Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig is currently in a difficult phase and occupies only the 14th position in the league table with 7 points. The team's defensive performance is weak (8:14 goals), and no wins have been achieved in the last five games (four losses, one draw). The defense often appears porous and open like a highway for opposing attacks. Tactically, there is a lack of a clear plan for offensive build-up; many attacks come to nothing, even though the team tends to play more open games at home, which favors goals for both sides.

Paderborn
Paderborn shows itself as a more stable team and sits in 5th place with 14 points and a goal difference of 9:4. The last five matches brought three wins, one draw, and only one loss. Tactically, the team impresses with aggressive pressing, fast transitions, and a compact defense. Despite some important injuries, the team is well organized and capable of standing firm defensively as well as counterattacking effectively.

Injuries
For Eintracht Braunschweig, Robin Heusser (suspended until 17.10.2025), Lukas Frenkert, and Sidney Raebiger (both with muscle injuries) are missing. These absences heavily strain the already weakened team. Paderborn must do without Marcel Hoffmeier (cruciate ligament tear) and David Kinsombi (hip injury), but they have enough depth in their squad to compensate for these losses.

Head-to-Head Encounters
The head-to-head matches in recent years are balanced, as both teams have won against each other, with varied results. Eintracht Braunschweig, despite their own problems, already managed a 3-2 home win against Paderborn, while Paderborn also had successful away games against Braunschweig. This history shows that Paderborn’s clear favorite status does not automatically guarantee a sure victory.

Game Forecast
The match promises to be exciting, as Eintracht Braunschweig will give everything at home to score despite their weak defense, while Paderborn will come with strong offense and strive again for a win. Due to Braunschweig’s vulnerable defense and Paderborn’s determination, a high-scoring game is very likely. Both teams have frequently scored in recent games, making the bet "Both teams to score: Yes" at odds of 1.55 particularly attractive. Braunschweig’s offensive approach at home and Paderborn’s efficient effectiveness clearly support this betting option.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.55)

Po FC
Po FC has shown remarkable stability and a strong will to win in recent matches. The team is in good form and has won three of their last five games. Especially the offensive performance against Boulogne with a 3-0 victory demonstrates the team’s attacking potential. The preferred 4-3-3 formation allows for dominant midfield play and quick attacks down the wings. The defense is solid, although problems can arise against technically stronger opponents. Overall, Po FC shows a confident and aggressive playing style, making them a dangerous opponent on home ground.

Clermont
Clermont currently holds 10th place in the standings and has shown somewhat inconsistent form lately. The team struggles with stable performances but has suffered some clear defeats. The defense often appears vulnerable, especially against fast and technically skilled opponents. Moreover, Clermont is missing important players due to injuries, which significantly weakens their offense. Tactically, the team mostly employs a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formation, trying to maintain compactness, but dangerous gaps often emerge during transitions. Overall, Clermont currently lacks the cutting power and stability to compete against strong opponents like Po FC.

Injuries
Clermont is missing several key players, including Maïdine Douane (cruciate ligament tear), Famara Diédhiou (knee injury), and Adrien Hunou (muscle injury), which negatively impacts both defensive stability and offensive power. Po FC is expected to have a full squad available, which is clearly an advantage.

Head-to-Head
The direct encounters between Po FC and Clermont are traditionally high-scoring and full of tension. The last two matches ended in 2-2 draws each, underscoring the ability of both teams to score and generate excitement. Additionally, Po FC recently won at home 2-1 against Clermont. These games show that goals are likely and the match will be far from a cautious defensive contest.

Match Prediction
Po FC is clearly in better form and has a stronger offense as well as a stable defense. Clermont, on the other hand, struggles with injuries and inconsistent form. The offensive qualities of Po FC are particularly enhanced by the weaknesses in Clermont’s defense. Based on the previous direct encounters and the current situation, an offensive game is expected. The betting odds of 1.85 for a Po FC win offer a very attractive risk-reward ratio. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Po FC win" as the best option for this match.

My tip: Po FC win (1.85)

Bastia
Bastia is in 18th place with only 3 points and has yet to win a game this season. Their offensive performance is extremely weak, with only 4 goals scored and 11 conceded. The team appears harmless offensively, often playing too narrowly and predictably, which gives advantages to the well-organized opponent defense. Defensively, Bastia suffers from frequent positioning errors despite a defensively oriented style of play. Their home strength leaves much to be desired, which is reflected in the lack of a winning streak at home as well.

Dunkerque
Dunkerque stands at 11th place with 9 points and presents themselves significantly more balanced. The team plays actively on offense, having one of the best goal tallies in the league (16 goals), but also a vulnerable defense (14 goals conceded), which often makes their matches exciting. Their play is characterized by high pressing pressure and quick transitions, generating many chances. Despite their attacking enthusiasm, they are not always stable defensively, suggesting matches with goals on both sides.

Injuries
Currently, there is no information about injured or suspended players for Bastia or Dunkerque, so both teams are expected to be able to field their best lineups.

Head-to-Head
The direct encounters between Bastia and Dunkerque have historically been balanced and sometimes high-scoring. Of the last five meetings, each team has won twice, with one match ending in a draw. The range of results varies from a clear 5-0 victory for Bastia to close contests. Despite the history, the current form is weighted more heavily.

Match Prediction
Considering Bastia's weak offensive performance, often struggling to create chances and leading to a low average number of goals, combined with Dunkerque's relatively open but not always efficient defense, we expect a low-scoring game. Bastia’s defensive orientation and the likelihood that neither team will play with full risk speak in favor of an outcome with fewer than 2.5 goals. The odds of 1.60 for under 2.5 goals are therefore worth playing and offer a balanced risk-reward ratio.

My Tip: Under 2.5 Goals (1.60)

Guingamp
Guingamp currently stands in 8th place in the league table and shows good form with 4 wins in the last 5 games. The team impresses with an offensive playing style with many goals, while the defense reveals weaknesses, indicating a certain vulnerability to counterattacks. At home, Guingamp plays particularly confidently and effectively uses the home advantage, applying high tempo and pressure on the opponent.

Nancy
Nancy is currently ranked 6th and struggles with a less potent offense but has a more stable defense compared to Guingamp. The team has recently shown a mixed series with only one win in five games and typically uses a more defensively oriented 4-2-3-1 or 5-3-2 system to rely on quick counters. Away from home, Nancy often lacks the necessary confidence and punch in attack.

Injuries
Currently, no serious injuries or suspensions are known for either team. Thus, the coaches can likely field their best squads, which promises a full-fledged duel.

Head-to-Head
The direct encounters between Guingamp and Nancy have usually been high-scoring and exciting in the past. Of the last five matches, Guingamp won two, Nancy one, and two games ended in draws. In three of these games, more than 2.5 goals were scored, highlighting the offensive strength of both teams. The last home game of Guingamp against Nancy ended with a 3-1 win for Guingamp.

Match Prediction
Both teams play with an open approach and focus on offensive actions, which often leads to goals conceded. Guingamp's home strength and offensive orientation meet Nancy's combative defense with the ability for quick counterattacks. The history of encounters and the current form of both teams clearly suggest that both teams will score at least one goal. The betting odds of 1.70 for "Both teams to score: Yes" therefore represent an attractive and well-founded choice.

My Tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.70)

Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim currently sits in 10th place in the table with 7 points and a goal difference of 9:11. The team shows fluctuating form with spectacular offensive performances but also defensive weaknesses. Their strategy is offensive and versatile, focusing on wing play and active involvement of the full-backs. However, large gaps appear in the central defense, especially during fast counterattacks. The team struggles to find stability, which is evident in highlights such as a 4-2 victory over Union Berlin, but also defeats like a 1-4 loss against Bayern Munich. The home advantage is expected to give Hoffenheim momentum, but the defense remains vulnerable, especially with key players injured.

Köln
Köln currently occupies 7th place with also 7 points and a goal difference of 10:9. The team prefers a balanced playing style with aggressive pressing and quick transitions, often utilizing crosses and long-range shots. Defensively, there is some instability, particularly against fast attacks by opponents. Köln also plays offensively and fearlessly in away games, which results in numerous goals. The team has both convincing wins, such as a 4-1 against Freiburg, and defeats, for example against Stuttgart and RB Leipzig. Important defensive players are also missing at the moment, further weakening the defense.

Injuries
Hoffenheim is missing several key players, including central defender Koki Machida (ACL tear), as well as Kelven Frees (ankle fracture), Hennes Behrens (muscle tear), Albian Hajdari (illness), Valentin Gendrey (ankle fracture), and Adam Hlozek (wrist fracture). Köln also suffers defensive absences due to injuries, including Rav van den Berg (shoulder injury), Luca Kilian (ACL tear), and Marius Bülter (Achilles tendon irritation). As a result, both defensive lines are weakened, increasing the likelihood of many goals.

Head-to-Head
The last five direct duels between Hoffenheim and Köln have been characterized by a high number of goals. Four out of five matches exceeded a total of 2.5 goals, and in four games both teams scored. Notably, Köln has two 3-1 victories on Hoffenheim’s home ground. The history shows that this matchup regularly involves many goals and open play.

Match Prediction
Given the offensive playing styles of both teams, their defensive weaknesses, and numerous defensive absences, a high-scoring game is expected. The xG data confirms efficient chance conversion alongside vulnerable defenses. The recent direct encounters also point to goals on both sides. The odds of 1.48 for "Both teams to score: Yes" therefore offer great value. We anticipate an intense, offensive game with at least one goal on each side.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.48)

Verona
Verona is currently in 17th place in the table, just above the relegation zone, with only 3 points. With just 2 goals scored and 8 conceded, the offensive power is extremely weak, while the defense also appears unstable. The team has not won in the last five games, with three draws and two losses. Remarkable is the glaring discrepancy between expected goals (6.3 xG) and actual goals scored (2). This indicates major problems in finishing chances. The tactics seem unclear, and the attack often shows panic and insecurity in front of the opponent’s goal. Although Verona plays somewhat better at home, recent results with three draws reflect the lack of penetrating force. The defense is vulnerable to quick counterattacks, and numerous injuries especially in midfield and attack further weaken the team.

Sassuolo
Sassuolo stands 13th with 6 points and shows a very inconsistent season with two wins and three losses in the last five games. They have scored 7 goals with an expected value of 6.01, indicating decent chance conversion. However, the defense shows major weaknesses, reflected in 8 goals conceded with an expected value of over 10 goals against. Sassuolo plays offensively, often using 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations, but this creates large gaps in defense, making them vulnerable to counters. The team is hard to assess and shows little substance against strong opponents while being able to earn points against weaker teams. Injury-wise, Sassuolo’s absences are less severe.

Injuries
Several key players at Verona are long-term injured, including Abdou Harroui and Nicolás Valentini until early October 2025, as well as Tomas Suslov even until March 2026. This particularly weakens the midfield and attacking lines significantly. Additionally, Daniel Oyegoke and Daniel Mosquera are also missing. At Sassuolo, only Yeferson Paz is long-term injured, which burdens the team significantly less.

Head-to-Head
The past meetings between Verona and Sassuolo are balanced, with alternating winners and mostly high-scoring games. Three of five matches ended with more than 2.5 goals and four mostly saw both teams scoring. The history shows that both teams play openly and offensively, which is to be expected again given their defensive weaknesses.

Match Prediction
Although Verona is currently struggling both in play and personnel, deeper data indicates their chance conversion may soon improve and they should not be underestimated at home. Sassuolo, on the other hand, tends toward inconsistent performances, is offensively dangerous but defensively vulnerable. Oddsmakers evaluate the game rather cautiously and favor a goal limit under 2.5, but statistics and recent meetings suggest a more open game with goals. Considering the fluctuating form and weaknesses of both teams, a safety bet with “Double Chance Verona” is recommended, as Verona has the better prospect at home of at least one point and the odds advantage at 1.35 is attractive.

My Tip: Double Chance Verona (1.35)

Bournemouth
Bournemouth currently stands in 6th place in the table with a strong record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss. The team employs a compact defensive tactic and relies mainly on quick counterattacks. Despite a relatively low goal tally (8 goals in 6 games) and the injury of Enes Ünal, who is missed in the offense, the team shows a very stable and fighting performance at home. The recent games have been characterized by rather low scores and a focus on securing results.

Fulham
Fulham is placed 11th in the table with 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. The team exhibits fluctuating form, with a rather average offense (7 goals), but a vulnerable defense that allows many chances. Especially the absences of defender Kenny Tete and striker Rodrigo Muniz noticeably weaken the team, making the defense even more vulnerable. Although Fulham has a decent goal rate, the injuries and away weaknesses speak against them in this match.

Injuries
Bournemouth must do without Enes Ünal (anterior cruciate ligament tear, out until 18.10.2025), which significantly weakens the offense. Fulham is missing Kenny Tete (knee injury) and Rodrigo Muniz (muscle injury), which limits both defensive and attacking options.

Head-to-Head
The last direct encounters were balanced with some close wins for both teams. Bournemouth generally showed more firepower in home games and was able to secure several victories. Fulham was occasionally successful especially away, but overall the history slightly favors Bournemouth as a strong home team.

Match Prediction
Both teams currently do not possess an impressive offensive strength and have defensive weaknesses, which will not necessarily lead to a high-scoring game. Bournemouth ensures a close match at home with strong organization and fighting spirit, where they will capitalize on their chances. The absences on both sides suggest a cautious game, in which Bournemouth’s home strength and currently better form should give them the edge. The odds of 1.90 for a Bournemouth win are attractive and well justified given the situation of both squads.

My Tip: Win Bournemouth (1.90)
