Bundesliga stats and tips
Leverkusen v Hoffenheim - Win / Draw / Win - home win

B. M'gladbach v Freiburg - Both Teams To Score - yes
Sport-Club Freiburg followers have become used to drama at each end when their side plays in the Bundesliga, with both teams having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 5 matches. Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday afternoon should be another thriller.
E.Frankfurt v Union Berlin - Both Teams To Score - yes
Eintracht Frankfurt fans have become used to entertainment at each end when their side plays in the Bundesliga, with both teams having scored at least one goal in each of their last 6 matches. FC Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon may well be another ding-dong battle.
RB Leipzig v Mainz - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Each of RB Leipzig's last 9 Bundesliga outings has had two or more goals, suggesting that we could be in for a treat as they go head to head with 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday afternoon.
W.Bremen v Wolfsburg - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by SV Werder Bremen boss Ole Werner on Saturday. His side face VfL Wolfsburg having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Bundesliga matches.
Bayern v Dortmund - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We may have a high-scoring affair on our hands when Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund go head-to-head on Saturday evening in the Bundesliga. Thomas Tuchel and E. Terzic's sides have ample talent in attacking areas, and KO's well-informed members believe they will again at Allianz Arena. 5 of them have saved a bet the match to contain over 2.5 goals before full time. 1.25 is the highest price among the UK's top bookmakers for that bet, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
Augsburg v Köln - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal set of results for FC Koln and their supporters, with their last Bundesliga victory now coming 6 matches ago. Boss Timo Schultz needs to find a way out, and preferably right away. Will FC Augsburg at WWK Arena on Sunday be the one in which they turn it around?
Stuttgart v Heidenheim - Half Time / Full Time - home / home
Fans of the half time/full time market should pay attention to VfB Stuttgart. Sebastian Hoeness's side has been remarkably commanding in recent Bundesliga games, holding the lead at HT in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at full time. 1 FC Heidenheim on Sunday afternoon can't come soon enough.
VfL Bochum v Darmstadt - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's exactly what must be done by VfL Bochum 1848 boss Thomas Letsch on Sunday. His side face SV Darmstadt 98 having been beaten in each of their last 4 Bundesliga matches.
