The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 18/1/22

The first tip on this list of the most statistically backed match result and both teams to score fixtures comes from AFCON 2021 where Malawi and Senegal go head to head in a crucial fixture to decide the final standings of Group B.

Malawi have three points to their name that could be enough to see them through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams, having beaten Zimbabwe 2-1 last time out thanks to goals by Gabadinho Mhango either side of half time having initially fallen behind to an Ishmael Wadi strike. Prior to this, Malawi had been narrowly beaten by Guinea on matchday one.

On the other hand, Senegal came into this tournament as the favourites, following their narrow defeat in the final of AFCON 2019 to Algeria. However, things haven’t gone to plan, following a narrow 1-0 win over Zimbabwe on matchday one thanks to a stoppage-time penalty by Sadio Mane, before drawing 0-0 with Guinea, meaning that they must better the later mentioned team’s result if they are to top the group.

The next tip comes from the DFB Pokal where Bundesliga 2 leaders St. Pauli host Borussia Dortmund at Millerntor-Stadion.

St. Pauli come into this match without a win in their last three matches, having drawn 2-2 against Ezerbirge Aue, as well as suffering a 3-0 loss to Holstein Kiel and drawing 1-1 with Fortuna Dusseldorf. Prior to this, St.Pauli had beaten Schalke 04 2-1 and Nurnberg 3-2.

Dortmund are always known for giving away chances in defence, which is typified by some of their recent results, having hammered Freiburg 5-1, defeated Eintracht Frankfurt from 2-0 down as three goals in the final 19 minutes of the match by Thorgan Hazard, Jude Bellingham and Mahmoud Dahoud earned them an unlikely victory from a precarious position.

Prior to their most recent victories, the Black and Yellows had been beaten 3-2 by Hertha Berlin, as well as beating Greuther Furth 3-0, but, were held to a 1-1 draw away at VFL Bochum.

FC Koln and Hamburg will go toe to toe with each other in the DFB Pokal on Tuesday night in a battle of ninth in the Bundesliga against fifth in Bundesliga 2.

The home side have scored 30 goals and conceded 32 in 19 league matches, whilst Hamburg have fired in 32 and let in 19 in the same number of league fixtures in their respective league.

Steffen Baumgart will be hoping that FC Koln can bounce back from their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Bayern Munich last weekend, in the runup to this match, they had managed to win three Bundesliga matches in a row, defeating Hertha Berlin 3-1, Stuttgart 1-0 and Wolfsburg 3-2.

Meanwhile, Hamburg have drawn their last two matches by 1-1 scorelines against both Dynamo Dresden and Schalke 04. Before these score draws, Hamburg had beaten Hansa Rostock and Ingolstadt 3-0 on either side of a 1-0 loss to Hannover 96.

League One strugglers Morecambe face Wigan Athletic, with the Latics currently occupying fourth-place, just four points off top of the table Wycombe Wanderers with five games in hand.

The Shrimps have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions, which came in a dramatic 4-3 victory over bottom of the table Doncaster Rovers at the Mazuma Stadium in early January, having been 3-0 down at half time. Since then, they have been defeated 3-1 by Tottenham Hotspur, as well as drawing 0-0 with AFC Wimbledon last time out.

Wigan are in superb form coming into this fixture, having won all of their last four fixtures across all competitions, beating Oxford United 3-2 in mid-December, before thumping Oldham Athletic 6-0 at Boundary Park, earning a 3-2 victory against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, as well as a narrow 2-1 win over Doncaster at the weekend.

The final tip on this list comes from League Two where top of the table Forest Green Rovers takes on seventh place Mansfield Town at the New Lawn Stadium.

Forest Green come into this match having won just two of their last five matches, but, are seven points clear of second in the table Tranmere Rovers with a game in hand. Rob Edwards’ side have drawn 5-5, 0-0 and 1-1 against Oldham Athletic, Exeter City and Northampton Town, as well as beaten both Stevenage and Colchester United by 2-0 scorelines in their last five matches.

Nigel Clough’s men will be coming into this match full of confidence having won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with their only defeat coming in a 3-2 FA Cup loss at home to Middlesbrough. Rovers beat Salford City and Hartlepool United 2-1 and 3-2 before their loss to Boro, before defeating Swindon Town 3-2 and Walsall 2-0.
