finchen 2.Bundesliga 1.Fc Köln - Offenbacher K. 1 Interwetten 2.1
EH -1 Bet365 4.2


My reason to play this game:
Of course Offenbach wants to advoid relegation,but they are really to bad for 2.Bl
only 4 points out of the last 6 games.
Köln so far was not much better ,but their victory in Duisburg has shown the quality
of the team.And now in their last homegame(allready 39.000 tickets sold)they will
show their fans a very attacking game.
Goalkeeper Wessels is out of the game,but i think there is much to defend for Köln.
If you are interested in this pick,hurry up #go allready down.

Goog luck,finchen.

[finchen]

finchen Correction: I think there is not much to defend for Köln.

once again
good luck,finchen

just a few thoughts aboute the German Bundesliga match Dortmund v Schalke. I'm on the 1X and Under. Big rivals and Dortmund won't want them celebrating the League title in their stadium.

[bosman]

Agree with Diomed here, I also can't see Schalke celebrating tomorrow,not in Dortmund stadium, it would be the worst scenario for Dortmund fans I suppose. The end of the season seems to be very interesting this time. Bayern Munchen out of the game, this fuckers costed me some money this season, so I don't cry because of it. The richest don't have to be the first, and I like it. I don't see Schalke winning at Dortmund, Stuttgart could also have problems at Bochum, so Bremen still have a chance to be a German champion this year. I saw them live last week in Berlin (by the way Berlin is a really great place to watch football, super atmosphere at Olympiastadion, over 74 000 people, it was really impressive). Bremen defence was a joke, but their attacking power, and nice to watch attacking style of play was very nice. Even without Almeida, Hundt, Borowski, Naldo, Mertesacker,they were able to trash Hertha 1:4. I know, fast goal, and fast red card for the hosts changed the game, but anyway...
Some previews and bets to follow (but not today).

looks like a tricky round is ahead of us guys, good luck to you all, I'll stay away.

some of my thoughts

Bochum - Stuttgart
Gekas the greek bomber lead in the striker list and is very hot at the moment. He striked 20 times - the half of all Bochum goals he shoot this season!
Hilbert on Stuttgart side shoot the last 4 of 5 Stuttgart goals and start in the midfield again.
See an over here!

- over 2.5 goals

Bremen - Frankfurt
No question the chance that Frankfurt win is not more than less. Bremen extend the contracts with Frings and Naldo and Klose gave his word to play for Bremen since summer 2008. Lots of important news for the whole team. Frankfurt won only 3 away jobs this season - bremen is the best Team in the Last 10 rounds.

- over 2.5 goals
- Bremen to win

Berlin - Leverkusen
Berlin finished 6 of 10 times in over in the L10 and L´kusen 7 of 10 in the L10. Leverkusen get twice as much points as Berlin get (16 Leverkusen, 8 Berlin). They won all of the last 3 meetings versus Berlin and have also a positive balance at the Olympia Stadium (4-5-3 by Leverkusen).

- Leverkusen or X
- over 2.5 goals

Good luck

Cottbus - Bayern Munich
And I give you all the message --> keep the fingers off from Munich <--

Munich have closed this season. They can´t win anything. Cottbus is a solid team at home and Bayern Munich miss a lot players. They´re looking forward to the new season.
Cottbus are good in counter attacks and their defense at home is great...

-- no bet for me

[rene]

Mainz - Gladbach

worse versus worst here. Mainz miss a lot of players and Gladbach is relegated. They banned the defender David Degen in the middle of this week out of the squad for the weekend and out of the squad for the rest of the season. He had a confliction with Coach Luhukay. Luhukay will start with the oung talents Levels,Polanski,Marin,Fleßers and Lamidi in the starter team and sidelined the oldies. First leg finished 1-1 and the last seasons result at Mainz is 3-0.
Mainz with more power and they can rescue themself with two victories...
Not at least they have the couple Andreasen/Zidan from Bremen and these both players could be the different here...

- Mainz to win

short view.
My only fancies are
BAyern in Cottbus and Schalke in Dortmund

For both games odds are not great, but still playable.
Bayern is missing whole list of players ( Lucio, Hargreaves, Salihamidzic, Podolski, Schweinsteiger) , but still are able to line solid line, much better then Cottbus will ever have. Still class difference for me.
Second reason is that what make difference beatween BAyern and the rest of teh liga, is that the yar ealway motivated even in unimportant games. I go on straight away win, but got feeling that BAyern will be romp about Cottbus.

Schalke proved through all season as most constant team. Class better as Dortmund this year, doesnt matter who is coaching whom here. The press writte all teh time noncence about this game, and I see folks around me ( mostly crazy Stuttgart fans ) believing Schalke will slip in Dortmund.
My view is clear class difference and everithing I need for a bet is there.
Overestimated host by press and motivation, form, desire, quality on Schalkes side.

Very interesting round today, still 3 teams with a chance to be a champion.

Nurnberg v Hamburg - any idea, a difficult one to predict, HSV already safe, it's better to skip this one I think.

Aachen v Wolfsburg - relegation battle, I'm not sure about a winner here, both teams with terrible form lately. Over could be the best option here.

Bielefeld v Hannover - two in form teams, doesn't matter who will win, this is the best over bet in Bundesliga today.

Dortmund v Schalke - Johnny,not only crazy Stuttgart fans believe, that Schalke don't grab three points today. Form and quality are of course on away side, I agree. Statistic speaks also for Schalke, Dortmund has terrible record against them at home 0-3-4. But still I see them taking something from this one. Schalke as champion is the worst scenario for Dortmund fans and players, so motivation is huge. It will be nervous game, and the hosts are not without a chance here.

Cottbus v Bayern - Bayern should win, but they are on my black list till the end of the season, so no bet.

Mainz v MGladbach - visitors already relegated, hosts have to win today,and should be able to do it. They have some missings, but Burussia without motivation, and with terrible away form (last away goal 03.02.2007), so home win is the most probable result here.

Hertha v Bayer - another difficult game, Bayer is better, but it's hard to imagine Berlin team losing second home game in row. The best bet is over here.

Bochum v Stuttgart - very important game for Stuttgart, but it won't be easy. I'm not so sure about away win, but it will be another game with many goals I think. Over for me.

Bremen v Frankfurt - no need to write much about this one, easy home win.


So,my bets are:

Bielefeld/Hannover - over 2.5 3 pts
Dortmund (dnb) 2 pts
Mainz 2 pts
Hertha/Bayer - over 2.5 3 pts
Bochum v Stuttgart- over 2.5 2 pts
Bremen (-1) - 5 pts

Cheers Bosman,

regarding Dortmund-Schalke. I see your concerns and agree partly with you. That what you said is true, but I think this affect only Dortmund fans. Dortmund players have bad identification with the club this year and I believe fans will be very sad, but players will get easier over a loss today.
