Best Bets:

Braunschweig to beat Kaiserslautern @ 13/10

Despite letting us down last week, we're taking a chance with the early pace-setters. Admittedly recent form hasn't been good, but arguably their opponents, Kaiserslautern are in just as poor form, having only drawn against Bochum and Duisburg and losing in a one-sided affair to Hertha. 13/10 is good value for the home team who have the strongest record on their own soil with 9 wins from the 12 games played at the Eintracht-Stadion.

Hertha (-1) to beat Duisburg @ 11/10

It's not often I'll put up my own team as a 'Best Bet', so maybe a little heart is being used here as well as my head! After putting in a disappointing effort against Dresden last week, the current league leaders will be desperate to forget last Saturday and show the Berlin public what they can really do. Odds of 4/11 for the outright 90 minute win are extremely prohibitive at the Olympic Stadium, so we'll be hoping for at least two goals with no reply and a convincing win to get back on track with a selection on the handicap market.

Dresden (DNB) to beat Aue @ 11/8

Having watched Dresden last week, there seems a renewed fighting spirit which has seen them gain 2 wins, 2 draws and a solitary loss in their last 5 games. If they can put in anything similar to the performance which toppled Hertha last week, then the 11/8 with the 'Draw No Bet' security blanket could be terrific value against an Aue side which appear to be spiralling into trouble after losing 4 of their last 5 games. This is the big relegation clash of the weekend with both teams locked on 24 points each.

Following a profitable last Match-Day with 5/9 results correctly predicted, again we'll be looking for a selection in every game, specifically looking at a variety of markets in order to offer a bet which is 'Evens or Above'

 

St.Pauli/Regensburg: 2nd half to have most goals	11/10
Frankfurt to beat Aalen	7/5
1860 Munchen to beat Sandhausen	13/10
Cottbus/Union: Both teams to score in the 2nd half	5/2
Paderborn (DNB) to beat FC Koln	19/5
Ingolstadt v Bochum: Draw at HT	23/20
Dresden (DNB) to beat Aue	11/8
Hertha (-1) to beat Duisburg	11/10
Braunschweig to beat Kaiserslautern	13/10

 

Some bigger prices selected this week, particularly the near 4/1 for a Paderborn away victory in Koln with 'no bet' should the game be a draw.
