Erzgebirge Aue has 9-3-2 at home and as Karlsruhe is close to the bottom with 2-6-6 at home. The odds should have been closer to events in my world. Visitors are currently on a better period of play this season. Most of their matches ended in a draw, in fact, they had more draws than losses. This has thrown them into the position they are in and will be crucial in deciding their future. The head-to-head statistics favor the home team that has a winning streak at home. The AUE home team in 12th place with 38 points after 29 rounds is fairly calm but not mathematically safe, while Karlsruher SC is in full fight for relegation in 16th place with 30 points after 29 games. In my opinion, a point for the visiting team which by the way is unbeaten for 4 rounds

In a confrontation billed as a battle between Frank Lampard and his old mentor Jose Mourinho, Spurs could have leapfrogged Chelsea with victory but were outplayed and are now adrift by four points. Lampard made four changes from the team that lost 2-0 at home to Manchester United on Monday and they paid rich dividends as they all made a contribution to only their second win in seven league games.
Having watched his team lose two Bundesliga fixtures on the bounce, interim Bayern boss Hans-Dieter Flick could resist any temptations to change his own XI around too much however, and that should considerably heighten Die Roten's chances of turning a weakened Tottenham team over.
Ajax sit 3pts clear at the top of the table after ending 2019 with a 6-1 victory over Den Haag, while Sparta did Ajax a huge favour by beating 2nd placed AZ 3-0 in their last league game.
