My bets all looked so good until the 85th minute
Hehe, I loved those last minutes, traders paradise, I just missed to lay Werder again after they scored the 2-1
Very nice result. We keep to see Werder in Bundesliga and Heidenheim can keep vulturing 2. Bundesliga with ugly football.
we have one more tonight, Nurnberg is playing Ingolstadt, with good chances to stay in 2. Bundesliga, it could be said that lower ranked teams from upper divisions are still better than best teams from lower divisions, but there is an experience in tough matches vector as well
For Bundesliga vs. 2. Bundesliga I would agree, but for 2. Bundesliga vs. Dritte Liga not - quality difference between the teams is not that big there. At the end of a season I would rate a good 3rd division better than a bottom 2nd division team. This also reflects in playoff results, where since its re-introduction 3rd division teams had the upper hand 8/11, so complete opposite.
Ingolstadt X2 is my bet for today, odds are already dropping. They have been one hell of an away team this season going 10-5-4 with 29-16 goals scored. Especially those only 16 conceded goals is a very nice stat, when we look at the home record of Nürnberg, which is pathetic with 3-7-7 and 15-31 goals scored.
Ingolstadt just played on Saturday and Nürnberg had a longer break (9 days), which could be some advantage in the latter stages. At least Ingolstadt didn't have long travels going to Munich and now to Nürnberg. Stefan Kutschke (13 goals), who left the 1860 game injured, will be available, which is good news.
I can imagine Nürnberg being happy with a scoreless draw here, because they are aware of their good away record and Ingolstadt's abysmal home record, so they could put their focus on the 2nd leg a bit, just trying to come unscathed out of 1st leg. While they probably would be happy with it, I don't think they will just sit back and wait for the 90 minutes to pass by, which should play in the hands of Ingolstadt then and I can even imagine them taking all "3 points" here. But this is something to figure out inplay then. Ingolstadt HC-1 for odds above 8.00 looks tempting though.
