⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Bundesliga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024

@all participants sportsbet.io sponsors 5x 20USDT free bets due to the top match dortmund vs. bayern. these 5 free bets will be credited on the next monday to the 5 participants who score the 5 highest points (after the matchday winner). if there are participants who have the same number of points, first the 4-pt matches, then the 3-pt matches and finally the 2-pt matches will be evaluated.

example: player a and player b both reach 14 points. player a has 3 correct results and player b only 2, then player a is the winner.

Great news! Thank you! By the way, I think it will be quite difficult to get into the top 5 since it coincided, but in this round almost all the pairs are very even and the result will be as random as possible. The only bets that look reliable are Leipzig and Bayer, but even here there is a catch since these are away games, plus will Bayer really remain unbeaten for that long?

And just as you mentioned RB Leipzig, I did not think they would lose their game against Wolfsburg although that is still a loss that is not unthinkable, but what about the draw they had against Bochum when they played at home? I think there is always some variance and given the problems Bayern is having as we speak, I am seriously considering whether this is the one moment when it makes sense to bet against them, or at least against them to win the game. A draw is quite possible as they have to deal with a lot of pressure against Dortmund. Finally a very exciting game to watch in the Bundesliga.

My picks in. I went boring =) England, Spain, Italy largely avoided upsets in their cups but we saw a number fall in Germany huh.

✂
last home win in Bundesliga for Dortmund was in 2018, and in Munich it was in 2014, with Lewa still playing for Dortmund
odds on Bavarians are too good to be true, with this statistics in mind, but it could always turn out wrong, statistically it has to

especially since yesterday bayern surprisingly lost 1-2 against third division team 1. fc saarbrücken in the dfb pokal and also lost its defender Matthijs de Ligt (with a serious knee injury).
imo this increases dortmund's chances of a home win enormously and threatens further unrest in munich.

Or, it galvanises Bayern into ensuring they don't lose back-to-back games. They rested plenty of ket players, too in their loss last night, so while it in no way excuses their loss, it's all the more reason to believe they'll be too strong and too motivated for BVB. I've withdrawn my intentions, pending odds update, but yeah, last night's results make me doubt the upset now. Maybe if Sportsbet trumps the odds to 5/1 eh?

maybe some of you should change your picks for the mainz vs. leipzig game, because tonight fsv mainz sacked its coach Bo Svensson. the club has been waiting almost half a year for a win in the bundesliga (the last one came at the end of april against munich, where they beat bayern 3-1). in addition, they were eliminated from the dfb cup yesterday, where they lost 0-3 to 2nd league team hertha bsc berlin
sometimes sackings unleash completely new powers in the players...

Or maybe you are just saying that to get an advantage since Leipzig is a good team in good form and Mainz has been really bad so far. Mind games however I read it 

I don't know if it is Bundesliga or Kicktipp app, but this pool is definitely the one with smallest margins up top. I feel like some of us have to fall off every week (probably me) but then again when I look at the table it is all inside couple of points. This time three of us with same points even.

in fact, it's very close in our bl pool. the best 'german' participant with Spray. is in 9th place, which is also very interesting, because you would think that the germans follow the bl very closely on a daily/weekly basis and have the various news from the bundesliga clubs
nonetheless, i'm very pleased that you're having a lot of fun here and that so far all the participants are taking part and no one has yet given up

[casperBGD]

took a late change for Bochum to win tonight
was on 1:1, but had to go with Bochum to win first time this season, after they sold me last Friday, with a late goal by Mainz, that happened not to be important for Bo to keep his job

after two away wins in 2nd league tonight, I doubted should I make change for another away win in Bundesliga, but in the end, Bochum it is
hope it will be good choice

i said it, or rather i suspected it, but unfortunately i didn't have the balls to bet on a mainz win (2-0) against leipzig - only jayce had the courage and scored 2 points in the game.
union berlin continue to lose - it's now the 12th defeat in a row...
and soon the showdown in dortmund begins...!

Union Berlin will soon sack their coach I think as this is looking really bad and they are not on their way to see any improvements soon. This game was brutal because Frankfurt had about as many shots on target as they scored goals, but it is still a kind of summary of what was happening with Union Berlin since the beginning of the season.

Picking Mainz to win against Leipzig was again one of those moves that nobody would dare, but good job @jayce and @mole0815 in the German pool, not bad!

Bayern Munich is steamrolling Dortmund...

Not much of showdown from Dortmund side in the end. Seems like easiest money yesterday for those that went with simple Bayern victory. Don't know how I managed to not send my prediction for this game. Not the end of the world since I would have gotten only 2 pointer but even those 2 points would mean a lot in table that is this close.

Thanks cygan!

Well, after embarrassing weeks for me, finally I got the highest point! Favoring Mainz to win and hitting 3-3 in Freiburg vs Gladbach really played the biggest part. I was also hoping Leverkusen to get their first defeat but that one didn't work lol.

thanks man
it was a second good round in a row, and that proped me close to the top, now it is the time to push forward or blow it up

both games yesterday finished as a surprise, Stuttgart may be back to usual form, losing away matches, while Bremen took important point in WV town

as this time the match between dortmund and bayern was a top game, sportsbet.io has negotiated this extra bonus of 5x 20USDT free bets for you together with me

Well done to the lot of you, enjoy the freebets. Disappointment in Der Klassiker and perhaps a sign of long-term deterioration but at least with Leipzig and Leverkusen this season we can tear up the old script of Bundesliga relying on Dortmund alone to stop Bayern.

cygan you must be really pleased/annoyed with Werder! But what a horrible state I lie in now, 15 points off the summit.

~snip

Leverkusen plays as they can fight Bayern this season, but they are already known that they will lent down during the season
Leipzig already shows signs they can't winning week after week, and losing to Mainz is really disappointing

so, new title for Bayern is what it is expected, hopefully Leverkusen will prove me wrong, can't help not to remember Ballack generation looking at them now, but title is always too much to ask

werder had a good away game in wolfsburg and also scored their first points away from home this season. i'm happy with the result. now it's home against frankfurt on sunday - that will be a lot harder, but svw is playing at home

and what can i say about the 108 points i have scored so far...

Yes but I think what seems to be different this time is their steadiness and unity. The team is impressively well balanced and I think the only threat for them to experience a sustained downturn would be injuries. If they stay together like that and they are lucky enough to retain the core players in a healthy state, I believe that Leverkusen can stand up to Bayern for a long time. The problem is the difference in quality sitting on the bench. Bayern can compensate for injuries and suspensions on the highest level while Leverkusen cannot. At least not on the same level as Bayern.

Leverkusen also doesn't have a lot of luck, the wins are based on their performances and not on some lucky bastard 30 meter shots hitting the angle. That's when they can have a few good results and then luck fades and points along with it, but this doesn't apply to Leverkusen. It is exciting and hopefully we will have some title action until the end of the season.
