Bundesliga predictions
The German Bundesliga is one of the strongest national football championships.
This tournament has several distinct features.
Naturally, they can be applied to choosing bets.
Let's look at the distinctive features of German football in more detail.
The Germans play very fast football
The German national football team can be considered one of the most pragmatic teams in recent times.
However, the Bundesliga, like the lower divisions, is identified with fast and vibrant football.
There are, of course, particularly slow teams, but there are very few of them.
Even an acceptable result does not stop the team - in any other championship the leader can give up the initiative, but in Germany this is not accepted. It is quite possible that the culture of cheering has shaped the overall style of the league.
Even at matches of obvious outsiders of the championship, the stands are almost completely filled.
Due to the high pace, almost any championship match is rich in completely different events.
The Bundesliga is one of the most productive top leagues
It would be wrong to say that Germany has the highest average level of players. There are stronger championships, but the aforementioned feature of German football involves vertical football. It consists of quickly crossing the center of the field - playing a pass for the sake of this is very rare.
Fast football, which can often be compared to a “swing”, involves a large number of attacks. Accordingly, there are more scoring chances and goals themselves than in Spain. Statistics show this: in Germany they score on average almost 3.2 goals per match. This is the best result among top tournaments – the second-place Premier League is about 0.4 goals behind.
Secrets for playing the statistics markets in the Bundesliga
The high pace of the game is responsible for many game events and situations other than goals. Understanding the nature of the game taking place on the field, it is not difficult to predict what statistical indicators will be shown by the teams based on the results of the meetings.
A large number of corners in the German championship
A large number of attacks in the German championship entails a larger number of shots and crosses.
The teams, despite their high performance, do a very good job on defense.
And therefore they “cover” both blows and any aggravating passes.
In such a situation, it is logical to expect a large number of corners.
Betting on total shots on target
Continuing the development of the theme of high-speed football, we cannot help but say about shots on target.
The average number of shots on target is 10. If you screen Bundesliga matches correctly, you can bet on pairs where the number of shots on target is much higher.
Many offsides in the German championship
Vertical football involves a large number of regular throws to running attackers. In such situations, the opposing team's defensive line tries to artificially create an offside position.
Therefore, if there were very few of them in the first half of the match, and the game situation favors a quick game, it makes sense to consider a bet on the “over” of this game component.
Features of refereeing in the Bundesliga
German referees are known throughout the world. They are very highly qualified and do not overlook anything. Especially when video assistants came to the rescue. However, a distinctive feature, in addition to the high level, is rigor. Not a single referee in the German championship looks at a player's status - if he deserves a yellow card or a sending off, then it will be. In this regard, highlight 2 trends:
- In matches that have derby status, yellow cards are always possible. Both teams are especially tuned in to principled games, and together with the support of the fans, this translates into a lot of fight. Often it finds herself outside the rules. Which, of course, entails a lot of cards.
- When approximately equal teams from the middle or bottom of the standings play against each other, a large number of violations occur. Such teams “fall” into primitive football based on the “hit-and-run” principle. It brings aesthetic pleasure and sometimes good results, but rough fouls are its integral attribute.
Features of betting on German giants
Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig and Bayer are the flagships of German football. With some stretch, the players of Borussia Mönchengladbach can be called such.
When the giants of German football collide in head-to-head meetings, the match usually takes place in a very colorful manner.
And therefore the noise always encouraged the players to move forward. This eliminates the possibility of a clean sheet after a certain score, since the losing side has enough skill to come back. And for this reason, there are often extremely high-scoring matches in head-to-head matches of giants - sometimes 5 goals seem to be the absolute norm. And this is not an ordinary impression, but statistics: the leaders determine the winner solely due to their attacking potential. In view of this, betting on a total of more than 3.5 goals looks very promising in such a situation.
How to bet on German championship matches?
The German championship is one of the fastest and most spectacular football tournaments in Europe. All trends that can be used when betting are based on this feature:
- The Bundesliga is a very competitive tournament;
- The referees give out a lot of cards;
- Teams often shoot on goal;
- In a derby, as a rule, more than 3 goals are scored.
You should not rely on the above described without additional analysis of a separate match - here, as elsewhere, there are exceptions.
The above trends are rather the directions in which it is logical to think when choosing a bet on a match of the German championship.
