Leverkusen v Heidenheim - Win / Draw / Win - home win
1 FC Heidenheim will have to be at their very best if they're to get anything at BayArena.

On Saturday, 25 have seen fit to tip Borussia Dortmund to claim victory over Sport-Club Freiburg at Signal Iduna Park. Taking advantage of best odds of 1.62 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be praying N. Şahin gets his tactics right and delivers that invaluable result.
Hoffenheim v RB Leipzig - Double Chance - away win or draw
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have consistently struggled against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2022, and RB Leipzig have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena could be another hard one for Pellegrino Matarazzo & co.
Stuttgart v VfL Bochum - Win / Draw / Win - home win
VfL Bochum 1848 will be under no illusions as to the scale of the task at hand as they visit Mercedes-Benz Arena. Home wins occur most of the time in the Bundesliga, and most would expect VfB Stuttgart and their coach Sebastian Hoeness will claim another one as they square up against Peter Zeidler's side on Saturday afternoon. 32 of KickOff's bettors have predicted that outcome, taking advantage of top odds of 1.30, and our 70.19 places a 70.19% chance of them being proved correct.
Wolfsburg v Union Berlin - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of FC Union Berlin have had lots of chances to test that theory this campaign. 7 of their side's encounters in the Bundesliga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Ralph Hasenhuttl and his VfL Wolfsburg side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this match on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
E.Frankfurt v W.Bremen - Win / Draw / Win - home win
SV Werder Bremen will have to be at their very best if they're to get anything at Commerzbank-Arena. Home wins occur frequently in the Bundesliga, and most would expect Eintracht Frankfurt and their coach D. Toppmöller will deliver exactly that as they face Ole Werner's side on Saturday evening. 18 of KO's tipsters have bet on the home win, taking advantage of best odds of 1.65, and KO's algorithm places a 58.27% chance of exactly that happening.
Holstein v Mainz - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Holstein Kiel will be looking to avoid adding to the 6 times they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this campaign when they square off against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday. Marcel Rapp's team already top the rest of the Bundesliga in that department, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss Bo Henriksen may not feel the same way, however.
B. M'gladbach v St. Pauli - Win / Draw / Win - home win
KickOff's tipsters have a strong feeling about this match, and the evidence to back it up. On Sunday, 17 have decided to bet on Borussia Monchengladbach to get the win versus FC St. Pauli at Borussia-Park. Backing the home win at odds of 1.85 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be keeping fingers crossed that Gerardo Seoane gets his tactics right and brings home that invaluable home win.
St. Pauli v Holstein - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Holstein Kiel will be looking to avoid adding to the 6 times they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this term when they take on FC St. Pauli on Friday. Marcel Rapp's players already lead the rest of the Bundesliga in that area, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss Alexander Blessin will be licking his lips, however.
Union Berlin v Leverkusen - Double Chance - away win or draw
FC Union Berlin simply have not been able to find a way past Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two teams have met on 7 occasions since 2021, and Bayer Leverkusen have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at An der Alten Forsterei could be a really difficult one for Bo Svensson & co.
RB Leipzig v Wolfsburg - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters travelling to Red Bull Arena this Saturday to watch RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg might already be fearing a boring afternoon, and with good reason. Marco Rose's charges have played their part in 3 goalless draws this term, the most of any team in the Bundesliga. Will anybody score? Bet against it at top odds of 15.00.
Freiburg v B. M'gladbach - Double Chance - home win or draw
Borussia Monchengladbach simply have not been able to find a way past Sport-Club Freiburg in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two clubs have met on 6 occasions since 2021, and Sport-Club Freiburg have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Schwarzwald-Stadion could be a tricky one for Gerardo Seoane & co.
Dortmund v Bayern - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday evening, then the clash between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich could be worth checking out. N. Şahin's team lead the Bundesliga in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 8 of their Bundesliga games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from Vincent Kompany's men could ruin the spectacle.
Mainz v Hoffenheim - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're particularly proud of, but 1. FSV Mainz 05 currently lead all opponents in the Bundesliga when it comes to games where they've been drawing at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 3 in 10 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test versus TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at Opel Arena on Sunday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.
Heidenheim v E.Frankfurt - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
1 FC Heidenheim will be concerned that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to claim victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday afternoon. D. Toppmöller's team have the best record in the Bundesliga when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (5 of their 10 matches), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for Frank Schmidt and his 1 FC Heidenheim charges at Voith-Arena.
