The position on the league table doesn't reflect the realistic quality difference between today's opponents, Mainz definitely aren't that much better than Stuttgart which should be confirmed in the Spring part of the season, but I believe that they will use the home field advantage here and earn their third straight win. Because the fact that they are currently in their best period this season is indisputable, and coach Schmidt is having sweet worries regarding the lineup. Considering the condition in the rival team, all of their basic prerequisites for their new success are fulfilled.
One of them is Daniel Didavi's injury (which is what prompted me to write this prediction), who was Stuttgart's only bright spot during Harnik and Ginczek's absence (five goals, four assists), and without him the away team's already unconvincing offense will probably be even less dangerous. And we shouldn't even waste words on the defense, 36 conceded goals in 15 rounds is an information that speaks for itself. Details

It's very ungratifying to predict who will win this match, but if we are to judge by both of the teams' results after the international break, there will be no lack of goals. Because when Augsburg play, 'under' is a rarity, and Wolfsburg with eight goals in the last two matches seem to be getting into their "goal-getter" shape. Even though they didn't do too great in the away matches so far in Bundesliga, we can assume they will score something against Augsburg whose defense is no solid rock.
Generally speaking, I think that it's pretty obvious that both teams will score, and in that case I believe someone will score (at least) another one since a draw doesn't mean much to anyone. The odds are solid and all in all, I think it's worth to aim for the classical 'over'. Details

After the big away win over Grasshoppers, we can say that Jeff Saibene made a new Thun. In three rounds under his lead (they also made it to the cup quarter-finals), they won more points that in the 11 before his arrival. I'm to believe that today their good run will continue. Because Saibene knows today's opponents down to the bone, since he was until recently a manager in St. Gallen, and his former team are still looking for themselves and can't seem to tie two good matches.
St. Gallen's bad statistics in away games (only five points out of the 21 possible) also favor this bet, and then there's the famed artificial grass which many don't favor. When you add to it quite solid odds, I think this one is good for a moderate bet. Details

This is a life and death kind of game for Zurich. They are officially stuck at the bottom of the table now and it's time for them to start winning. It is not realistic that they will stay here for a long time given the quality. St. Gallen have 4 defeats in 6 away games, including the last one to Lugano, meaning their form is not good and they seem like a perfect opponent for Zurich.
The odds suggest the bookies agree but betting on Zurich still has certain value with a moderate stake. Zurich simply have to beat someone sooner or later. Details

If this duel was played in Frankfurt, I'd skip this bet. However, Ingolstadt are the home team, and they're struggling at home for some reason, struggling to score, so I think these odds for an under are totally acceptable. Eintracth don't really shine offensively despite their huge potential. It's like someone turned off their light after they beat Koln 6-2. They only scored once in the following three rounds, even though their opponents weren't that difficult (Schalke aren't either, although they are efficient and leave lots of room in the defense, if you know how to use it).
As much as both these teams claim they want a win, the fact is that their league table position is far from critical, and I'm kind of prone to think that in this match, both teams will be waiting for the opponent's mistake, rather than attack with everything they've got. In those conditions, not too many goals should be scored, at least no more than two. Details

Not counting the match in Darmstadt in the unbearable heat of the end of August, which was hard to watch, let alone play (it ended 0-0), Hoffenheim managed to score a goal in all the matches so far, regardless of their list of opponents including Bayern, Leverkusen, and Dortmund. So, the conclusion that arises is that they should score at least once in Augsburg as well, since the home team's defense aren't synonymous with firmness, as presented in Monchengladbach on Wednesday.
Since Hoffenheim's defense aren't exactly rock solid either, they're likely to concede a goal, too, and that brings us to the option "both will score", which was the first thing that popped to my head when seeing this duel. But, considering the odds for that are low, I decided for the typical over which is still attractive enough, considering that the starting point is that neither would be satisfied with one point, and that means both sides will use an open approach. Details

The law or large numbers suggests that we shouldn't ignore the fact Monchengladbach's win is paid three times as much should not be ignored. I think they are definitely The club that represents Germany in Champions League has to get better since they are basically the same team that finished in third in Bundesliga last season. It's simply not natural for them to be in this position for a longer period of time. It is also not very realistic that Koln stay in the upper part of the table for long. They might have gotten off to a good start but the game against Eintracht proved how limited they really are. The local derby match will get them extra motivated but if both teams do their best, Borussia should still emerge victorious, given their potential. I choose the option that brings profit even in case of a draw just to be sure. Details

It's not really normal that Zurich are stuck at the bottom of the league table - because before the season started, they were hoping to compete for the first place, next to Basel. They're just too good for this to last. I think they'll go up the league table today. Samy Hypia probably managed to get the players to snap out of it with his charisma, even though I admit I'd take that option if the odds were 1.70-1.75.
The truth is that Thun will have their say here, but they were and are an average team who can hardly compete for better places in the long run, even now that they're not playing in Europe anymore. And it's common knowledge that the guests aren't nearly as efficient as they are when they play at home where they take advantage of their artificial turf. They have been weaker on the real turf for years now. Details

This is a typical example of a match in which you expect from a team who aim for the highest to impose their authority on the league rookies. Considering the odds are quite good, I think you should support the option that Wolfsburg is really going to do that. Because even without De Bruyne and Perisic, Wolfsburg are very strong, and they've shown that when they wiped the floor with Schalke. In the end they have Draxler, and with the right approach, Ingolstadt shouldn't pose a problem. The difference in quality the Bavarian club will try to make up with feistiness, but so far the impression is that it's easier for them to play away matches when nothing is expected from them. Details

Since St. Gallen are the least efficient team in the league, having played 6 unders in the first 6 rounds, I was pretty surprised to see these odds. I find the only logical explanation for it in head-to-head games from last season, which averaged 4 goals each.
We could be in for another productive game, football is very unpredictable but St.Gallen are struggling in offense, which is why I think it's a shame not to try and make some money on it and the fact this option is paid double. Especially sine Vaduz played 4 out of 6 unders, which means there is defintiely value here. Details

Eintracht weren't too successful against Augsburg lately, but I feel like that's going to change today. The current team showed some good things in Wolfsburg, lead by the new/old coach Veh, despite losing in the end. It's hard to imagine Augsburg at the top of the league table again, and the duel against Hertha showed they'll have a tough period ahead. So, while the odds to their wins against their opponents are still good on account of them getting the 5th place last season, I think we should try and use them. An additional handicap for the guests is the fact that their forward Bobadilla is suspended today, and that should make them less dangerous offensively, because Molders and/or Caiuby aren't up to par, honestly. Let's also add that this is the first home match for Eintracth this season, with over 40 thousand fans. The fact that their win is paid pretty well, and all that we said so far, I think all that is good enough of a reason to use this option. Details

Since the Young Boys have gotten better while Lugano's defense did horribly against GC, the first think that came to may mind when learning about this game was that it's going to be productive. I was pretty sure that the odds at classical 2.5 over will be quite low, which they did and there is no logic in betting on that.
However, you can still make quite a lot on the void bet (if exactly three goals get scored). Given Lugano's current form and difference in quality, the Young Boys should at least score three goals themselves. And since the offense oriented visitors can always score at least once, I think there are more than enough chances for profits here. Details

I know that city derbies are extremely ungrateful for prediction, especially if the season just started as it did in this case. But considering the problems Zurich are currently having, this is for Grasshopers - who had a great start of the season and have a great team at their disposal - a unique chance to defeat them (which will have to happen eventually according to the law of big numbers), and I think it would be a shame not to bet something on that option, because you could earn a lot for a relatively small stake.
The information that Zurich won their last five head-to-head games shouldn't play a big role, because of the last year's GC team who lost so many games, only a few players have stayed in the locker room, so the current roster shouldn't really be burdened by the bad series. All in all, the 'Grasshoppers' will not have all the prerequisites on their side again any time soon, and if they win the derby today, then I don't know if they ever will. Details

This is simple, Sion are a better team and plan to fight for the top, and they showed they have a basis for that in Luzerno, despite that black-out in the final moments of the game. Their coach Tholot says, if you are serious, it has to show in your home games, and no doubt that they'll try and prove his words today.
Kouassi and Ziegler bring stability to the defense, and their comeback should help them break St. Gallen more easily. St. Gallen are a limited team, and their potential can't bring them big results. It's obvious who the favorite here is from this fact - in the last match these two played at Tourbillon, Sion won 3-0 thanks to Konate's hat-trick. The Senegalese definitely won't do the same thing today, but scoring the goal in Luzern confirms he's still a great danger, and he should lead his team to the new win. Details

This is the first official game for both teams, which makes it difficult to predict, but considering the odds I think it's worth betting on Hapoel's win with a modest stake. Hapoel have, unlike their opponent, invested in acquisitions - especially in the offensive part of the team - and they will go after a positive result for the return fixture at any cost. They will probably have easier time adjusting to the temperature at which the game will be played, and another thing that's not in Thun's favor is the fact that they traditionally fare badly in away games, last year in the national championship they won only three of 18 away games, and won only 16 points. I'm not saying that the Swiss can't advance, but I believe they can't avoid defeat today. Details

I know it's not typical in any kind of playoffs finale to offer such a bet, but rarely has anyone been such a favorite in this phase of the competition such as Novara are against Casalmaggiore who physically and mentally broke down in the semi-final series against Conegliana, and the job was finished this Wednesday after more than two hours of battling. Simply put, it's hard to imagine Mazzanti's team having prepared in two days for this match, and on the other hand Novara had a whole week to bring themselves in the best shape possible. Taking into consideration Pedulla's experience, he probably hit that shape good.
The proof for that are their editions in semi-finals, where they dealt with Piacenza without much trouble. In two home matches they practically toyed aroud with them. Casalmaggiore will probably put up a bigger fight, but all in all I think 3-0 is the most realistic outcome, and with such odds it's worth to try it out. Details

As much as Thun's coach Fischers tries to calm down the situation, it's clear Sion owe them a lot, and there's no doubt that the home players will be additionally buffed in order to win tonight. That extra motive is not the only reason because of which I think they'll make it, there are a couple of more factors which favor that. First of all, they have to redeem for being beaten by their city rivals Young Boys, although they didn't deserve to be beaten so hard.
Secondly, their captain Hediger is returning. With him the midfield is a lot more stable, and on the other hand Sion will be missing a couple of important defensive players (Ndoye, Ziegler, Kouassi) which won't be easy to overcome painlessly. And finally, there's the famous artificial turf on which Thun doas a lot better than away. The data of eight wins in 14 matches will best confirm that, and all in all with these odds it would be a shame to avoid this match. Details

Fifteen matches or six months (four really, if you take away those two of Swiss winter break), that's how long Aarau didn't get a championship win. I think that free fall's been going for too long, and even though they'll probably be eliminated from the league, it's hard to believe they won't beat anyone for the rest of the season. And with their win paid triple, it's not a bad idea to take it with a middle stake. Because today the center back Garat and the midfielder Burki will play today, and that makes the home team much stronger. On the other hand, Sion will play without their captain Kouassi, and aren't one of those who couldn't be beat despite a good series in the cup. Also, the guests are definitely mentally drained after the big win in Zurich. That might influence their game today, and all in all, a bet on 1 doesn't seem to be that incredible, despite the fact that Aarau forgot what's it like to be winning. Details

Bergamo could give Novara some problems at home, but they'll hardly do that as a guest, at least the results from the regular part of the season suggest so. In the regular part, when they played away against the best teams (Novara, Casalmaggiore, Piacenza), they regularly got beat. The only set they won in those was against Casalmaggiore. Actually, the only team they beat in the "relevant" away duels were Conegliano (at the beginning of the season when they were a bit underestimated), and Arsizio when Arsizio were still in trance after defeating the Dynamo Moscow, and were completely focused on the Champions League.
Today, they'll face Novara who secured the first place for the playoff relatively early, and have been getting ready for this duel for three weeks. They won most of the home duels in the league 3-0. That result is a decent bet here with the odds offered. The home team not only want to win this game, they want to make a great show out of it, too, to confirm the authority they worked hard for to build in the last months, as a message to their future opponents. Details

I'm not completely clear if the odds for the classical "over" of 2.5 here is set correctly, but when you take into consideration that two teams will clash who are both led by new coaches and that they've started thinking more offensively - and who's recent matches were rich with goals - it's hard to resist it. Sion, led by the fantastic Konate, scored six goals in the last two matches, and that makes you think that this evening in Tourbillon could be efficient, especially if Grasshoppers accept the open card game which the hosts will try to impose from the very start.
And there's no reason for them not to do so, because with a couple of tied positive results both of them are far from the bottom of the table, and objectively they don't have to fear for the danger zone. Because of that nothing should stop them to play a match of "who will score more goals, and not concede less". Details
