NURNBERG V BAYER LEVERKUSEN BETTING TIPS

Nurnberg are safe from relegation and seem to have taken their foot off the gas a little too soon. Leverkusen can confirm 3rd place with a win here and book their place in the Champions League next season.

Nurnberg have really let their performances slip in recent weeks losing 3 games in a row. They could have been pushing for a top half finish at least and are only 7 points off a Europa League spot even after their poor run. They’ll have to settle for a bottom half finish unless they improve dramatically over the last 3 matches.

Leverkusen have pulled clear of the chasing pack for 3rd place in the Bundesliga behind the big two. They have a 7 point lead over Schalke so a win here would confirm it and the direct entry spot in the Champions League next year which is all important. With 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 games they have stepped up when it mattered and fully deserve their place this year.

Nurnberg have Per Nilsson suspended here and will be missing Timm Klose and Timo Gebhart amongst others from injury. Leverkusen are just about at full strength with just a few squad players out with injury.

I expect Leverkusen to not rest until 3rd place is fully confirmed so we will see a full strength team from them and a top performance. Nurnberg have been well off form lately and it’ll be tough for them to regain their confidence with just 3 matches left.

I’ll be backing a Leverkusen win at 1.91 with Coral.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND V BAYERN MUNICH BETTING TIPS

A dress rehearsal for the Champions League final sees the top two teams in Germany (and Europe) take the field again this season for another battle. Munich have come out on top so far but can Dortmund turn things around this late in the season and capture the big prize?

Dortmund came through a scare against Real Madrid in midweek to get through to the Champions League final in London. They had plenty of chances to kill off the game but two late goals from Madrid had the tie on a knife-edge but Dortmund hung on to go through 4-3 on aggregate.

Bayern had no such scare against Barcelona in their second leg and again dominated the Catalan’s. They controlled the game and comfortably ran out 3-0 winners to give them an astonishing 7-0 aggregate win.

I’m not sure how serious each team will take this match, they may not want to tip their had ahead of the final on May 25th. Dortmund will be missing Lukasz Piszczek through injury and may choose to rest a few other players. Bayern have Kroos out for the season and have plenty of strength in depth so I’d expect a number of changes to their side from midweek.

Regardless of the 22 players on the pitch, we know when they are out there they will give it their all so this is still a must watch match albeit one that just builds us up for the big final at the end of the month.

I’ll be backing the Draw here which is available at 3.40 with bet365.
