Three games down in the new Bundesliga season and the league has a familiar look to it. Dortmund, rejuvenated by the appointment of Thomas Tuchel, as well as relentless defending champions Bayern Munich are sitting pretty at the top of the tree with 100% records. Last term’s runners-up Wolfsburg are just one position behind the two early front-runners.
All three pacesetters are expected to bag maximum points on week four despite the interruption of the international break. But Sunday’s contest between Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen looks the best bet for goals in the Bundesliga this weekend with two attack-minded sides on show.
188BET have made Over 3 Goals a 1.96 play and that’s most definitely a price that appeals. With this selection, we’ll get our stake back should only three goals be netted. But if four or more goals are plundered at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena, we’ll be in profit.
Hoffe were handed a tough opening pair of fixtures – away to Leverkusen and home to Bayern – before visiting Darmstadt last time out. Markus Gisdol’s men have a point on the board but competed well in their opening games and will fancy their chances when returning home.
And since Gisdol took charge at Hoffenheim, the hosts have been awash in goals at the Rhein-Neckar. A huge 29/38 (76%) of matches have featured three goals or more with 17/38 (45%) also clearing the Over 3.5 Goals barrier. Hoff have only failed to net themselves on three occasions with just eight clean sheets kept.
Werder Bremen have improved with each passing game and their 2-1 victory over Gladbach before the international break was overdue. Since being handed the reigns midway through last season, Viktor Skrypnyk has transformed the River Islanders into a much more menacing outfit and that’s shown in their penchant for high-scoring games.
Bremen have rewarded Over 2.5 Goals backers in 7/13 (54%) of road trips and featured four or more goals in five of those 13 outings on their travels. Skrypnyk’s side have managed just one shutout but also found the back of the net in 12 encounters so the trends are well in our favour for another high-scoring contest on Sunday.
Elsewhere, it may pay to follow the goals on Saturday when Hertha Berlin host Stuttgart. Both Teams To Score is a 1.73 shot and makes plenty of appeal when looking at the two teams’ early fixtures.
Hertha were outclassed at Dortmund last time out but have netted in all three Bundesliga games already this season. In fact, two of their three matches have banked in the BTTS column and Pal Dardai’s troops haven’t looked as compact and solid as we’ve come to expect.
Meanwhile, new Stuttgart head coach Alexander Zorniger preaches an all-out attacking style and the Swabians have been desperately unlucky to be pointless after their first three outings under his watch. What’s been most eye-catching though, is the amount of goals in the Reds’ matches.
All three have proven profitable for Both Teams To Score punters as well as Over 2.5 Goals fans with a total of 14 goals seen – that’s an average of almost five goals-per-game. And Stuttgart’s away record since the start of last season also suggests goals will be on the agenda – 13/18 (72%) featured Both Teams To Score.
