Today’s Bundesliga betting tips & predictions
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Heidenheim (2:30pm)
Borussia Monchengladbach host Heidenheim, who are just a few matches away from being confirmed as the first team to be relegated.
It’s clear to everyone that this is now inevitable, given the seven matches remaining and the nine-point gap to safety, but we’ve seen all kinds of miracles.
It’s important for Borussia to finish the season on a high note, and right now their form looks far better than usual. They’ve won their last two home games without conceding a goal, and they deserve our support for a third consecutive victory at Borussia-Park.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg (2:30pm)
We continue with a matchup that has been quite competitive over the years, though not in recent seasons since Wolfsburg has been in a slump.
Bayer Leverkusen have become a master of draws in recent months, given that six of their last eight matches have ended in a draw.
They need to start winning because the Champions League is starting to slip away, and Wolfsburg is the perfect opponent to get that winning streak going. Die Werkself have won four of their last five matches against the Wolves, scoring at least two goals in each victory.

Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich (2:30pm)
It’s probably too late for Freiburg to qualify for Europe again, but they still have a mathematical chance. To do so, however, they can’t afford to lose to the champions, who remain as dominant.
Bayern have quite a few injured players, but their squad is so deep that it likely won’t be noticeable. We mustn’t forget, however, that Freiburg are one of the strongest home teams in the league, which leads us to expect a high-scoring match.
Eight of the last ten matches between the two teams at the Europa-Park Stadion have featured goals at both ends. Most of the regular markets have low odds whenever Bayern play, so BTTS is one of the few good options.
Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich top betting tip: BTTS
Hamburger vs. Augsburg (2:30pm)
Hamburg and Augsburg are safe in theory, but it wouldn’t hurt for them to pick up a few more points before the end of the season.
Neither team is in top form, especially defensively, so this is a pretty good match for betting on goals. Of course, it’s entirely possible they’ll surprise us and we won’t see any goals.
But Augsburg were in pretty decent form before their run of matches against top-six teams, and we can expect more from them.
Hamburger vs. Augsburg top betting tip: BTTS
Hoffenheim vs. Mainz (2:30pm)
While Hoffenheim have seen a dip in form, Mainz have only just started to play better and pull away from the bottom of the table.
Since this makes the match much harder to predict, we plan to focus on a different type of bet, namely corners. The last four matches between the teams have featured 11+ corners.
Hoffenheim rank third in corners taken at home this season—an average of 6.62 per match. The odds for over 5.5 corners for Hoffenheim sit at 4/5, while you can back Over 9.5 in the match overall at 13/20. Both are good options.
Hoffenheim vs. Mainz top betting tip: Over 9.5 corners
Werder Bremen vs. RB Leipzig (2:30pm)
Werder Bremen have won a few matches and climbed four points above the relegation zone, but the battle is far from over, especially given their poor home form.
RB Leipzig are just one draw away from losing their spot in the top four, so every match is crucial. This matchup has often produced surprises over the years, and right now, anything is possible.
That’s exactly why we advise you to skip it if you’re not willing to take a risk, because we plan to back RB to win on the road, mainly due to the fact that Werder have lost to every team in the top of the table. The difference in class is simply too significant at the moment.

Stuttgart vs. Borussia Dortmund (5:30pm)
Although mathematically Dortmund are still in the title race, it’s almost impossible given Bayern Munich’s form. So right now, they’re really fighting for the title of “best of the rest,” and Stuttgart are their only competitor for that title.
The last few matches between the two teams have been incredible, with a 3-3 draw earlier this season and a 5-1 win for Stuttgart last year at the same stadium.
So there are plenty of reasons to expect a strong showing from both sides, especially considering that both teams have wrapped up their European campaigns and have nothing else to worry about.
