<v Speaker0>Yeah. And first up, we've got Heidenheim, who are in 16th, taking on Lowly Bochum in 18th.

<v Speaker0>It's on Friday, the 2nd of May, 7.30 p.m. UK time. That is kickoff.

<v Speaker0>all you need is any funds in your account or to a place to bet with them in

<v Speaker0>the last 24 hours. sign up of course with the bonus code FP365.

<v Speaker0>Well Moose, Heidenheim after having a looking good and having a terrible three

<v Speaker0>in a row losses came up with the goods.

<v Speaker1>Yeah they won at Stuttgart that was a great win for Heidenheim in that game

<v Speaker1>and actually what it means is this game is going to be really really key game.

<v Speaker1>We've got three games left, Bochum kind of already down but the six points gap

<v Speaker1>between these two teams,

<v Speaker1>what it means is if Heidenheim picks up even just a point from this game,

<v Speaker1>then Bochum is finally down because Heidenheim is in that relegation playoff spot.

<v Speaker1>They've only got three points down to Holstein Kiel.

<v Speaker2>But yeah, a win against Bochum,

<v Speaker1>That will doom Bochum. Then Bochum is down and Heidenheim is looking good for that playoff spot.

<v Speaker1>They can still catch Hoffenheim, five points off Hoffenheim.

<v Speaker1>So this is a great opportunity.

<v Speaker1>And surely that win last weekend at Stuttgart will have given them some confidence

<v Speaker1>going into this one against a Bochum team that really is pretty much have surrendered

<v Speaker1>their Bundesliga life, so to speak.

<v Speaker1>No wins in six but they did pull

<v Speaker1>off a draw last week at home to Union Berlin but

<v Speaker1>yeah no wins in six and it's been

<v Speaker1>quite a disappointing season for

<v Speaker1>Bochum only four wins all season going to Heidenheim it's not going to be easy

<v Speaker1>ironically Bochum has one win away from home all season and that was at Bayern

<v Speaker1>Munich I mean what a win that was down 2-0 and beating them 3-2 Bayern Munich

<v Speaker1>has just two defeats all season but then in the last two away matches

<v Speaker1>Where Bochum went to Leverkusen lost 3-1 we

<v Speaker1>had that bang on and it's a correct score we had

<v Speaker1>3-1 that game and then we went to Werder Bremen

<v Speaker1>in the last away game lost 1-0 we had

<v Speaker1>Werder Bremen to win that game we did have under

<v Speaker1>two and a half goals last week in the game against Union

<v Speaker1>Berlin we knew it was going to be a low

<v Speaker1>scoring game under two and a half goals it ended

<v Speaker1>1-1 if we just cap off with Heidenheim

<v Speaker1>home team now their home form hasn't been brilliant exactly either this season

<v Speaker1>they have picked up three wins most recently they beat Holstein Kiel but then

<v Speaker1>they've lost two matches in between Kiel and then this Bochum game which was

<v Speaker1>against Leverkusen and Bayern Munich so some really tricky home games there

<v Speaker2>And yeah, I guess as you said,

<v Speaker1>They have three defeats in a row, but it was against Leverkusen,

<v Speaker1>Frankfurt and Bayern Munich, the top three of the Bundesliga before that win at Stuttgart.

<v Speaker1>So they might be forgiven for having lost those three, because on the other

<v Speaker1>side of that little run of games, they beat Wolfsburg away and Helsinki at home.

<v Speaker1>So I think overall, Heidenheim looks fairly good here compared to Bochum.

<v Speaker0>Yeah, it's looking in that way for sure. But, you know, something a little bit

<v Speaker0>mindful that people should be is that Hainam haven't actually won against Bochum

<v Speaker0>in their last eight league matches.

<v Speaker0>So they have a terrible record against them. But, you know, all good things

<v Speaker0>must come to an end, mustn't they?

<v Speaker0>So leading into this, we think it could be a bit of a slugfest because obviously

<v Speaker0>both teams really, really want to win and could be quite open.

<v Speaker0>As in, I guess they both don't want to lose, but they both really do want to win.

<v Speaker0>So they'll be trying to do that. and both teams to score is what we've picked

<v Speaker0>for this one 1.62 are the odds you can get for that but we do think it will

<v Speaker0>be a heidenheim win in the end 2.3 are the odds you can get at the moment,

<v Speaker0>and looking at the correct score we've gone for 2-1 to the home side and that

<v Speaker0>those odds are 9.5 so it's pretty good actually for that we've got the other

<v Speaker0>odds for you here but the away team if You thought they could win. You can get odds of 3.1.

<v Speaker0>Like I said, hire time, 2.3. And a draw, 3.4. So it's all very close.

<v Speaker0>Could go either way, couldn't it?

<v Speaker0>But we have pinned our hopes on a home win. Next up, we have RB Leipzig.

<v Speaker2>Who are in fifth,

<v Speaker0>Taking on Bayern Munich in first. It's on Saturday, the 3rd of May,

<v Speaker0>2.30 in the afternoon, UK time.

<v Speaker0>Look at the link in the description of all this podcast, and you'll be able

<v Speaker0>to find the localized kickoff time and all the odds and streaming channels for the game.

<v Speaker0>This one you can watch on sky sports mix in the uk but it's

<v Speaker0>also available to stream live on bet 365 to qualify for that all you need is

<v Speaker0>any funds in your account or just to have placed a bet with them in the last

<v Speaker0>24 hours and when you join them use that bonus code fp365 so yes not been looking

<v Speaker0>great the last couple matches for leipzig but by munich have sprung back to life haven't they yeah.

<v Speaker1>They have two wins in a row

<v Speaker1>And to be honest, they have not been beaten now for the last six games in the Bundesliga.

<v Speaker1>And to be honest, only two defeats all season for Bayern Munich.

<v Speaker1>So we should probably have a look at how convincing they've been in the last

<v Speaker1>couple of games where they beat Heidenheim 4-0 away and most recently Mainz

<v Speaker1>3-0 at home. We had that when we had 3-1.

<v Speaker1>We thought Mainz were going to score a goal, but it ended 3-0 to Bayern Munich.

<v Speaker1>We also picked them as winners away to Heidenheim. Of course,

<v Speaker1>Bayern Munich have the disappointment of being knocked out of the Champions

<v Speaker1>League to Inter Milan in between.

<v Speaker1>But this weekend, just a point will be enough really for Bayern to win the championship.

<v Speaker1>They have a 30 plus difference in goal difference by Leverkusen.

<v Speaker1>And with just three games left, it's probably unrealistic that Leverkusen do that.

<v Speaker1>But I'm sure Bayern would want to win this in style and actually win at Leipzig.

<v Speaker1>Because like you said, Gelsi, Leipzig has not been that convincing this year, actually.

<v Speaker1>Because if we look at Leipzig, since they came back from that winter break,

<v Speaker1>Leipzig has only won five games.

<v Speaker1>And that's not enough if you want to finish in the Champions League spots.

<v Speaker1>They are just two points off Freiburg in fifth position, or Freiburg in fourth,

<v Speaker1>sorry, who sits on 51 points.

<v Speaker1>Leipzig in fifth with 49 points and

<v Speaker1>they have a better goal difference Leipzig so there's still hope for

<v Speaker1>them but they're going into this game now against Bayern

<v Speaker1>Munich and they then have Werder Bremen away

<v Speaker1>and Stuttgart at home so a fairly tricky schedule coming up but yeah and against

<v Speaker1>Bayern they'll be looking to sealing that championship this weekend like if

<v Speaker1>we but if we look at Leipzig I mean last weekend the 4-0 defeat at Frankfurt

<v Speaker1>Frankfurt sitting obviously above them in the table.

<v Speaker1>They're sitting in third and that pretty much sealed Frankfurt's spot in the

<v Speaker1>Champions League for next season.

<v Speaker1>So they'll be happy with that. From a Leipzig perspective, they then had a disappointing

<v Speaker1>draw in the last home game against Holstein Kiel.

<v Speaker1>That ended 1-1, but then they had a couple of wins against Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim

<v Speaker1>and then defeat in the DFB-Pokal against Stuttgart and in the Bundesliga against Gladbach.

<v Speaker1>So yeah, overall Bayern Munich obviously been very consistent this season in

<v Speaker1>the Bundesliga, looking to win the championship this weekend and do we think they will do that?

<v Speaker0>Well, Bayern Munich are undefeated in the last seven matches away from home

<v Speaker0>and you think they'd be able to come away with at least a point from this which

<v Speaker0>could give them what they need.

<v Speaker0>I think they'll obviously be wanting to go for all three points but yeah,

<v Speaker0>we think it'll be a really good game. Bayern Munich obviously be desperate for it.

<v Speaker0>We're tipping them to win. 1.65 is the odds you can get for them and we also

<v Speaker0>think it's going to be both teams to score, you can't get as good odds for that

<v Speaker0>actually you can only get 1.4, so the bookies think that both teams will score by the looks of it,

<v Speaker0>We've gone for a correct score, actually, like a couple of goal win to the away

<v Speaker0>side. So we think it's going to be Leipzig 1, Munich 3.

<v Speaker0>And the odds for that correct score are 12.

<v Speaker0>So 11 to 1 is what you can get for that, which is pretty good.

<v Speaker0>The odds for a home win for Leipzig, 4.5 and a draw, 4.33.

<v Speaker0>So really, Bayern Munich are odds on to win this at 1.65. And we hope for them

<v Speaker0>and for Harry Kane picking up his first trophy of his career will be a great moment.

<v Speaker0>Anyway, let's move on to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are in ninth,

<v Speaker0>taking on Hoffenheim, who are 15th.

<v Speaker0>It's on Saturday the 3rd of May, 2.30 in the afternoon in the UK.

<v Speaker0>And this one, you can stream on Bet365, of course.

<v Speaker0>To qualify for that, all you need is funds in your account or to place the bet in the last 24 hours.

<v Speaker0>When you join, use the bonus code FP365. Now, it's not been looking very good

<v Speaker0>for either of these sides of late, has it?

<v Speaker1>No, very inconsistent form shown by both sides.

<v Speaker1>Hoffenheim actually still really need the points at the bottom of the Bundesliga.

<v Speaker1>They are just five points above Heidenheim on that relegation playoff.

<v Speaker1>They do have a better goal difference, but they still may need a few points

<v Speaker1>because, like we said, Heidenheim does have that game against Bukum this weekend.

<v Speaker1>If they win that and Hoffenheim loses this, there's

<v Speaker1>only a two-point difference with two games to

<v Speaker1>go so that's that's very key for

<v Speaker1>them to to get something potentially to to avoid dropping into that relegation

<v Speaker1>spot but yeah for Borussia Mönchengladbach the season's pretty much over there

<v Speaker1>is still a slight chance that they could finish in the in the European places

<v Speaker1>but with their form at the moment it looks very unlikely that

<v Speaker1>Borussia Mönchengladbach has lost the last three games despite scoring six goals.

<v Speaker1>He's managed to lose all three of the last games last time out.

<v Speaker1>An away game to Holstein Kiel ended 4-3 to Holstein Kiel.

<v Speaker1>We had both teams to score as our main prediction for that one.

<v Speaker1>And I think that was a fairly accurate prediction considering the amount of

<v Speaker1>goals that we had in that game. We also had both teams to score when Gladbach

<v Speaker1>went to Dortmund and lost 3-2.

<v Speaker1>Before that, they had Freiburg at home. They lost 2-1 that game.

<v Speaker1>We predicted the draw at St.

<v Speaker1>Pauli for when Gladbach went there to pick up a point.

<v Speaker1>And the last win was end of March. It was against Leipzig, a 1-0 win at home.

<v Speaker1>So there, the last win was a home game. And to be honest, at the beginning of

<v Speaker1>the season, Gladbach looked like picking up quite a few points at home.

<v Speaker1>But more recently, they lost three of the last four. And the only win was against

<v Speaker1>that game against Leipzig.

<v Speaker1>If we look at Hoffenheim, and especially away from home this season,

<v Speaker1>yeah, they picked up three wins, but they have now three defeats in a row at

<v Speaker1>São Paulo, Leipzig and Freiburg last time out.

<v Speaker1>Their most recent game was a home defeat to Dortmund, where our prediction was

<v Speaker1>both teams to score and a Dortmund win. So we were correct in that one.

<v Speaker1>We had the outcome when they lost at Freiburg prior to that Dortmund game.

<v Speaker1>But overall, two very inconsistent teams. This is not an easy game to predict.

<v Speaker0>No, it isn't. So you could expect the unpredictable, perhaps.

<v Speaker0>Punch and Gladbach have been on a bit of a shocking run, haven't they?

<v Speaker2>You know, we think they did in that last game,

<v Speaker0>They lost 4-3, but they still scored three goals. And they have been scoring

<v Speaker0>goals. They've scored, what, 12 in the last six.

<v Speaker0>So they're capable of it. And, you know, Hoffenheim are kind of bowing out now.

<v Speaker0>They're kind of on a bit of a downward slide, aren't they? We can't see them

<v Speaker0>getting anything from this game. We think it might be a bit of a one-way traffic.

<v Speaker0>So we've gone for, in this one, we've gone for an over 2.5 goals tip.

<v Speaker0>So they're 1.44 and we think it'll be a gladback landslide.

<v Speaker0>We've gone for them to win by a big margin. For them to win,

<v Speaker0>you can get 2.05, which is pretty good in terms of value. But we think it's going to be 3-0.

<v Speaker0>I know it's a bold one. If it comes off though, you can pick up odds of 21 for that correct score.

<v Speaker0>So 20 to 1 to get a 3-0 win to the home side.

<v Speaker0>We hope that comes true and that make everybody happy.

<v Speaker0>Next up, we've got, oh, let's have a quickly look at the odds for all the teams, both the teams.

<v Speaker0>2.05 for the win, the home win, 4 for a draw, and 3.2 for the away win, if that could happen.

<v Speaker0>Next up, we have Union Berlin in 13th, take on Werder Bremen in 8th.

<v Speaker0>And it kicks off on Saturday, the 3rd of May at 2.30 in the afternoon.

<v Speaker0>And of course, click the link in the description of this podcast.

<v Speaker0>You better find your local kickoff time odds and available viewing options.

<v Speaker0>This one you can stream on Bet365.

<v Speaker0>To qualify for that, all you need is any funds in your account or to a place to bet with them.

<v Speaker0>In the last 24 hours, you can sign up using the bonus code FP365, of course.

<v Speaker0>Well, this is like a very interesting run, isn't it? Union Berlin have drawn their last three.

<v Speaker0>And Werder Bremen drew the last one.

<v Speaker1>Yes, but prior to that, Werder Bremen had actually won five of the last six.

<v Speaker1>And what it means is they're only two points from the European places here.

<v Speaker1>So they have two points up to Dortmund in sixth.

<v Speaker1>They have three points to Leipzig in fifth. So they're very much on here for a good shout of Europe.

<v Speaker1>They're going to go to Union Berlin. It's a team who actually haven't got that

<v Speaker1>much to play for. If anything, they have sort of been cementing their place

<v Speaker1>in the Bundesliga for next season with their little run of seven games unbeaten.

<v Speaker1>So this is, again, it's a tricky game. These are two informed teams that are meeting here.

<v Speaker1>Union Berlin has been very hard to beat over the last seven.

<v Speaker1>And they have played some decent opponents because over those last seven games,

<v Speaker1>they have played the top three. They won at Frankfurt and then they drew at

<v Speaker1>home to Bayern Munich and they drew away to Bayer Leverkusen.

<v Speaker1>So that's very important to note the teams that has actually been in this little

<v Speaker1>run that only in Berlin is on. But yeah, three doors in a row now.

<v Speaker1>Last time out, we had under two and a half goals as our main prediction when

<v Speaker1>they went to Bochum and got a draw.

<v Speaker1>And prior to that, their last home game ended in a crazy 4-4 game.

<v Speaker1>And not only that, all eight goals were scored in the first half of that game as well.

<v Speaker1>So just to add a little bit of spice to that result.

<v Speaker1>If we look at Werder Bremen, like we said, unbeaten in five,

<v Speaker1>five wins from the last seven now.

<v Speaker1>They only have one defeat in there, which was home to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

<v Speaker1>Away from home, they won the last three in a row.

<v Speaker1>They won at Stuttgart, they won at

<v Speaker1>Holstein Kiel. And then they had a very impressive away win by Leverkusen.

<v Speaker1>And Leverkusen only lost two games all season and one of those with that Werder

<v Speaker1>Bremen home game where Werder Bremen went there and beat them 2-0.

<v Speaker1>Now, as for our predictions today,

<v Speaker1>We've had, out of the last five matches, we've had three outcomes on Werder Bremen.

<v Speaker1>So we've been looking fairly good on the prediction side, actually,

<v Speaker1>in terms of both teams here, also on the goals market.

<v Speaker1>So we might be onto something when we are predicting this one.

<v Speaker0>Yeah, I mean, Werder Bremen have hit the back of the net 10 times in the last six games.

<v Speaker0>Union Berlin have scored nine, so they can score goals. So it's an average of

<v Speaker0>about one and a half goals a game. But obviously in the last one,

<v Speaker0>Werder Bremen didn't score.

<v Speaker0>So we think it's probably time that they would on the law of averages.

<v Speaker0>And of course, Union Berlin, similarly, they only not scored in one of the last six.

<v Speaker0>So we think both teams will score in this one. So we've gone for that.

<v Speaker0>Both teams score odds of 1.67. But we think it's going to be close.

<v Speaker0>We know that Union Berlin, they're happy.

<v Speaker1>To give the

<v Speaker0>Opponents possession. I think they only had 34% possession in their last game.

<v Speaker0>But we've gone for a draw because we can't separate them.

<v Speaker0>Odds, they're very good at 3.6. So see if you can get onto that.

<v Speaker0>For the correct score, we've gone for 1-1. The correct score odds of 1-1 you

<v Speaker0>can get at the moment are 7. So not that great for a correct score.

<v Speaker0>But that probably indicates the bookies think it's likely as well.

<v Speaker0>Give you the odds for all of them. This is how tight it is. 2.63 for Union Berlin,

<v Speaker0>3.6 for the draw, and 2.45 for the away side in Werder Bremen.

<v Speaker0>So they're slight favorites, very slight favorites for Werder Bremen to win,

<v Speaker0>but basically it's going to be tight whatever happens.

<v Speaker0>We shall see. So let's move on to a summary game. St. Pauli in the 14th,

<v Speaker0>taking in Stuttgart, who are 11th.

<v Speaker0>And it's on Saturday the 3rd of May, 2.30 in the afternoon UK time.

<v Speaker0>We think it'll be an under 2.5 goals game. And we've gone for no goals.

<v Speaker0>And probably nil, Stuttgart nil.

<v Speaker1>Yeah, moving on to Dortmund in 6th, who takes on Wolfsburg in 12th.

<v Speaker1>Yep, and moving on to another Sunday game here.
