Hertha BSC and Schalke 04 on Matchday opened Matchday 19 with a 2-2 draw (+220) on Friday. All four goals came in the first 45 minutes, which certainly made 'over (2.5) bettors happy.
Saturday's action watched the favorites go 5-0 and that included two 'chalk' tickets on the road. The visitors that connected were Bayer 04 Leverkusen (+135) and TSG Hoffenheim (-116).
Borussia Dortmund (-525) was the largest favorite on Saturday and it ran past Hannover 96 at home with a 5-1 decision. Dortmund scored four of its goals in the second-half and that helped the 'over' (3.5) cash.
Including that result, the 'over' went 5-1 on Saturday and only two teams were able to post clean sheets while eight of the 12 teams in action scored at least two goals.
The favorites continued to roll on Sunday and both of the results were never in doubt.
Bayern Munich (-1000) extended its winning streak in league play to seven games with a 4-1 win over Vfb Stuttgart as a heavy home favorite. The lone goal by the visitor helped the 'over' (4) connect.
In the Matchday 19 finale, RB Leipzig (+118) blitzed Fortuna Dusseldorf 4-0 as a road favorite. RBL led 3-0 at halftime, which helped 'over' bettors (2.5) light up the cigar early. Prior to this setback, Fortuna Dusseldorf had won four straight games in the Bundesliga.
