Bettina's Expert Picks

Sports betting has long been more than just a sideshow – for many fans, it's an integral part of matchday. Smart betting requires more than just gut feeling: current form, injuries, and above all – accurate data! All of this can make a difference in our information-driven world. For this reason, we've created a column that provides you with three hot tips every week. Gut feeling plays only a minor role. We rely on a special algorithm that transforms all available numbers and data into a lucrative betting tip. We'll reveal the name of the software below.

We'll focus on different leagues, starting with the Premier League in week 33. These are our three best sports betting tips.

Tip 1: Union Berlin vs. VfB Stuttgart

The Bundesliga is finally starting, and we have some interesting matches waiting for us this week. One of them is Union Berlin vs. VfB Stuttgart. The Irons had a weak preseason, but were able to gain a lot of confidence with a 5-0 cup victory over Gütersloh. They can also count on home advantage against Stuttgart. In our view, however, that's their only advantage in this match. The Swabians may be traveling to the Alte Försterei on the back of a Super Cup defeat, but the numbers speak for themselves. Our software calculates a 52% win probability and 1.6 goals. The odds also look exciting, and our tip is therefore: VfB Stuttgart win at odds of +100 with BetMGM.

Tip 2: Heidenheim vs. VfL Wolfsburg

Heidenheim narrowly managed to avoid relegation last season against Elversberg. After a good preseason, they also achieved success in the DFB-Pokal and will play host to VfL Wolfsburg this week. The Wolves, who had no trouble in the first round of the cup with a 9-0 win over Hemelingen, are aiming to challenge for the European Cup places again this year. The over/under bets for this upcoming match are particularly interesting. Our software is predicting 3.5 goals in this game, and we're seeing lines of -142 for over 2.5 goals and +190 for over 3.5 goals from various sportsbooks. . Therefore, our Heidenheim vs. Wolfsburg bet is quite clear: Over 2.5 goals at odds of -142 at FanDuel.

Tip 3: Freiburg vs. Augsburg

It's a match that probably not many bettors have on their radar. Nevertheless, it could be a lucrative opportunity for your Bundesliga bets. Freiburg capped off a good pre-season phase by advancing past the first round of the cup. Augsburg also made it to the second round, with the same scoreline of 2-0. However, in these two teams' first meeting of the season, we see that there probably won't be many goals. Our software predicts a maximum of one goal for Augsburg and 1.34 for Freiburg. The last head-to-head meeting, which ended 0-0, fits this picture well. Therefore, we're betting on under 2.5 goals at odds of -115 with DraftKings.
