All eyes will be on the Bundesliga on Saturday, with six matches scheduled for the afternoon.
Battles will be fought between teams from all corners of the table, with almost no team involved having the right to make a mistake. The battle for the top four has never been more competitive, and the fight for survival is becoming more interesting with each passing week.
Continue reading below for our expert tips and predictions for all six Bundesliga fixtures on Saturday.
Today’s Bundesliga betting tips & predictions
Freiburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen (2:30pm)
Freiburg are still 10 points off the top six, but their chances will improve significantly if they beat Bayer Leverkusen, who are currently in sixth place.
Die Werkself continue to be unconvincing, with only two wins in their last five Bundesliga matches. Freiburg, on the other hand, have been the best home team in recent months, with no losses at home since the start of the season in August.
We were surprised by the 19/10 odds for Freiburg, which allows us to take advantage of the double chance market.
Freiburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen top betting tip: Freiburg or draw
Heidenheim vs. Hoffenheim (2:30pm)
We had almost forgotten what it was like to see Hoffenheim lose, but it happened twice in recent weeks. Now, however, they have a great opportunity to redeem themselves against Heidenheim, who have never beaten them.
The hosts are heading rapidly towards the lower division, having not won since the beginning of December. Their defense is particularly weak, conceding at least two goals in eight of their last 10 games.
Hoffenheim cannot afford any mistakes if they want to keep their place in the top 4, and as the third-highest scoring team in the league, we expect them to win by a comfortable margin.

Mainz vs. Stuttgart (2:30pm)
Mainz were just a few minutes away from beating Bayer Leverkusen, and this mistake could prove costly later on.
Stuttgart continue to dominate at home and falter in their away games, which makes this clash quite unpredictable, despite the huge difference in the positions of the two teams.
Mainz have only lost once at home in their last 10 home games, which prompts us to bet on goals, because the match is crucial for both teams.

RB Leipzig vs. Augsburg (2:30pm)
RB Leipzig have had a few hiccups in recent weeks, but remain among the main contenders for the top four.
Augsburg, meanwhile, have sensationally revived their season, but despite being one of only two teams with four wins in their last five games, they are unlikely to achieve anything more than a top-half finish.
Eight of RB's last 10 home games have featured at least three goals, and they have conceded 11 goals in their last four. The visitors' good form prompts us to bet on goals for both teams, as picking a winner is too risky.

Wolfsburg vs. Hamburger (2:30pm)
This match sends us to the bottom half of the table, where both Wolfsburg and Hamburg are in desperate need of a win after two consecutive losses.
Wolfsburg are the worst home team in the league, even though they score an impressive number of goals. They have the weakest defense in the league, and we believe even Hamburger, who have scored the fewest goals away from home this season, will find the net against them.
Wolfsburg's last eight home games have included goals at both ends, and we intend to test that market here as well.

FC Koln vs. Borussia Dortmund (5:30pm)
Borussia Dortmund seem doomed to end the season without any trophies and need to drown their sorrows with a win against relegation-threatened FC Koln.
Last week was disastrous for BVB, as they were knocked out of the Champions League and then lost the derby against Bayern Munich, who are now 11 points ahead of them. They are left to fight for second place for another season and need to make amends with a win against FC Koln, who are one defeat away from the relegation zone.
Dortmund need to come out fired up and make amends to their fans, so we expect to see a goal-fest.
FC Koln vs. Borussia Dortmund top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
