost 3 in a row without scoring themselves. In last game they performed like their table standing had been - neutral with no real aim to attack. Now it's a little different, as it has begun to consider a possible relegation fight. Doubtful if Haching just can switch their play, besides Haching lost 9 of their 13 away games!
