Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes VfL Bochum the side to beat here at 40%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on VfL Bochum, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. VfL Bochum travel to face Energie Cottbus with slightly better recent momentum in the league. The visitors look value at two point three five to take all three points.

Form and momentum

Energie Cottbus come in patchy, winning 33% of 6 on record. 1 of their 3 home games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

VfL Bochum come in patchy, winning 40% of 5 on record. 2 of their 3 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 34% for COT, 26% for the draw and 40% for BOC once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.35, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • VfL Bochum lost one of their last five matches which shows they can be vulnerable on the road.
  • Energie Cottbus managed to pick up a draw in their recent run which proves they can frustrate stronger opponents.
The bottom line

We back VfL Bochum for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.
