Watching these soccer matches from around the world, played in front of no fans and near empty stadiums, one thing has become clear.
The home field advantage should be diminished.
When this COVID-19 pandemic is gone, and the stats people get a chance, across multiple sports, to break down the data pertaining to home field advantage, it is going to be very interesting reading, especially for the numbers people (Boop, I am looking at you.)
Anyway, in the Bundesliga Friday, Parx has its Daily X Bet set on the Hertha Berlin 1. FC Union Berlin battle. These teams are separated by a point (Hertha 31, Union 30) and a place (11th and 12th) in the Bundesliga table, and in theory, Hertha Berlin should be favored at home.
That is the case, but will that come into play?
This Parx parlay should pay +260 (Hertha +130, over 2.5 -115), but it has been boosted up to +325.
In the first week back, there were 27 goals scored in nine matches, which according to my quick math is three goals per contest. Hertha Berlin looked really good in a 3-0 win over Hoffenheim, while 1. FC Union Berlin lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, and played well at times.
If you think the over should hit, it basically comes down to whether or not you think Hertha Berlin will win at home.
So instead of +130, you get +325.
Not bad.
