Bundesliga 20th matchday betting tips: Do the home teams convince again?
Will the BVB continue to be passed on?
Since the beginning of the ghost games, the question has often been asked to what extent the home advantage would suffer from the empty ranks. In fact, there was initially a slight trend towards away wins in the Bundesliga. Last weekend, however, a completely different picture emerged. In seven out of nine games, the respective host had the upper hand. There were also two draws. Away wins? Nothing!
According to the betting odds, the probability that this phenomenon will repeat itself in the Bundesliga on matchday 20 is negligible. No wonder, because after all, the top four of the ranking are all challenged abroad. Both Bayern at the “Old Lady” in Berlin and RB Leipzig at Schalke and Wolfsburg in Augsburg are rightly considered favourites.
The situation in the lower half of the table in the Bundesliga is also interesting. While the Royal Blues have to plan for the 2nd Bundesliga as the bottom of the league, Mainz is fighting again on Saturday at home against Union Berlin for the connection to the safe bank. There are three clubs in Cologne, Hertha and Bielefeld that are hungry for points.
And finally, there is the question of whether the controversial Sebastian Hoeneß can continue to call himself a Bundesliga coach after the match between his TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt.
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.
Hertha vs Bayern Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 5
The fans of the Berlin Hertha are really not to be envied at the moment. From the last five games, the “Big City Club” recorded only one point and left the field as a loser four times. There was also no coach change effect in the previous week. Under Pal Dardai, the “old lady” received a 1: 3 bankruptcy at Eintracht Frankfurt. If the form crisis in the capital continues there, Hertha is even threatened with relegation.
As if the current situation wasn’t problematic enough, the most feared opponent is waiting on Friday evening. Only two of the last 34 direct duels were able to win the BSC against Bayern. But at least one of them in September 2018 under Pal Dardai. Nevertheless, predicting a home win on matchday 20 is not an option in the Bundesliga.
FCB seems to have recovered after some difficulties and is currently rushing from victory to victory. In the Bundesliga, Munich has four three-a-side players in a row, the last two were even very clear (4: 0, 4: 1). The Flick team always led at halftime.
This time we again believe in a start-finish victory for the record champions and therefore recommend a tip on the double result HT2 / FT2. Alternatively, a “to zero” victory for Bayern can be alluded to, especially since Manuel Neuer kept his box clean in 15 of his 22 Bundesliga games against Hertha.
Freiburg vs Dortmund Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
Borussia Dortmund was able to pull its head out of the loop in the DFB Cup during the week. Despite a comfortable 2-0 lead against SC Paderborn, the Terzic team had to go into extra time and ultimately benefited from a dubious referee decision. In addition to the again obvious problems in their own defensive network, the 120 minutes also cost strength.
Accordingly, it is not one hundred percent clear to us why the betting odds in this duel are clearly in favour of the black and yellow. Maybe it is due to the fact that Borussia did not lose any of the last 19 clashes against the sports club …
Will the sports club end the dry spell against tired Dortmunders?
But it is also a fact that the people of Breisgau are playing a very strong season, only got the short straw twice at home and, looking back on the past six home games, even collected 14 out of a possible 18 points. On the other hand, there are three defeats in Dortmund in the last four away games. In our opinion, one of the hottest betting tips in the Bundesliga on matchday 20 is to play Double Chance 1 / X and bet on a very likely point win by Christian Streich’s team.
Betting Tips: DC 1 / X
Odds: 2.30
Schalke vs RB Leipzig Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
From week to week, Schalke’s hopes of relegation dwindle. Although Christian Gross’ team was able to score again at 1-1 in Bremen last week, the gap to the saving bank is already nine points. For a team that has only won once in the entire season, this means an almost insurmountable mortgage.
The fact that the Gelsenkircheners’ points account will be topped up on Saturday afternoon can almost be ruled out, especially since S04 has to do with RB Leipzig at home. There was no other first division club that the Ruhrpottler scored less often than against the “Red Bulls”. Five of the last nine direct duels were lost, including the last home game to date, which the Saxons won 5-0.
Can Schalke crack the strong RB defence?
We would rule out such a high success for the coming weekend and yet everything indicates that the “nail men” will not let anything get lost. The quality is too high, especially on the defensive. Nine clean sheets in the season so far are definitely an indicator of placing bets on another “clean sheet” success for the Champions League round of 16 on matchday 20.
Incidentally, this assumption coincides with the not uninteresting fact that the current second in the Bundesliga 2020/21 only got three points away if Peter Gulacsi kept the clean slate. Otherwise, there were four draws and two defeats.
Betting Tips: RBL wins to zero
Odds: 2.25
Augsburg vs Wolfsburg Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
It’s been almost two years since FC Augsburg suffered the highest defeat in their Bundesliga history to date. On the 34th matchday of the 2018/2019 season, the Fuggerstadt team fell 8-1 against VfL Wolfsburg, who also recorded their highest win. In general, the Wolves have now been unbeaten against the FCA for six league games.
However, this alone is not the only reason why we assume an away win in the direct duel between Augsburg and Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon. To make matters worse, from the point of view of the Herrlichf team, is that they lost four of the last five matches and never conceded a goal in the last nine home games.
Will VfL maintain their Champions League place?
The green-whites, on the other hand, are in good shape and have climbed to third place in the table thanks to three wins in a row without conceding a goal. In terms of self-confidence and form, the advantages are clearly with Wout Weghorst and Co.
The Dutchman scored his 13th goal of the season last weekend in his win against Freiburg. No other VfL player had as many goals under his belt as the Glasner team’s offensive life insurance after 19 match days.
Betting Tips: Win Wolfsburg
Odds: 1.87
Mainz vs Union Berlin Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
Almost every week old memories of successful times under Thomas Tuchel or Jürgen Klopp are carved out on the social channels of FSV Mainz 05. The fact that the zero fives thirst for the past in order to block out the present may be the wrong step, but it is definitely understandable. The Rheinhessen don’t have much reason to cheer at the moment.
As penultimate of the table, coach Bo Svensson’s team is still seven points short of the saving bank. Only one of the last eleven Bundesliga games was won, about two weeks ago at home against RB Leipzig (3-2). In their own stadium, the relegation candidate is now determined to step up, even though Union Berlin is a very uncomfortable opponent.
Mainz at home under pressure
Although the iron team recently fell in the fight for the Europa League ranks and only booked one point from three games, they still have the connection upwards as eighth. Especially offensively, there was relatively little convergence recently, which is impressively underlined by only three goals in four games.
Because Mainz also has their problems making the right decisions in the dangerous area and consequently remained completely without a goal in four of the last five home games, we consider it advisable to tip in the Bundesliga on matchday 20 that between Mainz and Union Berlin fall a maximum of two goals. Even a 0-0 at halftime – based on the latest statistics – may be worth a bet.
Betting Tips: Under 2.5
Odds: 1.90
Leverkusen vs. VfB Stuttgart Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
During the week Bayer Leverkusen became the laughing stock of German football. The Werkself were sensationally eliminated from the regional division Rot-Weiß Essen in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup, although they still took the lead 1-0 in extra time. This confirmed the worrying trend of the calendar year 2021, in which the Rhinelander are now with a win from seven games and have slipped into a solid crisis.
Leverkusen cup failure want to end their crisis
On Saturday a very dangerous opponent will come to the BayArena. VfB Stuttgart is still the second-best away team in the Bundesliga. The newcomer has already won five encounters abroad. Only FC Bayern collected more points in opposing stadiums and scored more goals than the Matarazzo team.
Although there is some evidence to favour VfB Stuttgart in the betting tips in the Bundesliga on matchday 20, it should not be forgotten that Leverkusen only lost one of the last 17 direct duels in the upper house against the Swabians and overall against no other first division club booked more victories than against VfB (36).
Against this background, we turn away from a prediction of the outcome of the game and instead risk a tip that at least two goals will be scored in the first half.
Betting Tips: Over 1.5 (1.HT)
Odds: 2.25
Gladbach vs Cologne Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 6
Unlike in the past weeks, when two absolutely top teams were actually facing each other in a direct duel on Saturday evening, there will be a Rhenish derby between Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Köln on this Saturday. Of course, tension is still required, after all, for both teams, there are important points with which they want to get closer to their own goal for the season.
In terms of form, the advantages are certainly with the home side, who have been without defeat for six Bundesliga games and have won four matches during this period. Among other things, FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund were defeated at home. Now, however, a completely different challenge awaits, as it seems unlikely that the foals will get as many rooms at home against the relegation candidate from the cathedral city as against other opponents.
We do not rule out a surprise coup for the underdog and risk a tip on the double chance X / 2 in the Saturday evening game in the Bundesliga on matchday 20. In order to minimize the risk, however, we limit the period to the first half.
Betting Tips: DC X / 2 (1.HT)
Odds: 1.75
Hoffenheim vs Frankfurt Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 7
Before the 1: 4 bankruptcy in the previous week against FC Bayern, Sebastian Hoeneß bought a little time in the fight for his job at TSG Hoffenheim with seven points from three games and three clean sheets. Nevertheless, the Kraichgauer are still lagging behind their own claims and another negative run could result in Hoeneß ‘being fired.
We think a defeat on Sunday afternoon is anything but unlikely, after all, the team of the hour in the Bundesliga is travelling south. Frankfurter Eintracht has not lost since December 11th and has since booked 20 out of a possible 24 points. So it’s no wonder that the Hessians have now jumped to fourth place in the ranking.
The Hütter team also particularly enjoy playing against TSG, because all five previous duels under the direction of the Austrian trainer have been won. Also impressive is the fact that the SGE has always scored at least two goals in the last eight Bundesliga games this season. Against one of the better home defensives of the House of Lords, who recently failed to concede a goal twice in a row, this streak could now break. A maximum of one Eintracht goal on the weekend in the PreZero Arena would be the result.
Betting Tips: Frankfurt <1.5 goals Odds: 2.15
Bielefeld vs Werder Bremen Free Betting Tips by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: February 7
Werder Bremen is currently on the verge of breaking out of the relegation zone. The Hanseatic League lost just one of their last five Bundesliga games and confirmed the upward trend during the week by making it into the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup. To round off a good week, all that’s missing is a success in the “six-point game” at Arminia Bielefeld. If the Kohfeldt team wins on the Alm, the lead on the relegation place continues to grow.
Bielefeld focuses on the defensive again
The East Westphalia did not really spread much fear and horror last week when they lost in Cologne. Because the previous match at home against Eintracht Frankfurt (1: 5) went completely wrong and Uwe Neuhaus was not particularly satisfied with the work against the ball, we assume that the Bielefeld team will be deeply and compactly defending their chances on Sunday will be waiting.
At the end of the weekend in the Bundesliga, we are aiming for the odds of a goalless first half between Bielefeld and Bremen on matchday 20. This is supported by the fact that Arminia is the most harmless offensive of the first round with only four goals scored in the first 45 minutes. On the other hand, it was still 0-0 in three of the last five Werder matches at the break, which is why we are playing the attractive odds with a medium stake.
Betting Tips: 0: 0 (1.HT)
Odds: 2.70
