the ref in the Dortmund -Ingolstadt match must be a Dortmund fan.

- 1:0 offside by Aubemeyang
- 2:0 hand by Mikitaryan
- Hummels foul must have been a sent-off
- Dortmunds own goal was regular and no foul

 

[JimJams]

Yep, and what an og that would have been if the ref werent bent.

 

[Stevencc]

I had Dortmund included in a winning accumulator so that ref is a gentleman and a scholar.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Good win tonight, gets our ruchrunde up and running...

Hoffenheim will face Darmstadt in the last game of Bundesliga 20th game week. The teams are on the bottom of the table and struggle not to be relegated. We suggest the game should be hot and attacking because each team extremely needs to win.

In last 2 games Hoffenheim played against top teams Bayern munich and Leverkusen and gained 1 point there that is not so bad. But now in the match with direct competitor of relegation battle only win will be positive result.

Nevertheless Darmstadt fight to keep place in the league surprisingly the team is third after Bayern and Borussia Dortmund of away matches results. We suppose today Darmstadt will try to confirm this trend as the opponent is not so strong. Darmstadt plays quite well and creates many chances every game but implementation of chances into goals should be much more better. It is expected that big forward Wagner (194cm height) will be in attacking line today and Darmstadt should have chances "on the second floor".

Bookmakers offer for current game total corners of 9.5 with 1.95 odds for over (at Bet365). We consider this total is not so high and the bet on over of 9.5 total corners should be win. In the teams first head-to-head match this season there was goalless draw but 10 corners.

Let's look at some stats facts of teams corners. There was 12 times over 9.5 corners in 19 Hoffenheim matches this season and 6 of 9 times it was over at home. Also in Darmstadt away mathes teams delivered more that 9.5 corners 6 of 9 times and avarage total corners of Darmstadt at away is 10.67.

So we expect to see today interesting attacking game and believe the corners total will be beaten easily. Good luck!

What has happened to Wolfsburg - really gone off the rails?

 

[mente captus]

bremen is winning at the moment in Leverkusen in the dfb cup quarter final, but the ref have surely some bets on the game, an offside goal, not given sent-off and a penalty for Bremen while Leverkusen had an early first half sent-off....made it 3:1 for them with only 5 minutes left

Anyone for tennis?

I've got a couple of tennis balls in my bag for when I go in a fortnight.

Hoffenheim appointed Nagelmann as their new manager. the guy is just 28 years old and set a new Bundesliga record

 

[mistermagic]

I don't quite get their demise. They were solid and very hard to beat last season and no major players left in the summer. They've pretty much sealed the relegation spots along with Hannover. Meh.

 

[lisbongooner]

Hamburg ... are you slowly making it back to the relegation playoff spot , eh?

Except Robbie F...

I'm surprised they've managed to keep hold of Volland, Sule, Rudy etc but I imagine that if they drop down then they'll be some of the first to go. Big game at Bremen today too - a home win could be a nail in the coffin for Hoffenheim.

It looks like the fight for the relegation playoff will be interesting - not quite as exciting as last years relegation battle but there's a bit of bottleneck forming in that bottom half. Also, Mainz are doing superbly so far - didn't realise they were two points off 3rd.

 

[voltage]

Mainz is growing really well in the competition, any slip from Schalke or Hertha could cost their CL position in the table to Mainz very soon.

 

[voltage]

Surprisingly Mainz stumbled to Hoffenheim.

And inspired day of Thomas Muller, leaded Bayern to the victory and scored that beautiful goal from a bicycle kick.

 

[mistermagic]

Thoughts on Belhanda, MC?

 

[voltage]

Agitated match between Dortmund and Leverkusen. Contested refreeing, coach expulsion and resistence, protests, then the refree leave the field and paralyzes the game...what a hissy fit man. Anyway, despite all this it was an important victory to Dortmund but sometimes I felt Leverkusen was prejudiced by bad refreeing.

 

[Super_horns]

If every ref walked off when a player or manager didn't listen to them you'd never see the game end!

Dortmund certainly do seem to back to the team they were Pre-Klopp's final season.

My weekend of football is here! Bognor v Torquay later followed by Dortmund v Hoffenheim.

Should be a cracker!

 

[Super_horns]

Bit of a contrast eh?

 

[Smudge]

Ive just got home from mine! Saw Koln 0-1 Hertha Berlin, and Bochum 3-2 Sandhausen. Two good games, two great atmospheres and a fantastic trip all round.

 

[yellow]

Bit of a contrast eh?

Yep!

Loved it.

 

[Super_horns]

Bayern lose at last - maybe a sniff for Dortmund if they win at the weekend.

 

[voltage]

Mainz is really a team to be careful with. Yeah, this result makes Bayern x Dortmund on Saturday even more interesting.

 

[yellow]

Indeed. Dortmund rested players last night too - really hoping for a win to make it exciting.

The bottom has got a bit closer now too with Hoffenheim winning again. Nagelsmann got his tactics spot on at Dortmund last week but for the red card. I think they'd have got something with eleven men as they were superb on the counter in the first 50 minutes.

 

[mistermagic]

Der Klassiker was a great game. There were a few chances but the most impressive was the intensity with which both teams played. It started off great with Aubameyang testing Neuer and Douglas Costa missing a one-on-one against Bürki but the second half was less intense. Still Bürki pulled off a worldie on a Vidal volley from a corner and ensured the gap was kept at 5 points.

I have no doubt that the men in yellow are going to destroy Spurs in the EL tie. 2nd spot is as good as safe.

For the race for the remaining 2 CL slots, Wolfsburg beat Gladbach 2-1. It looks like they want to save a poor season by making late surge. Gladbach's defeat is Schalke's gain as they won at Köln 3-1.

Things are looking bleak for Roger Schmidt and Leverkusen though. They got hammered 1-4 by Bremen in midweek and were 3-0 down with an hour gone at Augsburg. Thankfully, they pegged the game back to 3-3 but Schmidt is on borrowed time at Leverkusen who are 8th (but still only 6 pts from 3rd).

At the bottom, Bremen leave the bottom 3 after a 4-1 win over Hannover (who looked good value with their win at Stuttgart last weekend) and leave this unwanted place to Frankfurt who have won just once in the Ruckrunde. Reckon that this 17th spot will be contested between them and Hoffenheim who lost heavily at Stuttgart yesterday (1-5).

In the Buli Zwei, big fat bravo to 1860 who won 3 games on the trot and are out of the relegation zone for the first time since August.

 

[yellow]

Yep, didn't get around to watching it but it sounded like a great game! Does that end the title race though?

Disagree about Schmidt being on borrowed time just yet, all it takes is a couple of wins and they're in the european spots again. However, he's still banned for the next few weeks so I guess by then it could be all over for their top 3/4 hopes.

 

[Super_horns]

Frankfurt's board have done what Newcastle fans probably wish theirs would do in a bid to stave off relegation..

[lisbongooner]

Come on Hertha !!!!
(I´m not a Hertha Berlin fan but come on, let's have some one different reach the UCL this year)

 

[Super_horns]

Really not looking good for Hannover.

Hoffenheim showing some good form under their young coach though.
