Bundesliga stats and tips
Dortmund v Mainz - Win / Draw / Win - home win
1. FSV Mainz 05 will be feeling hopeful yet realistic as they prepare for a trip to Signal Iduna Park. Home victories occur regularly in the Bundesliga, and most would expect Borussia Dortmund and their coach N. Kovač will deliver another one as they do battle with U. Fischer's troops on Friday evening. 18 of KO's tipsters have predicted that outcome, with best odds of 1.60, and KickOff's predictive algorithm suggests there's 61.69% chance of exactly that happening.
Leverkusen v St. Pauli - Win / Draw / Win - home win
There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in K. Hjulmand and his ability to deliver victory for Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon. 6 have backed him to inspire his lads to win against FC St. Pauli. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?
E.Frankfurt v B. M'gladbach - Both Teams To Score - yes
Eintracht Frankfurt supporters have been spoilt with drama at each end when their team plays in the Bundesliga, with both sides having scored in all of their last 7 matches. Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday afternoon may well be another thriller.
Hamburg v Union Berlin - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your football club can be hard going, and FC Union Berlin’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by S. Baumgart, is now winless in their previous 6 Bundesliga matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Hamburger SV at Volksparkstadion on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition boss M. Polzin to extend the run by guiding his team to a positive result can be backed at best odds of 1.40.
W.Bremen v Bayern - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Top-level football may generally have fewer away wins than home wins, but KO's wise old hive of users are fully expecting one as V. Kompany and his Bayern Munich side arrive at Weser-Stadion on Saturday afternoon. 12 of these tipsters are betting that D. Thioune's SV Werder Bremen will have to endure defeat with their own fans watching on. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.
Hoffenheim v Freiburg - Both Teams To Score - yes
When TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Sport-Club Freiburg have met in the Bundesliga, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 6 clashes, so the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena crowd will be expecting another thriller on Saturday afternoon.
Stuttgart v Köln - Double Chance - home win or draw
FC Koln simply have not been able to find a way past VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and VfB Stuttgart have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Mercedes-Benz Arena could be another hard one for L. Kwasniok & co.
Augsburg v Heidenheim - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of 1 FC Heidenheim boss F. Schmidt on Sunday. His team faces FC Augsburg having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Bundesliga games.
RB Leipzig v Wolfsburg - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming clash between VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig could be worth a look. D. Bauer's side have lost 8 games this term in which both clubs have scored. That's a record in the Bundesliga.
Mainz v Hamburg - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring matches aren't always boring, but fans of 1. FSV Mainz 05 have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 10 of their side's matches in the Bundesliga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will M. Polzin and his Hamburger SV side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this match on Friday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Bayern v E.Frankfurt - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Allianz Arena may be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and rightly so if Eintracht Frankfurt's past record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 16 of their 21 Bundesliga fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Köln v Hoffenheim - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
FC Koln will know that 1 goal probably won't be enough to get the win against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon. C. Ilzer's side have the best record in the Bundesliga when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (9 of their 21 outings), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action for L. Kwasniok and his FC Koln team at RheinEnergieStadion.
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 clubs have played on 10 occasions since 2021, and Bayer Leverkusen have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at An der Alten Forsterei could be another hard one for S. Baumgart & co.
Wolfsburg v Augsburg - Double Chance - away win or draw
VfL Wolfsburg have found something of a bogey team in FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two clubs have met on 8 occasions since 2022, and FC Augsburg have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Volkswagen Arena could be another hard one for D. Bauer & co.
RB Leipzig v Dortmund - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
O. Werner won't be too excited about the prospect of playing Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday. N. Kovač's side have led at the break and gone on to claim victory at fulltime in more games than any other team in the the Bundesliga this term - 12 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a demoralising evening for RB Leipzig, and that backing Borussia Dortmund in the halftime fulltime market could be a great shout at odds of 4.00.
Freiburg v B. M'gladbach - Double Chance - home win or draw
Borussia Monchengladbach have consistently struggled against Sport-Club Freiburg in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 9 occasions since 2021, and Sport-Club Freiburg have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Schwarzwald-Stadion could be a tricky one for E. Polanski & co.
St. Pauli v W.Bremen - Double Chance - away win or draw
FC St. Pauli have found something of a bogey team in SV Werder Bremen in the league in recent years. The two sides have met on 5 occasions since 2021, and SV Werder Bremen have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Millerntor-Stadion could be a tricky one for A. Blessin & co.
Heidenheim v Stuttgart - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
1 FC Heidenheim will be hoping not to add to the 9 matches they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this term when they take on VfB Stuttgart on Sunday. F. Schmidt's team already top the rest of the Bundesliga in that category, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss S. Hoeneß may not feel the same way, however.
Hamburg v Leverkusen - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Entertainment is the name of the game, and there's reason to expect plenty of it when Hamburger SV and Bayer Leverkusen clash on Tuesday evening in the Bundesliga. M. Polzin and K. Hjulmand's squads are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's hive of bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Volksparkstadion. 19 of them are betting on the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more before full time. 1.62 is the top price we've found for this suggestion, and it's definitely one we like the look for too.
