D1 - Football - Germany - Bundesliga

Two teams in crisis meet on Saturday in Wolfsburg, both are desperate for points, and while hosts seem to be strong favorites to break their winless streak, I believe that an over bet is much safer choice here.

Wolfsburg lost another away game without scoring a single goal, this time in Gelsenkirchen, so we may expect very aggressive approach from them on Saturday. They are without win in 2005. , crisis is deepening, fans are angry, so team simply must perform on Saturday and be sure they will go all out in attack from the very start. Very important offensive midfielders Petrov and D’Alessandro are getting back to the starting line up and that makes me even more confident about this bet.

Rostock is rock bottom, with just 13 points collected so far, but they will not give up fighting. They have bought some quality players and I think they will improve eventually. One thing is certain – they cannot calculate, they simply have to go for victory in every single game they have, and therefore we can expect offensively minded Hansa. They will miss strikers Allback and Prica, but those two haven’t impressed this season, while players like Litmanen and Di Salvo promise that we will see open game from Rostock. Hansa terminated contract with defensive midfielder Tjikuzu because of drinking accident and his missing will go in favor of this bet.

The only reason why I will not take this one with high stakes is that Wolfsburg coach Gerets had some misunderstandings with some of his players, especially captain Schnoor, so the team atmosphere probably isn’t great. Still, I have no doubts about strong offensive game from both teams and this looks like good bet.
