Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs a home win with goals.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Hugo Bolin 1+ shot on target | 11/10 (bet365) | Hugo Bolin has been Gladbach’s main attacking outlet, scoring twice and landing at least one shot on target in three of their four league games. The visitors have lost every game, but they have still scored three times in each of their two home defeats, and Cologne have conceded in all four of their matches. bet365’s 11/10 is the clear outlier, with Ladbrokes and Coral only 8/11. Bolin is the visitors’ likeliest source of an effort on target, and that price is worth taking. |
| Cologne 3-1 Borussia Monchengladbach | 12/1 (bet365) | Gladbach are bottom with no points and a staggering 16 goals conceded in four games, having lost every match. Cologne have scored in every game and should have far too much at home, yet Gladbach do carry a threat and have found the net themselves, which points to a home win with a consolation. This derby has produced goals aplenty of late, with both sides scoring in recent meetings. A 3-1 Cologne win at 12/1 is the value call on the correct score. |
