FRIDAY BUNDESLIGA/LA LIGA: Our football tipster The Ultra previews EINTRACHT FRANKFURT V ARMINIA BIELEFELD both including a recommended BETDAQ bet.
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT V ARMINIA BIELEFELD
7.30pm After a couple of weeks of change, we’re back to our usual Friday night football slot in Europe on BETDAQ Betting Exchange with one game from the Bundesliga and one from La Liga. We actually have a cracking night of action ahead with two very important games for everyone involved. We start in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt hosting Arminia Bielefeld, and it looks like 1,000 fans will be allowed back in the stadium here. The German state of Hessen has changed the rules slightly so most Bundesliga games will remain behind closed doors due to Covid19. It’s been a shame to lose fans again, especially when you see full houses in the Premier League but what can you do. This is a very important game for both sides when you look at the table. Eintracht Frankfurt are right in the mix for the Europa League spots, and even the Champions League spots. They start this weekend in 8th – I know there’s a lot of sides between them and the top four but there’s only three points to Hoffenheim in fourth and then four points to third. It’s going to be exceptionally competitive!
For Arminia Bielefeld, every game is massive for them at the moment. They are in the relegation playoff spot but a win could put them into 14th given their goal difference is much better than the sides around them, and then they are only four points off 12th – which again they have a better goal difference. A win for either side would be huge, but it all comes down to the odds here and I have to say Eintracht Frankfurt are too big at 1.8. Arminia Bielefeld have had a few decent results recently, but their performances have been average. If you look at their xG fixture you can see that they are there for the taking. Frankfurt are playing good football at the moment too, even in their 1-1 draw with Augsburg they created an xG of 2.27 and were unlucky not to win. They have been creating a decent amount of chances recently, and they can create enough to win here and put themselves in a strong position looking at the table.
The Ultra Says:
Three points win Eintracht Frankfurt to beat Arminia Bielefeld at 1.8 with BETDAQ Betting Exchange!

ESPANYOL V REAL BETIS
8pm We move to La Liga to finish the day and this is a massive game for Real Betis. They have gone through a little rough patch recently but they have managed to stay in the top four, and bounced back with a nice 4-0 win over Alaves on Tuesday. Despite a couple of poor results, they actually haven’t stopped playing badly. They have given away a few too many chances and goals, but they are still creating good xG figures. That win against Alaves was important as it steadies the ship and their fans can keep dreaming of Champions League football. They are going to start this weekend four points ahead of Atletico Madrid in fourth, and five points ahead of Barcelona. The chasing sides have a game in hand on Betis, but a win here would put a seven point gap in place and that’s pretty big considering Atletico and Barcelona haven’t been at their best this season. Espanyol are having a very up-and-down season and as I said above them midweek, it’s hard to actually know what type of performance you’re going to get from them. They could only manage a 2-2 draw with Cadiz and that was a disappointing result following on from a 2-1 loss to Elche.
Espanyol have been conceding too many chances recently, and when you put that together with the volume of chances Real Betis are creating at the moment then I can only see one winner here. Real Betis look cracking value at 2.44 – Espanyol are decent at home, but Real Betis are actually higher in the away form table compare to the home form table this season. The thing about Espanyol is that they just don’t turn up for some games – they create an xG of over 2.0 and then they next game they might only create 0.36. Their main issues are at the back, and this is what will make the difference in my view. Real Betis like to play an open game, and they can create a lot more than Espanyol here. We should actually have a very entertaining game and might see a handful of goals, but I can’t get away from the Betis price at 2.44. I believe it offers so much value it has to be a Max Bet for me.
The Ultra Says:
Five points win Real Betis to beat Espanyol at 2.44 with BETDAQ Betting Exchange!
