Some teams are on the run in the German Bundesliga and there are a few interesting picks to bet on in the Round 29 scheduled from Friday, March 6th, until Monday, March 9th, 2018, so let’s see what should we look after and how to bet on those streaks. With just six rounds to go, a lot of teams are battling either for the European qualification or against the relegation, so excitements are guaranteed this weekend in the Bundesliga.
BUNDESLIGA HOT STREAKS
- Hannover 96 lost five games in a row
- Schalke 04 won six games in a row, the previous five with a clean sheet
- Hamburger SV is without a win for 15 games in a row
- VFL Wolfsburg is winless in eight straight games
- VfB Stuttgart is undefeated in eight consecutive games
- Eintracht Frankfurt won five home games in a row
HANNOVER 96 vs. SV WERDER BREMEN
3-Way: 1: Hannover +200; X: +245 Draw; 2: Werder Bremen +140 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread 0: Hannover +115; Werder Bremen -135
Total +2.5: Over -125; Under +105
While the hosts are in a five-game losing streak, the visitors are unbeaten in the previous five rounds of the German Bundesliga, recording four wins and one draw in the process.
Werder Bremen is in the 12th spot of the Bundesliga table at the moment with 36 points, ten points above the danger zone, and four points ahead of Hannover in the 13th spot, so the hosts are far more desperate to get a win here than the visiting team.
Despite a poor recent form, Hannover scored two goals in the previous round against RB Leipzig, so it sounds reasonable to bet on their victory against Werder Bremen.
MY PICK: Hannover AH 0 (+115)
HAMBURGER SV vs. SCHALKE 04
3-Way: 1: Hamburger SV +305; X: +235 Draw; 2: Schalke 04 +100 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread +0.5: Hamburger SV -110; Schalke 04 -100
Total +2: Over -130; Under +110
Hamburger SV is a member of the Bundesliga since its’ formation in 1963, but this year it looks like the Red Shorts will have to move to the second tier. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the Bundesliga table with seven points less than Mainz in the 16th spot that leads to the relegation playoff, so a positive result against the unbeatable Schalke is a must, while a victory sounds like a miracle, as the Red Shorts are winless for 15 games in a row.
On the other side, the Miners’ defense was excellent in the last few weeks, while their last five games had less than three goals in the total.
It is pretty tricky to bet against the streaks in a clash like this one, but you can go with Schalke at +100 to maintain their winning string, as they are a better team than the hosts at the moment, for sure. However, after five games in a row without conceding, Schalke’s defense could kneel on this one.
MY PICK: Over 2 Goals (-130)
SC FREIBURG vs. VFL WOLFSBURG
3-Way: 1: SC Freiburg +150; X: +215 Draw; 2: VFL Wolfsburg +210 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread 0: SC Freiburg -130; VFL Wolfsburg +115
Total +2: Over -120; Under +100
Wolfsburg is winless in eight straight Bundesliga games, while on the other side, Freiburg didn’t taste the win in the last five matches. Both these teams are fighting against the relegation, so this clash will be very important, particularly for the visitors who are in the 15th spot of the table with the same number of points as Mainz in the 16th spot, while Freiburg is in the 14th spot with four points more than the Wolves.
Hereof, this game is a quite tricky one to predict the final outcome, and maybe the best decision is to skip it.
MY PICK: Pass
DORTMUND vs. VfL STUTTGART
3-Way: 1: Dortmund -165; X: +310 Draw; 2: VfL Stuttgart +485 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -1: Dortmund +105; VfL Stuttgart -115
Total +3: Over +115; Under -135
Dortmund is playing pretty poorly in the last couple of weeks, in the previous round they were heavily beaten 6-0 by Bayern Munich, so their fans certainly expect some reaction against Stuttgart this Sunday, while the visitors are unbeaten in eight consecutive games which promises a great match at Signal Iduna Park.
The hosts are battling for the Champions League spot, and they need three points here. On the other side, the visitors are safe and sound in the eighth spot, but seven points away from the Europa League position, so they can play this game in a relaxed manner.
MY PICK: Dortmund AH -1 (+105)
ADDITIONAL PICK: Both Teams to Score YES (-130)
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT vs. HOFFENHEIM
3-Way: 1: Eintracht Frankfurt +155; X: +244 Draw; 2: Hoffenheim +175 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread 0: Eintracht Frankfurt -115; Hoffenheim +100
Total +2.5: Over -120; Under +100
The hosts are currently in the sixth spot of the Bundesliga table, one point behind the Champions League spot, and three points ahead of their next rival, so this is a big game for both Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim.
Eintracht Frankfurt won five games in a row on the home soil, but the visitors are undefeated in the previous five Bundesliga matches, so they look ready to break up the hosts’ streak.
MY PICK: Hoffenheim AH 0 (+100)
