Biggest soccer plays I have for Friday Nov. 28 (German Bundesliga/ 2. Liga)
Putting it half and half. Screw it. Risky but I have absolute faith in both of these plays.
Hertha Berlin over FC Koln
FC Kaiserslautern over Alemannia Aachen
Both teams at home.
Hertha is almost invincible at home. They've won their last 4 at home (Hamburg, Hoffenheim among them) after early hiccups. Koln is not bad away but they've lost to all the top teams away they've faced - Bremen, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg. Even lost to top 2. Liga Mainz. They've beat Stuttgart (during their slump), Borussia Moen, and Karlsruher away. Looks like a 2-0 or 3-1 game.
Kaiserslaturn are another one of those invincible at home teams. Average away record but perfect home record. Only drew with 1860 a few weeks back, but the rest are wins. And they face a similar "perfect at home, bad away" team in Alemania Aachen. They lost to all top decent competition away and drew against the mediocre ones. 2-1 game, Aachen are tough. And without a lot of luck they would've easily lost their last two games (1-1 - one late equaliser, one late winner) in which they didn't deserve the points.
Tougher games than they look surely, which is if there's a PK on either game I'll take it depending on the odds. But these two games look perfect to me, especially Hertha Berlin.

Hertha has had so many chances, I'm glad they could finally score! 1-1 isn't so bad.. whew
