Today’s Bundesliga betting tips & predictions
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Union Berlin (2:30pm)
Union Berlin found their way back to the winning column for the first time in 2026, defeating Bayer Leverkusen to the surprise of all Bundesliga fans.
Borussia Monchengladbach are in a similar state, with seven matches in a row without a win, and now just two points clear of the drop zone. This will be an interesting clash, as the Foals are one of the weakest hosts in the league, and Union are winless on the road since mid-December.
This will be a tight clash, and both sides need wins to regain their confidence, so we will go with BTTS as our primary pick.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Mainz (2:30pm)
Die Werkself finished their job in the Champions League for the time being, and now need to win some Bundesliga games if they are to finish in the top four.
Mainz escaped the drop zone with their wins at the start of the year, but the relegation threat remains, and this will be one of their hardest tasks until the end of the season. Given that they’ve only won once on the road since September, Bayer Leverkusen look like the team to back.
And based on Mainz’s recent goal-packed clashes, we anticipate a thrilling clash.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Mainz: Bayer Leverkusen to win, Over 2.5 goals
Hoffenheim vs. St Pauli (2:30pm)
Hoffenheim have an opportunity to strengthen their position in the top four after a rather surprising draw away at Koln.
St Pauli’s two wins in their last three matches almost had them escape the drop zone for the first time this season, but all of their good results this season have been at home. On the road, it is a completely different story, with one win in 12 matches this season.
Hoffenheim have been sensational at home this season and have eight wins in a row. They scored 3+ goals in seven of them.
Hoffenheim vs. St Pauli top betting tip: Hoffenheim to win, Over 2.5 goals
Werder Bremen vs. Heidenheim (2:30pm)
Werder Bremen welcomes Heidenheim in a tough battle for survival, as a loss could mean certain relegation for the visitors.
Both Werder and Heidenheim are still without a win in 2026, and this is precisely the easiest match for both teams until the end of the season.
This means that they will throw themselves into the fight for victory with all their might, and we expect goals. Nine of the ten matches between them since 2011 have featured over 2.5 goals, and eight of those have seen both teams score.
Werder Bremen vs. Heidenheim top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich (5:30pm)
Borussia Dortmund's only loss this season was against Bayern Munich, and since then, they have been unbeaten in 16 consecutive games.
The difference between the two teams is eight points, and a win for Bayern will almost certainly decide the title race, even though there are still 10 rounds to go after this one.
Unfortunately for the hosts, they haven’t won at home against Bayern since 2019, but their good form suggests that we will see at least one goal from them. Seven of their last 10 home games against the champions have included goals at both ends.
