German Football 13th-16th October

I have one more in the regio south today.
Pirmasens-Stuttgart Kickers

Pirmasens are promoted team from last year and they are finding realy hard in this liga. They have lost last 4 at home and for this game they have their attackers back, but almoust whole defensive line is missing. 3 from last 4 players.

Kickers have super start, winning games easily against mediocore sides. Playing extremly well away from home. They have also beat Hamburg in german cup after 120 min. And this was to much for Kickers. They are very well organised club, working and producing many young talented players. Because they have realy poor bench, they were not able to cope with english weeks, playing Saturday and Wednesday. Few tired legs and few missings are why they have few bad results lately. For this game they had 2 weeks to recharge their batteries, and have almost full squad availible. Hoffenheim and Wehen are pressing for promotion and they are aware how important is to win this game. BTW this is 100s game of their coach Robin Dut and he expect a small gift from his team.
I am on Kickers at 1,85 for 7 Points

Two more for tomorrow as tonight I will get visit from my old friend and he stay few days at my place.

First Nuernberg against Bielefeld

Nuernberg surprise team from end of the last season and from beginning of these. THey are realy playing some nice football, and have even deserved to be first on the table at this point. Off corse they cant challange for the tittle , but for uefa spot for sure. After ( I think ) 4 games without win, they are facing right oponent to come back to the winning ways.

Bielefeld is havng few missings and is still in my eyes one of the worst teams this year in germany. Their points they have made home and away they were never specificly dengerous.

This game will be Nurnberg all over Bielefeld, and Bfeld only trying to make something out of conter attacks.

I am On Nurnberg to take the first place on the table again after this weekend at 1,75 for 6 points

Second Cottbus- Dortmund
Cottbus is defensive oriented team, and against better rated teams even at home they are playing defesively on counterattacks. For this game both sides have no magnificant missings , only long terms at Dortmund with Metzelder and Kehl.

I still believe in Dortmund that they are able to turn the corner and start winning and climb up the table. I was wondering at the beginning of the season why is Marvijk not using Ricken and Smolarek in first line up, and for this game after big suporters efforts he is going to line them. I rate Ricken a lot and for the attack play he can make a difference. Smolarek is on fire in Dortmund and deserve his minutes. Still they have Frei on the bench and he can be used as realy strong joker if things are not going their way.
Dortmund for me at 2,45 for 7 points

Johnny what you mean about hannover vs eintracht ... i'm thinking about home win

[johnnybgood]

Chers Undertaker,

There are no important missings on both sides, and Hannover need win badly and they are solid team. Their new coach who came surprisingly from Aachen in the midle of the season will imo do the job. But frankfurt is side that work well and harmonised and on their day they can beat better sides than Hannover.

I wouldnt bet on this game, but if I would it would be HAnnover. So if you have that feeling, it is for sure worth a try.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Pirmasens - Stutt. Kickers h/t 1-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trick game ??????????? a bad smell so far i hope will change

[kompressaur]

bah this is torture with the forum so slow. sorry about this folks. before you post if you can be bothered when its like this copy your post first incase it times out on you

i was looking at there being a bit of value on Bielefeld today. unbeaten in their last 4 v Nurnberg and won on their last 2 visits there. Have things changed much?

thanks

[kompressaur]

Dortmund must be worth a look too are they not?

[E_S]

Think its time for a Nurnberg win. I will try some on -0.75 AH. Nurnberg will miss Mnari with suspension. Bielefelds goalkeeper Hain is doubtful. Nurnberg is normally very strong at home, 1-2-0 this year, and ended last season with 7 straight homewins. Bielefeld is like night and day home and away. Won only 2 times away last year, 1 of them against Nurnberg....
