Keep reading below for our expert tips and predictions for all six Bundesliga matches on Saturday.
Today’s Bundesliga betting tips & predictions
Bayer Leverkusen vs. St Pauli (2:30pm)
St Pauli will attempt to win back-to-back Bundesliga matches for only the second time this season, as they hope to escape the relegation zone.
Bayer Leverkusen haven’t lost since mid-January but remain three points behind Champions League football. Die Werkself will feel confident after beating St Pauli 3-0 in the DFB Pokal last week.
Leverkusen won five of the last six competitive H2Hs, four of which featured BTTS and Over 2.5 goals. We will back the hosts to beat St Pauli for the third time this season, but not without drama.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. St Pauli top betting tip: Bayer Leverkusen to win, Over 2.5 goals
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Borussia Monchengladbach (2:30pm)
Watch out for this clash, as Eintracht and Gladbach produced one of the games of the season in the reverse fixture in September.
While it is unlikely that we will see a 10-goal thriller again, we definitely can expect goals on both ends. Both sides are completely out of shape, and their defences look helpless against any rival.
Nine of the last 10 competitive H2Hs featured goals from both sides, so we can’t miss this opportunity.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach top betting tip:
Hamburger vs. Union Berlin (2:30pm)
While both sides are sitting in the middle of the table, they are both three and six points away from the relegation zone.
At the same time, Union and Hamburg are among the lowest-scoring teams in the league, making it extremely difficult to expect any action.
HSV have won 16 of their 22 points at home this season, only losing twice in 10 fixtures. We expect the teams to share the spoils in this clash.
Hamburger vs. Union Berlin top betting tip: Draw
Hoffenheim vs Freiburg (2:30pm)
Hoffenheim are at risk of losing their Top 4 position when they face Freiburg – a team they haven’t beaten since 2021.
However, the Kraichgauers are on a sensational seven-match win streak at home, scoring 3+ goals in six out of seven games. At the same time, Freiburg only won one of their last five away Bundesliga fixtures.
There will never be a better time for Hoffenheim to change the narrative and claim a rare win over this rival.

Werder Bremen vs. Bayern Munich (2:30pm)
The Bundesliga’s most-played fixture returns for the 118th time in history on Saturday, as Werder Bremen hope to make a huge step towards survival, and Bayern aim to retain their lead at the top.
The last few years have been tough for Werder Bremen, as the River Islanders have a single win in the last 36 H2Hs. Additionally, the Bavarians won their last 16 visits to this venue.
Unfortunately for the hosts, they will probably have to endure another heavy beating at the hands of the champions.
Werder Bremen vs. Bayern Munich top betting tip: Over 2.5 Bayern Munich goals
Stuttgart vs. FC Koln (5:30pm)
Stuttgart hope to bounce back from their shocking defeat at St Pauli when they meet FC Koln, who are trying to put some points between them and the drop zone.
The Swabians conceded their top-four position to RB Leipzig with the recent defeat, but they should feel confident about this clash. Stuttgart won seven of their 10 home matches this season (D2, L1).
We wouldn’t risk betting on a high-scoring clash, but Stuttgart should be able to net at least two goals against Koln, who have conceded 2+ in six of their 10 away games this season.
Stuttgart vs. FC Koln top betting tip: Over 1.5 Stuttgart goals
