The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 30/10/11

Borussia Dortmund and FC Koln go head to head on Saturday at the Signal Iduna Park in a game that the hosts are expected to comfortably win.

The Black and Yellows are second in the Bundesliga, just one point behind Bayern Munich and have won four of their last five league matches against Arminia Bielefeld (3-1), Mainz 05 (3-1), FC Augsburg (2-1) and against FC Union Berlin. Now, Marco Rose’s side have fired in 25 league goals and let in 15 in their opening nine games, amassing 21 points.

Meanwhile, FC Koln are eighth, having scored 15 and conceded 16 in their opening nine matches. They have just one win in their last five league matches, having been thumped by Hoffenheim 5-0, as well as registering a 1-1 draw against both RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. The other two games witnessed a 2-2 draw Bayer Leverkusen and a win 2-1 win over Greuther Furth.

The Betting Hub app has calculated that both teams have scored in 75% of this season’s fixtures that Dortmund and Koln have been involved in, with both sides averaging 3.6 goals per game between them.

This is expected to be a closely-fought contest between two very evenly matched sides, although Sunderland will be travelling to Yorkshire in good confidence having knocked out QPR to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Rotherham have won four of their last five League One fixtures, having beaten the likes of AFC Wimbledon (3-0), Cheltenham Town (2-0), as well as Portsmouth (4-1) and MK Dons (3-0) where Michael Ihiekwe, Dan Barlaser and Freddie Ladapo all got on the scoresheet in the latter at Stadium MK.

Meanwhile, the Black Cats have won three of their last five in England’s third-tier, following a 4-0 win against Crewe Alexandra, as well as 2-1 wins against Lincoln City and Gillingham. But, they have lost two matches in this run, as they were hammered 4-0 by Portsmouth at Fratton Park in early October, as well as narrowly being beaten 1-0 by Charlton Athletic last weekend.

Young Boys travel to St. Gallen in the Swiss Super League, with David Wagner’s side looking to narrow down the gap to top of the table FC Basel who are four points ahead having played 11 matches, one more than the Swiss champions.

St Gallen are second-bottom in the Swiss top-flight, having scored 15 goals but conceded 26 in 11, resulting in them winning just one of their last five games. This victory came against Servette 2-1, but after losing their other four in this run by two 2-0 scorelines against Luzern and Basel, as well as 5-2 to Grasshoppers and 2-1 to Young Boys, they have been leaking goals.

Young Boys have won three of their last four league games, including their victory over St Gallen, as they hammered Servette 6-0 in early October, before drawing 1-1 with Luzern and narrowly defeating Lausanne Sport 3-2 in their last outing.

These results mean that on the basis of this season, the both teams to score market has landed in 72.4% of each sides fixtures, with a combined average of 3.6 goals being scored in their matches.

PSV host FC Twente at Philips Stadion with Roger Schmidt’s side looking to bounce back from their humiliating 5-0 defeat against fierce rivals Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena last weekend.

PSV’s loss to Ajax means that they have lost their last two matches in all competitions, following a narrow 2-1 defeat in the Europa League to AS Monaco. Prior to these two defeats, PSV had beaten the likes of PEC Zwolle 3-1, Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 as well as Austrian Bundesliga outfit Sturm Graz 4-1.

On the other hand, FC Twente have scored in each of their last five matches in the Dutch Eredivisie, having defeated both AZ Alkmaar and SC Heerenveen by 3-1 and 3-2 scorelines in late September, respectively, as well as drawing with Groningen and Willem 1-1 and losing 2-1 last time out to NEC.

Over the course of each side’s last five matches, 90% of them have seen both teams score, with 80% of them seeing more than 2.5 goals being scored.

The final tip on this list comes from 2. Bundesliga where Werder Bremen go head to head with St. Pauli.

The hosts come into this game in 10th place on 15 points, whilst St. Pauli are at the top of the table, having accumulated 25 points from 11 matches.

Bremen are in poor form as their league positioning suggests, as they have won just one of their last five matches, doing so against Heidenheim by a 3-0 scoreline earlier this month. In this run of the matches, they have been beaten 2-0 by Hamburg, as well as 3-0 by both Dynamo Dresden and Darmstadt. Last time out, Bremen drew 2-2 against Sandhausen.

Title-chasing St. Pauli are in superb form, winning their last five games in 2. Bundesliga, having defeated Ingolstadt (4-1), as well as Karlsruher (3-1), Dynamo Dresden (3-0), Heidenheim (4-2) and Hansa Rostock (4-0) last time out, as former Hull City midfielder Jackson Irvine opened the scoring, before goals by Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Guido Burgstaller and Simon Makienok sealed all three points.
