For some Bundesliga teams, the remaining matches don’t matter, but for others, every game is a mini-final that could decide their fate.
St Pauli can still avoid relegation, but they must win all three of their remaining matches. The same goes for Wolfsburg, though they face a far tougher opponent this weekend. Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are fighting for second place and can secure it as early as this weekend.
We see at least three reasons to watch the Bundesliga matches on Sunday. That’s why we’ve prepared expert tips and predictions for every match.
Today’s Bundesliga betting tips & predictions
St Pauli vs. Mainz (2:30pm)
It’s not too late yet, but St. Pauli don’t look like a team capable of turning things around, having failed to win any of their last seven matches.
Mainz are in equally poor form and have secured a mid-table finish. They certainly didn’t play badly in their recent 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich, but their defense conceded too many goals yet again.
Urs Fischer will likely motivate them to finish the season strongly, given how impressive they were before this slump. We’ll give them a chance, but we recommend placing only small bets if you join us in this risk.
St Pauli vs. Mainz top betting tip: Mainz to win
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Borussia Dortmund (4:30pm)
Borussia Monchengladbach has nothing to play for except a finish in the top half of the table. Borussia Dortmund have secured a top-four finish, but still need to cement their second-place position.
We can’t say that BVB are the most consistent team, given their recent losses followed by a resounding 4-0 victory over Freiburg. Anything can be expected from them right now.
Gladbach have drawn four of their last five matches, but they’re scoring more goals than usual. Both teams are similarly free of pressure, which leads us to expect goals—a standard outcome for their head-to-head matches.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Borussia Dortmund top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Freiburg vs. Wolfsburg (6:30pm)
Wolfsburg are just one loss away from relegation, and Freiburg are definitely a team that could hand them that loss.
But we shouldn’t overlook the fact that the hosts are in the Europa League semifinals and lost their first match on Thursday. The rematch is coming up in a few days, and they may not be fully focused on their Bundesliga match.
Considering all the factors and the importance of this match for Wolfsburg, plus their overall bad form, we’re backing Both Teams to Score.
