Bundesliga soccer betting tips (19th-20th December)

Crunch Sports Staff - 18 Dec 2009

Bundesliga betting at Pinnacle Sports for week 17 sees the last set of fixtures before the Winter break.

Note: Bwin are streaming ALL Bundesliga games this weekend for free!

Any one of three teams – Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Bayern Munich – could go into the recess with the psychological boost of holding top spot. All three have comfortable looking home games, which you can bet at Pinnacle, with 1X2 Bundesliga odds priced to less than 103%.

Bundesliga Betting - Week 17 Schedule Highlights

Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga’s only remaining unbeaten side, sit just one point clear at the top of the table, a position they will be looking to maintain ahead of the Winter break, with three points at home to Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend. Leverkusen are known as the ‘Almost Champions’ having finished second three times from 1996-2002, coming excruciatingly close to success, only to fall short at the final hurdle.

These experiences will certainly be on the minds of both players and fans as the season progresses, and the six draws in the last eight fixtures will be cause a cause for alarm. Nevertheless, the league leaders are short favourites on Pinnacle’s Bundesliga odds, for Saturday’s game at the BayArena: Bayer Leverkusen 1.441*, Borussia Monchengladbach 8.950*, Draw 4.540* - a market priced to less than 103%.

Bayern Munich will look to continue a five game winning streak, in which they have scored 15 goals, when they host, Hertha Berlin on Saturday, the Bundesliga’s bottom side. Hertha have taken just one point on the road all season, so unsurprisingly are big outsiders on the 1X2 Bundesliga betting at Pinnacle Sports: Bayern Munich 1.190*, Hertha Berlin 16.550*, Draw 7.850* – priced to less than 103%.

The weekend’s Bundesliga action starts on Friday when Schalke host Mainz. The visitors are mid-table, but have won just once on the road this term from eight games, failing to score in five of those fixtures. Schalke will be boosted by a solid 2-0 win last weekend at fourth placed Werder Bremen, and Pinnacle Sports has them as favourites on their Bundesliga betting:Schalke 1.442*, Mainz 8.740*, Draw 4.510*.
