Bundesliga Betting: Muller to excel yet again in the Wolves' lair

They were far from their best in last weekend's 3-1 win over Darmstadt, but the predatory instincts of <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Thomas Muller</span> made the difference as he bagged a brace. The German international is having his best ever Bundesliga season - he has netted 17 league goals and set up five more, and he also scored the opener in the 2-2 draw at Juventus on Tuesday in the Champions League.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">His strike partner <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Robert Lewandowski</span> made history in the reverse fixture against Wolfsburg, scoring five goals in nine minutes, as Bayern roared back from a goal down to win 5-1. It was a<span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">mind-boggling display</span> that I don't think Wolfsburg have really recovered from. Indeed, when the teams met later in the season at the Volkswagen Arena, Bayern took Wolfsburg to the cleaners in the first half, playing them off the park in a 3-1 win. Muller scored twice in that game.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Wolfsburg won this fixture 4-1 last season, but they aren't the team they were then. Star man Kevin De Bruyne left to join Manchester City, and the Wolves don't have anywhere near the same attacking rhythm. They are four points off the top four, and a flu bug has ravaged the squad. Keeper and captain <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Diego Benaglio</span> is out with a back problem, and backup Koen Casteels is one of those chugging antibiotics in a bid to be fit. Right-back <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sebastian Jung</span> is out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I usually feel this is a game where Bayern might struggle, but not this time. Wolfsburg are low on confidence and struggling for fitness, and I just can't see them matching the champions. Bayern will score goals, and Muller could well be the man to provide them.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Recommended Bet</span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Thomas Muller to score at</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="1" oldtitle="1/1" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">2.00</span></span> (Sportsbook product)</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Stuttgart v Hannover</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Saturday February 27, 14:30</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Stuttgart have been truly transformed by coach <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Jurgen Kramny,</span> and how Hannover would love their new boss Thomas Schaaf to have had the same effect. While Kramny has led the Swabians to five wins and a draw from their last six games, Schaaf is looking for his first point as Hannover coach.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Bundesliga is well known for great acts of escapology at the wrong end of the table, but Hannover are in <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">serious trouble.</span> They have collected just 14 points from 22 games, and they are eight points adrift of safety. The first target is catching Werder Bremen, who are in the relegation playoff spot, six points ahead of H96.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hannover have scored just one goal in five games since Schaaf took charge, and they have conceded eight times in the same period. New signing <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hugo Almeida</span> scored on his debut against Darmstadt but hasn't netted since, and now he is banned for three matches after elbowing Augsburg's Dominik Kohr last weekend.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Stuttgart have every reason to believe they will make it four home wins in a row in the league. I though VfB would struggle in their last home game against Hertha, because they didn't have top scorer <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Daniel Didavi,</span> but they went on to win 2-0. Didavi is once again banned, but there should still be enough firepower to beat a modest Hannover side. Kramny has given the team structure, and the decision to bring back experienced defenders Georg Niedermeier and Daniel Schwaab was a masterstroke. Hannover are now praying for a few masterstrokes of their own.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Recommended Bet</span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Stuttgart -1.0 on the Asian Handicap at</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="2" oldtitle="20/21" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">1.94</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">FC Cologne v Hertha Berlin</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Friday February 26, 19:30</span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Live on BT Sport Europe</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This game brings together two sides who have stayed clear of relegation trouble because of good organisation and an iron-clad competitive spirit. Hertha are still third despite a run of four draws and a defeat, while Cologne are a healthy nine points clear of the bottom three. Hertha coach <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Pal Dardai</span> and his Cologne counterpart Peter Stoger deserve huge credit.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Neither of these sides like taking too many risks, and that could lead to a <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">cautious opening.</span>Four of Hertha's last five league outings have been level at the break, and that's been true in eight of Cologne's last 12 league games. In the reverse fixture, the scoresheet was blank for the first 43 minutes, and a couple more minutes would do us fine on Friday night.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Recommended Bet</span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Draw in the Half Time market at</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="3" oldtitle="11/10" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">2.08</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Mainz v Bayer Leverkusen</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sunday February 28, 16:30</span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Live on BT Sport</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">There were extraordinary scenes during Bayer Leverkusen's 1-0 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund last weekend. Bayer coach <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Roger Schmidt</span> took umbrage after BVB opened the scoring, and after a heated discussion with referee Felix Zwayer, Schmidt was sent to the stands. Schmidt refused to go, which incredibly prompted Zwayer to take the teams back to the dressing rooms for eight minutes.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Schmidt has now been given a fine and a <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">three-match touchline ban,</span> and the first of those matches he'll miss is a tricky trip to face Mainz.

Right now, Depor cannot claim to be any of those things.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Recommended Bet<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Both Teams to Score @</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="20" oldtitle="11/10" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">2.08</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Barcelona v Sevilla<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Sunday 19:30</span> (Live on Sky Sports 2)<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Barcelona</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="21" oldtitle="2/11" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">1.19</span>, Sevilla <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="22" oldtitle="16/1" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">17.50</span>, The Draw <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="23" oldtitle="8/1" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">8.80</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Back in October, Sevilla won the reverse fixture 2-1.

I've talked before in this column about the recent disparity between Frosinone's form at home and away.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">At home they're measured and seem to play with the confidence of a team that feels that they can control and win games. Away from home, Roberto Stellone's side seem to become haphazard and wayward and simply try to outscore the opposition.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And the statistics back this up: their last four home games have all gone Under 2.5 goals, with two of those finishing 0-0, while away from home things are completely different. In seven away games since the start of November, the fewest number of goals that a Frosinone match has featured has been three. <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Over 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 have all come into play.</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Given that eight of Samp's last nine Serie A games have gone Over 2.5, and three of those Over 4.5, the potential for goals here is huge.

That's what tends to lead to their low-scoring wins against the likes of Carpi and Lazio. When they're attacked, as they will be here, Maurizio Sarri's team is devastating on the counter, and the approach of Paolo Sousa's side will mean plenty of chances.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And there's so much quality on the field that it's hard not to see them being converted. You might worry about both teams' Europa League exits last Thursday and a potential drop in tempo, but this Monday night kick-off gives them both time to recuperate and I think they'll serve up a game to remember, and one that will hopefully keep Napoli's season alive.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.2s;">Over 2.5 Goals shouldn't be trading at odds-against at</span> <span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="16" oldtitle="11/10" style="background: rgb(255, 184, 12); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">2.14</span></span>, and so that's the logical selection.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; text-align: justify;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Recommended Bet<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Back Over 2.5 Goals in Fiorentina v Napoli @ </span></span><span class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="17" oldtitle="11/10" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffb80c; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 3px 2px 1px;" title="">2.14</span></span></div> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BFcX2xMT_p0/VtFSspwo8xI/AAAAAAAAFew/i3e4DBBS7XQ/s1600/53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="border: 0px; color: #004276; margin: 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BFcX2xMT_p0/VtFSspwo8xI/AAAAAAAAFew/i3e4DBBS7XQ/s400/53.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 600px; padding: 0px;" width="400" /></a></div> <div> <br /></div>
