German Football Betting Tips
Todays match comes from the German 2nd division and the clash between
Borussia Moenchengladbach and Cologne.
Not long ago both sides were forces in the top flight but for various
reasons have found themselves hitting hard times.
This is a derby match so passions should be even higher then usual as both
sides strive for a return to the top flight.
BMG are currently top of the second division on goal difference from
Freiburg and have only lost once in the league so far and that was a 4-1
defeat to 3rd placed Mainz back in August. However on the last 6 games
home and away they have won them all scoring 19 and conceding 6.
Cologne on the other hand are 9th in the league 6 points behind their
rivals today. On the road they have won 2 drawn 1 and lost 1 scoring 8 and
conceding 6 so they will be a tough nut to crack but given BMG`s current
run of form and the fact that Cologne over the last 6 matches has shown
patchy form makes me go for the home side tonight.
Head to head definitely favours the home side tonight and indeed BMG have
won the last 7 meetings on their own ground:
Feb 18, 06 1. Bundesliga Borussia Mönch... 2 - 0 FC Köln
Sep 17, 05 1. Bundesliga FC Köln 2 - 1 Borussia Mönch...
Jan 31, 04 1. Bundesliga FC Köln 1 - 0 Borussia Mönch...
Aug 3, 03 1. Bundesliga Borussia Mönch... 1 - 0 FC Köln
Feb 5, 02 1. Bundesliga Borussia Mönch... 4 - 0 FC Köln
Aug 19, 01 1. Bundesliga FC Köln 0 - 2 Borussia Mönch...
Mar 20, 00 2. Bundesliga FC Köln 1 - 1 Borussia Mönch...
Sep 27, 99 2. Bundesliga Borussia Mönch... 3 - 1 FC Köln
Jan 31, 98 1. Bundesliga FC Köln 3 - 2 Borussia Mönch...
Aug 23, 97 1. Bundesliga Borussia Mönch... 4 - 1 FC Köln
Paddy Power and Stan James are offering 11/10 the home win and given
Borussia`s recent form I feel there is value to be had tonight.
I will be also going for a more speculative bet of over 2.5 goals as BMG
have hit 8 in 3 games at home recently and Cologne have 6 in 3 on their
travels so and at ¾ with Bet365 it is a saver option.
So BMG to win at best price 11/10 and over 2.5 goals at 3 / 4 hopefully
will see me start the week in the right way.
As always good luck,
Silverfox.
