The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 14/1/22

On Friday night in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund host Freiburg in a battle of second against fourth in the standings.

Dortmund come into this match having won three of their last five matches across all competitions, starting with the 5-0 hammering of Besiktas in the Champions League, before drawing 1-1 away at Bochum, beating Greuther Furth 3-0, losing 3-2 at Hertha Berlin and earning a vital 3-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Freiburg have also been in an inconsistent run of form of late, as following their 4-0 hammering of Borussia Monchengladbach in early December, they went on to lose 2-1 to Hoffenheim, as well as being held to a 0-0 draw by Union Berlin. Christian Streich’s side bounced back with a 2-1 home win against Bayer Leverkusen, but could only manage a 2-2 draw at Arminia Bielefeld last weekend.

The next tip also comes from Germany, but, this time from Bundesliga 2 as 11th in the table, Dynamo Dresden take on third-place Hamburg.

Dresden have started life poorly following the winter break, as they were thumped 3-0 by bottom of the table Ingolstadt last time out. Prior to that defeat, they managed to beat Erzgebirge Aue 1-0 and Karlsruher 3-1. In this sequence of results, Dresden have also lost 3-1 to Jahn Regensburg and managed to beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 1-0.

Hamburg’s last match was back on 18th December when they drew 1-1 with Schalke, prior to this, they had beaten Hansa Rostock 3-0, lost 1-0 to Hannover 96 and managed thumping 3-0 and 4-1 victories over Ingolstadt and Jahn Regensburg.

Nice and Nantes go head to head on Friday night in a match between second and ninth in Ligue 1, with the home side being seven points better off than their opponents, but, trailing PSG by a significant margin of 11.

Nice have won two of their last three matches against Nantes with both teams scoring, with their victory back in early September being an anomaly, as Christophe Galtier’s side won 2-0 thanks to goals by Kasper Dolberg and Amine Gouiri.

In the run-up to this match, Nice have won their last four fixtures, defeating both Rennes and Lens 2-1, on either side of a 1-0 win in the Coupe de France against Cholet, before hammering Brest 3-0 last time out.

Nantes are also in decent form, having beat Lens 3-2, Saint-Etienne 1-0 and managing a 0-0 draw against AS Monaco in their last three Ligue 1 fixtures, whilst also advancing through to the Round of 16 in the French Cup, following a penalty shootout win against Sochaux, as well as a 2-0 victory over Vitre.

Brighton & Hove Albion host Crystal Palace at the Amex Stadium on Friday night in the M23 derby.

Graham Potter’s men are currently ninth in the Premier League standings, whilst Patrick Vieira’s side are 12th with 23 points, four less than their opponents having played one more match.

The Seagulls are in an impressive run of form of late, having beat Brentford 2-0, before managing a 1-1 draw away at Stamford Bridge thanks to a late Danny Welbeck header. Brighton then went on to defeat Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park and advanced through to the next round of the FA Cup by beating West Bromwich Albion 2-1.

Palace come into this match without talismanic figure Wilfried Zaha, but, this didn’t stop the Eagles from performing last weekend as they beat local rivals Millwall 2-1 with Michael Olise scoring and creating one assist in the process. Before their victory at the New Den, the Selhurst Park club had shown some inconsistencies, having lost 3-2 and 3-0 against West Ham and Tottenham, as well as beating Norwich 3-0 and drawing 2-2 with Southampton.

The final tip on this list comes from Turkey, where Besiktas face Gaziantep at Vodafone Park.

Besiktas come into this match as favourites, despite their troubled start to the season, which sees this be a clash of ninth versus seventh, with the champions of Turkey trailing league leaders Trabzonspor by 20 points after 20 matches.

Interim manager Onder Karaveli has overseen a slight turn in results so far at Besiktas, having managed 4-2 and 2-1 victories over Kayserispor and Goztepe, as well as two 2-2 draws against Fenerbahce and Rizespor.

Meanwhile, Gaziantep have won four of their last five matches, beating Fenerbahce 3-2, as well as Alanyaspor 2-1, Rizespor 1-0 and Fatih Karagumruk 3-1.

The last meeting between these two sides at Vodafone Park back in March saw the home side run out as 2-1 winners thanks to a Vincent Aboubakar brace, whilst Nouha Dicko scored a late consolation goal for the visitors.
