Pirmasens FK - Hoffenheim 1 @ 8.6 (Betfair)
While Hoffenheim are certainly more likely to win today, I just have to back Pirmasens at such a price. I rate Pirmasens' coach Jung highly, at home they beat Werder Bremen in the cup and they won against Stuttgarter Kickers at home when Kickers were at the top of table. Pirmasens appear to perform better against the strong opponents and weaker when everyone expects them to win. They 16th in a league with 18 teams with 11 points after 14 games (3-2-9), yet the average price for the winning 1X2 selection in their games was as high as 2.66. I'm hoping for another surprise.

Pfullendorf - Kaiserslautern II 1 @ 1.98 (Betfair)
Like Karlsruhe yesterday, Kaiserslautern II are playing at the same time as Kaiserslautern I and their best player, goalkeeper Fromlowitz, will be with the first team. I've been watching Pfullendorf a couple of times over the last few weeks and even though they will miss two defenders after two sending offs in their last match in Karlsruhe (where they lost 1-4 with 3 of the 4 goals scored from the penalty spot), I expect their strong midfield to win this important match.
