Bundesliga 3rd matchday: compensation for black and yellow?
Have Dortmund and Bayern digested the shock?
Between October 2, 2020, and October 4, 2020, the 3rd matchday of the Bundesliga will take place. The current table in Germany is going crazy. At the front are Hoffenheim, Augsburg, and Frankfurt, while Bayern and Dortmund are only seventh and tenth after their first defeat of the season.
It is still difficult to draw a balance after two match days. Nevertheless, the first tendencies are becoming apparent, which can definitely influence betting in the Bundesliga on matchday 3.
What is explosive is the fact that both FSV Mainz 05 and FC Schalke 04 – the very teams that currently occupy the direct relegation places – put their coaches outside the door after just two match days. The question of who will be sitting on the benches at the weekend remains to be clarified.
Also interesting is the question of how Bayern and their alleged main hunter Borussia Dortmund deal with their defeats from the second matchday. Will they get back on the curve straight away or can the Bundesliga look forward to its most exciting season in a long time, if the trend is towards more regular point losses?
In any case, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the beginning of the week and take a close look at the nine exciting matches on the third day of the match. In the Bundesliga, interesting odds are also available on matchday three for all nine games that we have selected for you in this article from the best bookmakers.

Union Berlin vs Mainz Free Betting Tips
Date: October 2nd
FSV Mainz 05 gave away a 1-0 lead against newly-promoted Stuttgart at the weekend and ended up falling 4-1 at home, which cost Achim Beierlorzer his job after long discussions. The Rhineland-Palatinate go after two defeats and 2: 7 goals with great worries in the third game day.
Regardless of who the new coach will be, tips for a scoring game under a good star should be in the Bundesliga on matchday 3. There should be at least three hits, which is why this is the best possible bet for the Friday night game.
The Köpenick’s point win also seems to be a valid assessment, after the Eiserne presented themselves strongly after the home defeat at the start in Gladbach and kidnapped a counter in Borussia-Park. Secured as a “Draw No Bet”, the bet on the home win of the capital city residents also throws a lot of value.
Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.85
Cologne vs. Gladbach Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3
Borussia Mönchengladbach has to play away at arch-rival Cologne in the Rhenish derby at an inconvenient moment. The foals only lost the opening game in Dortmund with 0: 3, before they didn’t get past a 1-1 draw at home against Union Berlin. The risk of slipping into a false start is accordingly high.
However, the billy goats came out of the break badly and lost their first two games of the season against Hoffenheim and Bielefeld. In particular, their lack of opportunities at Arminia ensures that the tendency is in the direction of Borussia, which also won the last away derby in the cathedral city a year ago with 1-0.
Betting Tips: Gladbach wins
Odds: 1.91
Dortmund vs. Freiburg Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3rd
The black-and-yellow team’s 3-0 opening win was followed by an unexpected 2-0 defeat at FC Augsburg on Saturday afternoon. A result that ultimately led to the legitimate question of whether BVB, which did not score despite 80% possession and 18 shots, is really mature enough to be the number one Bayern hunter.
Conversely, the exploitation of chances is also the big issue with the Black Forests, who missed the best opportunities to win against VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday evening, but once again showed their enormous quality in standard situations in the intermittent 1-0 lead. No Bundesliga team is more effective at corners and free kicks than the Baden-Württemberg team, which could also benefit them in the Signal-Iduna-Park.
In a game in which both teams are still pending the final verdict on where they stand, we consider the bet that both teams will score at least once as the most sustainable.
Betting Tips: BTS: Yes
Odds: 1.73
Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3rd
TSG Hoffenheim presented itself as strong as a bear on the first two matchdays under the new coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who won the third division championship this summer with the second garrison of FC Bayern. Now he showed the world how to annoy the first division of the Reds, who were sent home with 4-1 on Sunday.
Certainly, the fact that FCB had an exhausting game in the UEFA Super Cup on Thursday and initially left players like Lewandowski on the bench plays a role here. Nevertheless, it is becoming apparent that the kicker from Kraichgau is to be taken very seriously under their new coach.
Although the SGE started well and goes into this home game in third place with four out of six possible points, we consider Hoffenheim’s point to be just as likely as a goal for both teams. We, therefore, combine both tips in the Bundesliga on matchday 3 at an attractive odds of 2.15.
Betting Tips: X2 & BTS: Yes
Odds: 2.15
VfB Stuttgart vs Leverkusen Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3
In the case of the promoters from Swabia, the knot audibly burst in the 4-1 victory in Mainz at the weekend. With four goals conceded from the first two league games, the focus in training during the week must still be on working on the defensive.
On the other hand, there is a Werkself who didn’t miss much at the back, but which also lost a lot of attacking power because of the departures of Kai Havertz and Kevin Volland. The Rhinelander only scored one goal in their first two league games against Wolfsburg and Leipzig, both of which ended in a draw.
Against this background, we do not expect a peat festival in this duel either. In the Bundesliga, bets on a maximum of three goals between Stuttgart and Leverkusen on matchday three are very promising.
Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Odds: 1.66
Werder Bremen vs Bielefeld Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3
The cracking opening defeat of Werder (1: 4 at home against Berlin) was followed by a 3: 1 victory at Schalke, with which the Kohfeldt troop climbed to eleventh place. It remains to be seen whether Bremen will have what it takes to stay in these areas of the table or whether it will be another tough battle against relegation.
In any case, it is clear that Arminia Bielefeld is fighting against relegation, although the East Westphalia started almost perfectly with four out of six possible points in 2-1 goals. Bremen still knows that in the home game against a potential direct competitor to stay in the league, a three-point has to be found.
It is very noticeable that all three goals in Arminia’s two games were not scored until the second half. At SVW, too, five of the nine goals were scored at half-time two.
Betting Tips: More goals in 2nd half
Odds: 2.05
RB Leipzig vs Schalke Free Betting Tips
Date: October 3rd
Across the seasons, FC Schalke 04 are now 18 Bundesliga games in a row without a win, which consequently cost David Wagner his job. In this bad shape of all things, Royal Blue now has to travel to Saxony.
Not only can RBL look forward to one of the highest numbers of permitted spectators in all of Germany, but Julian Nagelsmann’s men are also one of the strongest troops on the top floor of German football.
Accordingly, we do not see any potential in possible outsider bets on the squire’s point gain. Instead, the only question is how the odds for the Red Bulls’ home win can be increased in the Bundesliga on matchday three. Given Schalke’s goal difference of 1:11, the Asian handicap of -1.5 makes the most sense.
Betting Tips: Leipzig (AHC -1.5)
Odds: 1.75
Wolfsburg vs Augsburg Free Betting Tips
Dater: October 4th
FC Augsburg started the 2020/21 season perfectly with two wins, although the Fuggerstädter had two tough games away at Union Berlin and at home against Borussia Dortmund. On the other hand, VfL won one point both in the 0-0 draw against Leverkusen and in the 1-1 draw in Freiburg based on the proportion of the game.
To make matters worse, the Wolves had to play five competitive games within 15 days due to their participation in the qualifying games for the Europa League and also have another exhausting match in front of their chests in the run-up to the home game against Augsburg on Thursday evening at AEK Athens.
Oliver Glasner rotated and changed to no less than eight positions at the weekend. Overall, however, the squad still lacks the breadth of quality and the well-rehearsed. We see the Bavarian Swabians ahead and recommend betting on the points win for the Fuggerstadt team in the Bundesliga on matchday three. The Double Chance X2 can optionally also be combined with a realistic goal bet such as “Over 1.5” to get a odds to boost on the ticket.
Betting Tips: Double chance X2
Odds: 1.92
Bayern vs. Hertha Free Betting Tips
Date: October 4th
Bayern and Hertha experienced two completely different game days. The Reds started with an 8-0 home win over Schalke, but then caught a 1: 4 defeat in Hoffenheim. The old lady meanwhile had a 4: 1 in Bremen followed by a 1: 3 home defeat against Frankfurt.
Both teams now want to return to the road to success on matchday three and show that it was not the successful start, but only last weekend that was a bit of a hiccup.
If the game is difficult to predict, although Bayern is of course the clear favorite, we expect one thing above all: goals. There were no fewer than 13 goals in two games for Bayern. There were nine at Hertha. We, therefore, choose the bet on over 3.5 goals.
Betting Tips: Over 3.5 goals
Odds: 1.64
