The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 12/2/22

The first tip on this list comes from Bundesliga 2 where second-place St. Pauli travel to ninth in the table Jahn Regensburg.

Regensburg come into this game in poor form, having lost 2-1 in back to back games against Schalke 04 and Holstein Kiel, having previously beaten Sandhausen 3-0. Prior to their victory, they were also defeated 2-0 and 3-2 by Darmstadt and Werder Bremen.

On the other hand, St. Pauli have somewhat slowed down since their 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal, as they were beaten 2-1 by local rivals Hamburg, and could only draw 2-2 against Paderborn. In the run-up to their famous cup win over the Black and Yellows, they had been beaten 3-0 by Holstein Kiel and drew 2-2 against Erzgebirge Aue.

The second tip also comes from Germany, but, this time in the Bundesliga, as league leaders Bayern Munich takes on 11th place Bochum at Ruhrstadion.

Bochum will be desperate to put in a better display than that which saw them be thumped 7-0 at the Allianz Arena in late September and actually come into this match in decent form, having drawn 1-1 and 2-2 against Hertha Berlin and Koln, as well as beating Mainz 3-1 in the DFB Pokal, just three days after losing to them 1-0 in the league. Thomas Reis’ side also beat Wolfsburg 1-0 at the start of the aforementioned sequence of results.

Bayern, are 10 points clear of second-place Borussia Dortmund and it is clear to see why, as apart from their 2-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach in early January, they have scored three or more goals in every other fixture from their last five, hammering Wolfsburg and Koln by 4-0 scorelines, as well as thumping Hertha Berlin 4-1 and narrowly beating RB Leipzig 3-2 in their last outing.

In La Liga, sixth-place Villarreal go head to head with top of the table Real Madrid at Estadio de la Ceramica.

Unai Emery will be delighted to have seen his side record back to back league victories over Mallorca and Real Betis by 3-0 and 2-0 scorelines in their last two outings, having previously seen his side be knocked out of the Copa de Rey by Sporting Gijon 2-1, as well as drawing 2-2 with Atletico Madrid and losing 1-0 at Elche.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti will be desperate for his side to get on a good run of form, following some poor results of late, as having seen Real hammer Valencia 4-1 at home where Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior scored braces, Los Blancos beat Elche 2-1 after extra time in the Copa del Rey, but, drew 2-2 at home with them just three days later, before exiting the Spanish cup 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao. Real’s last match was a 1-0 home win over Granada in La Liga.

Vitesse and PSV Eindhoven go head to head on Saturday in a battle of sixth against second in the Dutch Eredivisie.

The home side come into this match having been beaten in both of their last two league matches 3-0 and 3-1 by both FC Twente and Groningen. Prior to these defeats, Vitesse had won back to back matches against Feyenoord and PEC Zwolle by 1-0 scorelines on top of a 2-2 draw with Sparta Rotterdam.

PSV are also on a two-game losing run in the league, as they were defeated 2-1 in back to back matches by AZ Alkmaar and Ajax, having won their previous three fixtures against Groningen 1-0, Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 and RKC Waalwijk 4-1.

Norwich City have the unenviable task of facing league leaders Manchester City at Carrow Road on Saturday night.

The Canaries form has picked up of late under Dean Smith, as they are unbeaten in their last four matches since their 2-0 defeat at West Ham in early January, having beaten Everton 2-1, Watford 3-0 and Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in the FA Cup. Norwich’s last match saw them draw 1-1 at home to Crystal Palace.

City are predictably in a good vein of form coming into this game, having thumped both Swindon Town and Fulham 4-1 in the FA Cup, as well s managing 1-0 and 2-0 victories against Chelsea and Brentford as well as drawing 1-1 with Southampton where they hit the woodwork three times.
