Football – Germany – Bundesliga Betting Tips

Wolfsburg managed to achieve what many other clubs in the German Bundesliga have failed to do last weekend when they beat RB Leipzig away from home 1-0 which lifted today’s hosts away from immediate relegation danger.

That said, Wolfsburg will be extremely keen to make home advantage count at their Volkswagen Arena this afternoon when they take on bottom club Darmstadt as they still sit level on points with Hamburg who currently occupy the relegation play-off spot.

Wolfsburg will be in reasonably confident mood ahead of this clash after registering that vital win at Leipzig along with having won three of their last five on home turf with wins over Eintracht Frankfurt, Hamburg and fourth placed Hoffenheim. Striker Gomez (8 goals) is Wolfsburg’s leading goalscorer.

Visitors Darmstadt also registered a valuable three points last weekend when they recorded a 2-1 home win over Mainz but they still remain bottom of the German Bundesliga despite that win and now face a difficult trip to Wolfsburg who will have been buoyed by their win at Leipzig.

Incidentally, all four of Darmstadt’s league wins so far this season in the German top flight have been achieved at their Jonathan-Heimes-Stadion am Böllenfalltor ground, while away from home turf, they’ve really struggled to keep pace with the rest of the division; this is reflected in a terrible away record that reads 0-0-11 4/26.

It’s hard to remember a side that have been this bad in the Bundesliga, as Darmstadt have crashed to 11 straight defeats on their travels and have failed to score in 8 of their 11 matches on the road to date.

I’ll therefore back Wolfsburg to register back-to-back Bundesliga wins here today.
