Sixteen goals from just the top four Bundesliga clubs made sports betting fans jump for joy, especially with the likes of Dortmund and Hoffenheim dominating their football games.
Indeed, this live betting goal-fest in the German top-flight couldn’t come at a better time as the battle for European places becomes more intense than ever.
Augsburg 2-2 RB Leipzig
It was a hard-fought match for Augsburg, but their aggressiveness paid off as they held title dreamers Leipzig to a 2-2 draw at home. Timo Werner was on target again for the Bulls; however, his efforts were not enough as the hosts displayed strong opposition, sparked by a quick start from Konstantinos Stafylidis who opened the scoring with a long-range strike in the 19th minute.
Borussia Dortmund 6-2 Bayer Leverkusen
BVB’s Ousmane Dembele found the back of the net within just six minutes, and it went downward spiral from there on for Bayer as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added a double. Kevin Volland and Wendell briefly cut the deficit in separate times, but Dortmund proved to be too powerful as they bagged three goals in the last 20 minutes.
With Thomas Tuchel’s men in great form, I reckon them to easily beat an Asian Handicap -0.75 @ 1.87 when they visit the Berliners next week.
Mainz 05 1-1 Wolfsburg
Every point matters for the relegation-threatened Wolves, so they are happy to take at least one from the 11th-placed Mainz. New Wolfsburg head coach Andries Jonker, nonetheless, has to wait for his first win with the club after Mainz’ Jhon Cordoba cancelled out Mario Gomez’ 20th-minute header.
Koln 0-3 Bayern Munich
Bayern’s convincing win at Cologne has a distinct Spanish taste on it after the duo of Javi Martinez and Juan Bernat propelled them to victory. Both Spaniards were on target and scored in both intervals before Franck Ribery sealed the deal at the death of time. Carlo Ancelotti has to thank Arturo Vidal and Thiago though as their dominance in midfield kept the Billy Goats at bay.
Werder Bremen 2-0 Darmstadt 98
Max Kruse’s second-half heroics allowed Bremen to climb to 14th and move further away from the drop zone. Bottom club Darmstadt gave an excellent showing in the first half, but a brace from Kruse—the first one a neat finish from the penalty spot—ended all their hopes and kept them rooted at the foot of the table without a point on the road.
Hoffenheim 5-2 Ingolstadt
Hoffenheim scored four goals in the final half-hour of the game to pile more misery on Ingolstadt who remain at 17th with only 18 points. Almog Cohen equalised Sebastian Rudy’s opener while an own-goal from Niklas Sule put Ingolstadt ahead at the hour; nevertheless, Adam Szalai immediately hit back and led the Hoffenheim late show for the brilliant turnaround.
After such a beautiful display of composure, Julian Nagelsmann’s outfit should be able to beat Freiburg comfortably at odds of 1X2 @ 2.40.
Borussia Monchengladbach 4-2 Schalke 04
Inspired by Fabian Johnson’s brace, Gladbach repulsed the spirited Royal Blues at the Borussia-Park in front of a supportive home crowd. After Nabil Bentaleb converted a penalty to cancel his opener, Johnson restored the lead in 64 minutes. Oscar Wendt and Raffael then made it beyond Schalke’s reach, even with Leon Goretzka’s late consolation.
Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Freiburg
It could have been a big day for Frankfurt with Makoto Hasebe breaking Yasuhiko Okudera’s record for most appearances in the Bundesliga, but the visiting Freiburg spoiled the celebrations through Florian Niederlechner who scored a double in both intervals. The Eagles now lost four league games, putting their European place in danger.
Hamburger SV 1-0 Hertha BSC
Hamburg seized three crucial points to keep their battle against relegation winnable, thanks to Albin Ekdal’s terrific showing from inside the box. Hertha remained fifth but dropped to four points below Hoffenheim for the fourth spot, while Hamburg stayed at 16th but level on points with Wolfsburg.
