Eintracht Braunschweig - Borussia Dortmund

Statistic:

- It is long time ago that both sides meet each other but Braunschweig has 17-3-4 at home.
- Dortmund could not win since 4 BL matches and they collected only 2 from 12 possible Points.
- Under Coach Klopp BvB conceded first time in 9 matches in a row a goal.
- The last clean sheet was at Round 9, when they won to Hannover 1-0.
- Braunschweig has the weakest offensive line with only 10 goals scored.
- After 18 Rounds has only Frankfurt (70/71) and Tasmania Berlin (65/66) worser numbers.
- Dortmund lost already so often as in the whole last season (2).
- Braunschweig collected more Points as BvB in recent 4 matches.
- Dortmund won the last three against Braunschweig.

Braunschweig must replace the following players: Perthel, Caligiuri, Vrancic, Korte, Kruppke and Oehrl.

Dortmund had a lot of problems in the past too and this time they can not count on Kuba, Subotic and Gündogan.

Braunschweig has to go Round for Round but they should try to start getting points otherwise they can plan for the 2.Bundesliga again. The numbers tell the truth and no one in Germany has hope that Braunschweig has a chance to get out of the red zone. Of course the fans and supporters from Eintracht are the only one which believes in them. But sorry, this is to far away and maybe a level to high for them at the moment. Sure, they had some days to surprise but the Rounds are less and all the other teams are getting points as well.

It is not the time from Borussia Dortmund at the moment, they were much better some month ago. Now they miss almost all they have shown in this good time. Above all their fast play is gone and also the pressing style with they had great success. Also they had a lot of unlucky situations and problems with injured players who were all important for them. The lose from Götze was to beginning of the season not seen so much but in the past it looks like that they must search for the right puzzle.

Normally this should be a clear thing for Dortmund, but with this form I think it is not worth a shot anyway.

VfB Stuttgart - Bayern München



Statistic:

- Bayern won all their last 9 matches against Stuttgart and scored incredible 30 goals.
- The last win from Stuttgart against Bayern is long time ago, March 2010 2-1 in Munich.
- In the last 5 BL games conceded Stuttgart always twice and more.
- Bayern is the best away team every in BL and the run continues.
- They are unbeaten away from home in 27 of their matches now (23-4-0). New BL-Record !!!
- Bayern Munich scored in all their recent 27 matches at least one goal.
- If Bayern score today, it is again a new BL-Record for them. Once again :)
- It looks like that almost all positive records are in hand of Bayern Munich now.

Stuttgart with not much problems with injured players, only Didavi and Rojas are out while Bayern Munich miss Badstuber, Schweinsteiger, Martine, van Buyten, Ribery and Robben (doubtful after some problems with foot).

The next defeat is ahead and it looks like that Schneider has to work harder with his team otherwise they are fully involved in relegation trouble and it is not obvious that they can handle this anyway. More and more the team look not as good as they should be. With a lot of mistakes and some problems in their play as well they are far away from a good BL team. The table position says all. A lot of hopes were there above all in the new players like Abdelloue and Rausch but they are far away from their best level. Also other players are not in best shape and the downtrend continues.

On the other side with have the team who is to beat at the moment in BL. They are far away that they lose any of this encounter and they so cool and superior that no one is able at the moment. Their squad is excellent and if some of the big guys are not available they have a lot of good and experienced players in back who can play then. The only thing what did not work so well is their scoring machine. Ok, they score but without a striker upfront and to much passing around the box it is hard to score. Ball possession is one thing but scoring is the better way to win matches and win it easy. They should try to get more efficient and they can beat a lot of entertainment too. Of course, Guardiola is the man and he wants the perfect play, always but he should train more to shot on target. In close matches it can help a lot too if they are up already 2,3-0 and they never will get in danger.

Week Performance 20.01.2014 - 26.01.2014

This Update is brought to you by www.clubgowi.com It is one of the most popular and successful Service on the Internet. His daily newsletter is legendary and should not be missed. But convince yourselves and may even give him a try !!!


Week 4 !!!

I wanted to dedicate my Picks / Tips in an extra post. I update it always if I add something, it is only for a better view. All Picks can be seen under Betting History, Plan Picks or Tip of the Day additional. Of course, all Picks are verified !!!


Tip of the Day:

26.01.2014  20:45  ITA Serie A  AC Florenz - FC Genua OVER 2,5 @ 1,88 3-3

Hamburger SV - FC Schalke 04

Statistic:

- From the last 5 matches against Schalke won HSV only one (1-1-3).
- The win was 2012 in November 3-1 at home.
- In recent 4 BL matches were a lot of entertainment between both sides with a lot of goals.
- Schalke lost only one of their last 7 BL matches (4-2-1).
- And on the road they are 3-3-1 in their last 7 matches.
- The Hamburger SV is very weak this season, they collected only 4 from possible 21 points in the past.
- Additional home weakness is well known and they got only 3 from 12 possible points recently.
- But Hamburg is unbeaten in all their last 6 starts on sunday (3-3-0).
- And also Schalke is unbeaten in all their last 9 !!! starts on sunday (5-4-0).

Hamburg has a lot to replace today as with keeper Adler, Beister, Arslan, Djourou injured and Rincon suspended are a lot of players who are normally in the starting lineup.

On the other side the situation is getting better but they miss a lot too. Not available for Schalke is Höger, Aogo, Jones, Kirchhoff, Draxler, Clemens and Höwedes.

According to the results form yesterday HSV stands under huge pressure as all teams behind them won their matches and it is getting more at the bottom of the table. Therefore Hamburg needs every point to stay away from relegation battle but they had the luck on their side last year and maybe this time it can be that the only team who never was relegated in BL so far, is the team now. I can not see that they have learnt something from last season and they talk about EL and so on but the table speaks a different language.

Much different for Schalke, as all their rivals lost points yesterday and they can close the gap top the top 4 almost. This is a huge advantage now but they must use this. The situation is not good as most of the players are injured, of course some returned like important striker Huntelaar but he should be on bench first and give his comeback later in the game. Schalke is to much Farfan, if this guy has a weak day it is almost gone with Schalke to get anything. If you watched the matches from Schalke you would say the same.

Werder Bremen - Eintracht Braunschweig

Statistic:

- Braunschweig lost all their last 6 against Bremen by 2-19 goals.
- This happen against no other team so far.
- In Bremen they are winless since 7 matches.
- With only 31 Points from 34 matches were Bremen the weakest team 2013 !!!
- This was not even an average from 1,00 Points from each match.
- Of course Braunschweigs BL history is very old but this time they played the weakest one.
- Bremen won only one of their last 6 BL matches (1-1-4).
- But it was on the last Round 2013 where they could beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home.

Bremen without any worries, only Fritz is injured out here. Braunschweig has there much more problems with Perthel, Korte, Oehrl, Kruppke, Caligiuri and Vrancic are all out injured and unavailable for Coach Lieberknecht.

Bremen played very bad 2013 and it looks like that not much change 2014. I am not a fan from this team as they do very hard. With this squad it can be that they get a lot of problems during the second half of the season. Maybe they get more and more involved in relegation trouble. For this reason they should look forward and try to win this match what should be very important for them otherwise Braunschweig comes closer to them and the gap to the placed behind is not big.

It was clear that newcomer Braunschweig getting a lot of problems in this league. It looks like that it is the same as Greuther Fürth one season earlier. This teams have less potential for Bundesliga and they are maybe a good team in second league but also only if luck is on their side and all goes their way. Otherwise it is very hard according to their potential in playing good passing style and so on they are far away. It is only big fighting for every point. Of course Coach Lieberknecht gave an interview and said that they are no back and they have the same good team spirit as last season. This must be shown in Bremen today

Eintracht Frankfurt - Hertha BSC Berlin

Statistic:

- Against no other BL-team celebrated Hertha BSC so much wins as against Frankfurt (25).
- The first match ended 6-1 for Hertha, never started a new promoted team with a higher win.
- With only 4 Points from 8 home matches was Frankfurt the weakest team on home ground.
- Eintracht Frankfurt is waiting since 9 BL home matches for a win.
- This is negative record for them and this is the longest streak from all BL teams at the moment.
- All recent 3 matches on the road won Hertha BSC, and this was long time ago that this happen 2007.
- Hertha's biggest win on the road in Bundesliga was 5-0 and this was exactly in Frankfurt.
- Armin Veh has good records but only against Hertha BSC he got no win in 11 attempts (0-3-8) so far.

The situation is getting a bit better in Frankfurt with injured players but nevertheless they have some out with Flum suspended, Celozzi and Oczipka injured.

On the other side Luhukay has to replace some important guys like Cigerci, Ben Hatira, Brooks and Baumjohann.

A lot of Problems in Frankfurt above all with the three competitions they had not the power for Bundesliga. In Cup and Euro League they did very well and lost their strength and power for the league, but now the batteries should be reloaded and the injured players are almost all back. Above all important Aigner and Meier who should be some good weapons for Coach Veh today.

Newcomer Hertha has the same success as last year Frankfurt. Maybe both were a bit underrated from some opponents and they could use this more and more. Therefore Hertha stands on a good upper place and they are far away from relegation trouble. This means that they can play relaxed and easy and look what they are able to get. But it is not as easy as they want because some important players are out today. Some changes in team must be made by Luhukay and also maybe some position rotation.

The stats speaks clearly against Frankfurt today, but it is not impossible that they get the first home win today and also the first win from Coach Veh against Hertha too. The stats must be broken now. According to table situation is getting more and more dangerous for Frankfurt !!!


Borussia Dortmund - FC Augsburg

Statistic:

- After 14 years BvB lost 3 home matches in a row before the winter break.
- Between March and April 2000 they lost 4 times in a row under Coach Kraus.
- Augsburg is unbeaten since 5 matches (3-2-0).
- Against Augsburg is Dortmund unbeaten in BL so far (4-1-0  15-3 goals).
- Augsburg got their biggest loses against Dortmund in BL, both with 0-4.
- Dortmund won all recent 4 openers to the second half of the season.
- They are unbeaten since 10 years after losing to Schalke 0-1 in Season 2003/04

Dortmund has some problems as with Gündogan, Hummels and Subotic miss some players here. On the other side Augsburg has also some missing with Moravek, Ji, Holzhauser, Mölders and Amsif.

Dortmund was not on the best level at the end of 2013 but they want to get back on track and I am sure that they lose not 4 in a row at home. Although some of the players returned after the break now they have still some important players not available. Nevertheless Coach Klopp has to build up a good and strong starting lineup and start to reduce the gap to second placed Leverkusen.

Surprise team of 2013 is clear FC Augsburg they were almost relegated to winter break but their comeback was amazing and also the first half of the season 2013/14 was great. Coach Weinzierl and Sport Manger Reuter made a great job together and formed a good and well playing team. They invest all what they have available and all in the club know that they can only compete with the teams in BL if all are ahead of their level. They were very hard to beat and the defensive worked excellent and sometimes the offensive was able to score one or two goals to get the points on their side.

Overall this should be a clear one for Dortmund, but some doubt after the last performances from both teams. Many said that Augsburg is very hard to play and this is true but I can not see Dortmund losing 4 in a row at home and after Gladbach losing yesterday it is a big chance for Dortmund now. I am sure that Klopp find the right words and tactic here to overcome this side from Augsburg. If the first goal comes early it is much easier for them. The HC comes out high with line -1,5 but if you brave enough you can take this in my eyes. Also a good choice can be to wait for some minutes and get a good position with the HC -1.

VfL Wolfsburg - Hannover 96

Statistic:

- Hannover won all 4 matches in the past against Wolfsburg.
- With the next win it would be a new record for them, as they managed never 5 wins in a row !!!
- Wolfsburg is unbeaten since 9 BL matches (6-3-0).
- This is the best streak beside Bayern Munich at the moment in BL.
- Wolfsburg is the best team in the league with winning 54,1% of their duels on pitch.
- Hannover 96 has a new coach with Tayfun Korkut. He is an unknown one but was Co in Turkey.
- Additional a very hard Programm for 96 as 3 of their 4 matches take place away from home.
- They are still without a Point on the road (0-0-9).
- VfL Wolfsburg played the best first half of the season so far. With collecting 30 Points.
- Of course they had the same numbers 2004/05 but the goal difference was much weaker.

Missing: Ochs suspended, Vierinha injured and Polak too. On the other side H96 with Ya Konan, Felipe, Pander and Sobiech much more and important players too.

The sign from Wolfsburg was clear at winter break above all after sining new player De Bryne from Chelsea for 22 Mio. They want to reach the Champions league spot and for this they invested again. Now the team is much stronger and the duels for a place in starting lineup begins. Maybe Coach Hecking must change a bit as with Träsch has one player the flue and is not ready yet. But this should not be a big problem if we take a look at such a good and on a high level squad which Wolfsburg has at the moment.

On the other side Hannover suffered a lot above all on the road and this costs Slomka his job. He never was near a Point on the road as they made to many mistakes and played not such a good style as they did at home to beginning of the season. This should change now as with Korkut a new and fresh man is on the sideline and all hopes are no him now. It is not out 100% which team he wants to field as I think he has some in mind and change some too.

1.FC Nürnberg - 1899 Hoffenheim

Statistic:

- First match between these two teams was 2009/10 in Cup where Hoffenheim won 1-0.
- In recent 4 BL-games between these sides were overall 18 goals, this is an average from 4,5
- In these 4 matches scored Nürnberg 10 goals and Hoffenheim 8.
- But in the first 5 matches against Hoffenheim, Nürnberg could only score twice.
- Nürnberg is the first team without a win after 17 matches and therefore first half of the season.
- FCN is the team form all top leagues in Europe without a win (Negative record).
- But a lot of hope for Nürnberg, because in the past years the team on place 17 never get relegated.
- Hoffenheim did not win to beginning of the the second half of the season (4 times - 0-2-2).
- But Nürnberg won only one of the last 5 opening matches to second half of the season (1-1-3).

Home side miss for this encounter some important players which got injured in some friendly matches like defender Pogatetz and Hasebe. Both should have been in starting lineup and therefore Coach Verbeek has to chance now. With young Stark is the next option in midfield out. Not a good sign overall, but they signed with Petrak a good young and talented player who should help them anyway.

1899 Coach Gisdol has not so much worries and he can choose form almost all.

I think that not many changes happen on Nürnberg's side only the two players must be repalced and this can be that Pinola plays again in central back what he did already against Schalke very well and in midfield is Feulner / Balitsch or Petrak an option for Hasebe. All the others are the same as at least. Nevertheless they should start winning now to get a bit out of the trouble and maybe bring some self confidence back on their side. Despite all bad things Coach Verbeek is very pleased about the trainings camp and work there and he is very happy with all. They had a few friendlies, won all but it is a good sign? In summer they won also almost all and in League they were not able. Maybe the luck has changed now and they are in a better position as last year where they hit bar and post so often. All hope that this shots are all goals now.

1899 Hoffenheim is not out of trouble and they need every point too. But I think the squad for this are there although most of them are very young but they need this experience to get better and better. A lot of duels for the open positions in Hoffenheim and Gisdol can choose from almost all. This brings him in a very good position as well but he must hope that he does the right decisions. Open is if Volland and Elyounoussi are able to be at 100% after their light injuries.

Bor. M'Gladbach - Bayern München

Statistic:

- Gladbach are unbeaten in their last 8 BL matches.
- In this period they collected 20 from 24 possible Points.
- Their last defeat was in the middle of October 0-1 to Hertha on the road.
- Bayern won only 3 of their last 23 BL-matches in Gladbach (3-13-7).
- Last season at Round 34 they won there 4-3 and it was big entertainment from both.
- Gladbach is unbeaten at home this season so far. They got 25 from possible 27 Points.
- Only in their last home match 2013 they drew to Wolfsburg 2-2, all the others were won.
- Overall they are unbeaten since last Bayern Munich visit as mentioned above.
- Bayern Munich celebrated the best year ever from a BL team 2013.
- They won 5 from 6 possible title, only the Supercup in summer was lost to Dortmund 2-4.
- Bayern lost not one of the last 26 BL away matches (22-4-0).
- With this successful year they beat several records in history of BL and they want walk on.
- Bayern Munich is unbeaten since 41 BL-matches now.
- Both teams have the highest rate of ball possession with Gladbach 56% and Bayern 66%.
- Also both keepers are on a high level, Neuer conceding only every 105 minutes and Ter Stegen 88.
- With a win Borussia M'Gladbach can be the team who beat them after such a long run.
- They can overcome them in home table with a win too.
- Bayern Munich have the chance to defend all 5 titles in 2014. They are in all competitions alive.

Coach Favre must replace defender Jantschke after his injury in trainings camp but with Dominguez is a long term injured player back an he can play immediately and return on his position in central back. With Brouwers is an additional defender out but not important at the moment at all.

Bayern Munich has a very big squad and should handle the problems very well but they miss here at least with Schweinsteiger, van Buyten and Martinez some important guys. Also Lahm has a slight knee injury under the week and trained not much, if he must pass maybe Thiago plays central in midfield. Also Ribery is a doubt as I read today.

Big match to beginning of the second half of the season and this is also a big match between former rivals. Gladbach at home very strong and hard to beat, they work very well as team and they are very hard to beat, Coach Favre did a great job and found the right things and players to strengthen his team to last season. All his offensive weapons are available here, only the defensive was the part to change.

Bayern was the team from 2013 and they want to be the team from 2014 as well, they overcome all opponents in the past and they showed a huge dominance in almost all matches. But Coach Guardiola should be not very pleased with the new injured players and also with the weak performance in friendly match last saturday where they lost easy 0-3 in Salzburg against Red Bull. This result should may have been higher as well as Salzburg missed some good opportunities too. Maybe it was the right time for this defeat to bring all a bit more back and they know now that they must be more focused and play on a higher level to beat opponents or maybe continue the run they had lately. The problems are already mentioned above and it will be very interesting what starting lineup will Guardiola bring on the pitch.
