Bundesliga 17th matchday betting tips & odds preview
Bundesliga 17th matchday betting tips: The tatters are flying in the basement
Will Bayern continue to expand the lead?
Before the 16th matchday, many experts asked themselves which of the German top teams could possibly exploit the current weak phase of FC Bayern. Three days later the answer is clear: none! While Leverkusen lost at Union Berlin on Friday evening, it was enough for Dortmund at home against Mainz and for RB Leipzig in Wolfsburg only one point. Bayern, on the other hand, expanded their top position in the Bundesliga table thanks to a 2-1 win over Freiburg.
During the week, the next regular game day will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Once again, the reigning triple winner could emerge as a big winner. The record champions, who were sensationally eliminated in the DFB Cup about a week ago, have a supposedly easy task with FC Augsburg. Dortmund and Leverkusen take the points away from themselves and the Red Bulls from Saxony are facing an enormous challenge against Union Berlin.
The picture in the table basement is hardly less interesting at the moment. Schalke, in particular, has a trend-setting match in front of their chest. After the first success of the season ten days ago against Hoffenheim in Frankfurt could not be confirmed, a home three against the also ailing Cologne team is almost mandatory. Mainz is also doomed to win against Wolfsburg.
Meanwhile, the situation in Freiburg and Frankfurt is much more relaxed. Both teams, which have consistently played well up to now, are in the upper half of the table and are now facing each other in a direct duel. The atmosphere is similarly positive for the two promoted teams from Bielefeld and Stuttgart, who among other things will finish the 17th matchday on Wednesday evening. The signs between Hertha and Hoffenheim are completely different.
Both coaches are heavily criticized.
We try to explain all these and many other exciting topics below and provide you with detailed tip recommendations for the Bundesliga in the form of crisp short analyzes.
Extensive preview articles of all nine matches including information about possible injuries and suspensions in the Bundesliga, possible lineups and the resulting betting recommendations will be available in the Bundesliga betting tips section for the 17th matchday.
Gladbach vs Werder Bremen Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 19
For many football romantics, the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) remains a red rag. The number of critics is likely to have increased again since Saturday evening at the latest. What happened in Stuttgart will have angered the fans of Borussia from Mönchengladbach in particular. Although there was obviously no clear wrong decision, the “Kölner Keller” stepped in in the last action of the game, decided on penalties and thus helped VfB to get the last-minute point against the foals.
Instead of jumping to sixth place and celebrating the third victory in a row, the Rose team had to accept a setback in the fight for a place in the Champions League. On Tuesday, however, there is already a chance to make amends. Werder Bremen will then be a guest at Borussia Park.
The Kohfeldt eleven landed a 2-0 win at home against FC Augsburg on Saturday, but it was very happy and not very glamorous. In general, the Hanseatics have had bigger problems in the recent past, regularly becoming dangerous offensively. In return, the defense of the green-whites presented itself quite stable over long stretches of the season so far. Keeper Pavlenka has kept his box clean in three of the last four first halves.
Also on Tuesday evening. it can again be assumed that Bremen will choose a very deep basic order and would be satisfied with a draw. A 0-0 break does not seem unrealistic. A goalless first half in a duel between two long-time first division teams is one of the betting tips with the highest odds in the Bundesliga on matchday 17.
Betting Tips: 0: 0 (1.HT)
Odds: 3.55
Leverkusen vs Dortmund Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 19
The best-known top game of the 17th matchday will undoubtedly take place on Tuesday evening in the BayArena. The third receives the fourth. Leverkusen is fighting against the negative trend. The Werkself only recorded one point from the last four games and suffered their third defeat in this period on Friday evening at Union Berlin.
Because the team of coach Peter Bosz can no longer get the performances from the past calendar year 2020 in terms of performance, BVB can definitely calculate chances in the duel with the ex-coach. But it is also a fact that the black and yellow must put on a better performance in every respect than the last time in the almost embarrassing 1: 1 at home against bottom Mainz.
Fifth winless game in a row for the Werkself?
Borussia could well play into the cards that an opponent is waiting who also has his strengths on the offensive and will not just put himself in behind. How patiently and of high quality the Terzic team can dismantle a similarly dispositioned opponent, the Westphalia underlined ten days ago at 3: 1 in Leipzig. In the eighth attempt this season it was already the fifth away win for BVB.
In connection with the fact that the Rhinelander have only won three of their seven home games so far and scored more points abroad, we agree with the opinion of the best bookmakers and see a higher probability of victory for the Dortmunders. If you want to minimize the risk, you can alternatively allude to the odds on the relatively probable “Both Teams to Score” in the Bundesliga on matchday 17.
Betting Tips: Victory Dortmund
Odds: 2.15
Hertha vs Hoffenheim Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 19
In the Berlin Olympic Stadium, there will be a crisis summit on Tuesday evening for two teams who had claims to the European Cup before the start of the season but are now trapped in the lower midfield after a disappointing course of this season. Worse still: Both Hertha and TSG Hoffenheim actually only benefit from the even weaker yields from four other clubs. Otherwise relegation battle would be the order of the day.
Bruno Labbadia and Sebastian Hoeneß are therefore under heavy attack. In particular, the nephew of Bayern maker Uli will have to fight for his job again on Tuesday evening. If TSG also loses in the capital, there is a risk of dismissal.
However, there is hope for a quick recovery of the patient TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The Kraichgauer won only one of their last six Bundesliga games and had to be satisfied with one point and one goal on the past three match days. The harmlessness of the Europa League sixteenth-finalist’s offensive is currently hard to beat.
Will both teams stay without their own goals for the third time in a row?
The mood at Hertha is not much more positive at the moment. Despite high investments, the “old lady” clearly chases after her own claims. Most recently there was an embarrassing 0: 1 against Bielefeld and an equally disappointing 0: 0 against 1. FC Köln. The home game against Mainz in mid-December also ended goallessly.
In view of the decreased self-confidence on both sides and the style of play of avoiding mistakes recently shown, we are convinced that not many goals will be scored in a direct duel.
Betting Tips: Under 2.5
Odds: 2.25
Mainz vs VfL Wolfsburg Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 19
For Ridle Baku, the match on Tuesday evening in the Mainz Opel Arena will be a very special one. The new national player moved from Rheinhessen to Wolfsburg in September and is now meeting his old colleagues for the first time. From a purely tabular point of view, the native of Mainz, who can be used flexibly, did everything right, because while the zero five are crawling around in the penultimate place, VfL is still keeping up with the Champions League ranks.
As a result, it is not particularly surprising that lower odds on success of the wolves are offered in the Bundesliga on matchday 17. After just one win from the last five games, in which the Lower Saxony also fought respectable draws against RB Leipzig or Union Berlin, the Glasner team wants to get back on the road to success.
Wolfsburg wants to get back on the road to success
The Mainz team is showing a slight upward trend under the new coach Bo Svensson and even got a surprising point at Borussia Dortmund at the weekend. With a similarly courageous and concentrated performance, something should also be possible on Tuesday against the green-whites.
However, because both teams have a tough and exhausting game in their bones, we can well imagine that our concentration will decrease a bit. This in turn could result in goals on both sides.
Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Odds: 1.67
Schalke vs Koln Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 20
About ten days ago the world at Schalke was better than it had been for many months. With 4-0, the Knappen Hoffenheim were able to shoot out of their own stadium and thus ensure that the age-old record of 31 Bundesliga games without defeat remained exclusively at Tasmania Berlin. Coach Christian Gross’s team cannot buy much from it, however, because the table situation is still extremely dramatic.
After the eleventh defeat in the 16th game of the season on Sunday evening at Eintracht Frankfurt, the gap to the relegation place has already increased to five points. 1. FC Köln currently has that 16th place. The upcoming match between the Royal Blues and the “Effzeh” is all the more important and trend-setting. From the point of view of the Ruhrpottler, it is “forbidden to lose”.
Schalke have been without a win against Cologne at home for ten years
The situation is not much better for guests from the cathedral city. The Rhinelander has not met five consecutive games in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, the fact that the performances abroad – except for the 0: 5 ten days ago in Freiburg – have recently been quite impressive. Anyone who scores three points in Dortmund wins in Mainz and also fought a draw at RB Leipzig undoubtedly has the potential to land a big point in Gelsenkirchen.
The away win for Cologne in Schalke, which we predicted, is certainly one of the riskier betting tips in the Bundesliga on matchday 17, but the lucrative 2.95 at the top promises a more than acceptable value. Also because the last S04 home win against the billy goats goes back to 2011 (!). Cologne won three of the last five guest appearances in the Veltins Arena.
Betting Tips: Koln
Odds: 2.95
RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 20
What Union Berlin has achieved so far this season is inhuman. Week after week, some expect the iron to break in, but so far there has been no sign of a falling form curve or consistency problems in the team of coach Urs Fischer. Quite the opposite: On Friday, Union again surpassed itself and won the home game against Bayer Leverkusen 1-0.
Union against the top teams so far undefeated
On Wednesday evening, the top game at RB Leipzig is now on the program. The Saxons won only one of their last four league matches and most recently did not look very good defensively in the 1: 3 at home against Dortmund and in the 2: 2 in Wolfsburg. In order not to lose touch with Bayern, another slip should not actually happen.
In view of the last results of both teams and the enormous quality of the Eiserne, always being able to go to their own performance limits in games against the absolute top clubs in Germany, we dare to bet on the odds for a double chance in the second top game of the Bundesliga on matchday 17 definitely a small bet. From the three games against Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen Union got seven points so far!
Betting Tips: DC X / 2
Odds: 2.70
Freiburg vs Frankfurt Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 20
With 23 and 26 points respectively, both Freiburg and Frankfurt have had a really good season so far. While the sports club, after five wins in a row on Sunday, just got the short end of the game with 1: 2 at Bayern, Eintracht celebrated a well-deserved 3-1 win at home against Schalke.
Because the Hessians have now been unbeaten for five encounters and recently had the upper hand four times in a row, they are seventh only three points behind Borussia Dortmund (4th) or Bayer Leverkusen (3rd). In addition, Luka Jovic underlined with a double pack on his comeback how important he can become for the eagle bearers in the coming weeks.
From the point of view of the Hütter team, it will now be important to increase. The program seems feasible with tasks against Bielefeld, Hertha or Hoffenheim. The bottom line is that two teams face each other with a lot of self-confidence. We, therefore, expect a duel at eye level and can well imagine that there will be no winner after 90 minutes. In the Bundesliga, the X is also one of our betting tips on matchday 17.
Betting Tips: Draw
Odds: 3.60
Augsburg vs Bayern Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 20
Bayern is still about as far from their top form as a German darts player from winning the World Cup. In the Bundesliga, the record champions were last without conceding a goal on October 24th (!). The lowest point, for the time being, was the elimination of the DFB Cup at Holstein Kiel a week ago, when even a double lead was not enough to eliminate the second division team from the competition.
Betting on FCB in this phase of the season is therefore automatically associated with a certain risk, although you can at least rely on the offensive. In the last eight games in the top German league, Munich only scored less than two goals once. Robert Lewandowski’s life insurance company is also still chasing records. 21 goals after 16 matchdays are definitely an outstanding figure.
Since there is now an opponent waiting with the FCA who recently had huge problems at home to stabilize their own defensive, it can be assumed on Wednesday evening that the front runner will land one or two hits again. In the 17th game of the current season, the Flick team would score three or more goals for the ninth time.
Betting Tips: Bayern> 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.66
Bielefeld vs Stuttgart Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 20
Arminia Bielefeld finished the last second division season before VfB Stuttgart. In the new Bundesliga season, however, the Swabians have long outstripped the East Westphalia. The Matarazzo team is already at 22 points and thus eight more than the Arminia, who should not be dissatisfied with the previous yield and 15th place either.
The team of coach Uwe Neuhaus recorded a proud seven points from the last four games, even though Fabian Klos and Co. only scored two goals of their own. Defensively, however, the newcomer presented himself extremely stable and conceded only one goal in the same period. In any case, the defeats of the underdog were absolutely reasonable with the exception of the 0: 5 against Union Berlin and the 1: 4 against FC Bayern. In this respect, an under-tendency can again be recognized for next Wednesday.
Will VfB win the duel between the newcomers?
The Stuttgart team, however, have left the season as a typical over the team. The style of play is offensive and the approach is extremely brave. The most important question before the duel between the newcomers will therefore be who can better impose their own game on the other?
Here we see the advantages of the Swabians, who continue to have the best away team in the Bundesliga, mark almost three goals on average per away game and also have qualitative advantages.
Betting Tips: Victory Stuttgart
Odds: 1.85
