Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Bayern Munich and FC St. Pauli go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon in the Bundesliga.

B. M'gladbach v RB Leipzig - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Borussia Monchengladbach's recent Bundesliga games have been full of goalmouth drama. All of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against RB Leipzig may well deliver more of the same. Fans of both sides will be hoping that Gerardo Seoane and Marco Rose send their lads out to attack.
Holstein v W.Bremen - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when Holstein Kiel and SV Werder Bremen face off on Saturday afternoon in the Bundesliga. Marcel Rapp and Ole Werner's XIs are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KO's community of users believe they will again at Holstein-Stadion. 5 of them are tipping there to be 3 goals or more in total. 1.73 is the most-enticing price we've found for that suggestion, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
Hoffenheim v Augsburg - Double Chance - away win or draw
Jess Thorup and his FC Augsburg troops have found a convenient knack of claiming something from almost every Bundesliga match they play. They're unbeaten in 10 in the Bundesliga now, so Christian Streich and his TSG 1899 Hoffenheim charges will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at DnB NOR Arena on Saturday.
Wolfsburg v Heidenheim - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when VfL Wolfsburg and 1 FC Heidenheim go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon in the Bundesliga. Ralph Hasenhuttl and Frank Schmidt's teams have ample talent in attacking areas, and KO's smart bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Volkswagen Arena. 5 of them have backed the fixture to deliver over 2.5 goals in total. 1.67 is the most-enticing price we've found for this suggestion, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
E.Frankfurt v Stuttgart - Both Teams To Score - yes
VfB Stuttgart fans have come to expect drama at each end when their side plays in the Bundesliga, with both sides having scored in every one of their last 7 games. Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday evening may well be another goal-fest.
Freiburg v Union Berlin - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A home win seems to be the most popular pick among the wise and well-informed members of KickOff as Sport-Club Freiburg and FC Union Berlin clash in the Bundesliga on Sunday. No less than 20 have bet on it, with highest odds of 2.00 proving to be enticing enough for many.
Dortmund v Mainz - Double Chance - away win or draw
Weeks have passed since 1. FSV Mainz 05’s merry fans watched their team suffer defeat in the Bundesliga. Bo Henriksen’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 matches, and he'll be telling them that they can extend that run against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday afternoon. Best value odds of 2.15 can be taken advantage of to back 1. FSV Mainz 05 to avoid defeat yet again.
Augsburg v Bayern - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Jess Thorup won't be looking forward to facing Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Friday. Vincent Kompany's side have been winning at HT and gone on to claim victory at FT in more games than any other side in the the Bundesliga this season - 14 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a tough evening for FC Augsburg, and that backing Bayern Munich in the halftime fulltime market could be a great shout at odds of 2.20.
Heidenheim v Leverkusen - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
1 FC Heidenheim will be aware that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon. Xabi Alonso's side have the best record in the Bundesliga when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (13 of their 26 matches), so defence first might be the best course of action for Frank Schmidt and his 1 FC Heidenheim charges at Voith-Arena.
Mainz v Holstein - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Holstein Kiel and 1. FSV Mainz 05 could be one to watch. Marcel Rapp's team lead the Bundesliga in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 20 of their Bundesliga games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from Bo Henriksen's men could ruin the spectacle.
RB Leipzig v Hoffenheim - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Fans heading to Red Bull Arena this Saturday to watch RB Leipzig and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim might already be fearing a long afternoon, and who could blame them? Marco Rose's men have produced 6 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, the highest number of any team in the Bundesliga. Will either side score? You can bet against it at leading odds of 17.00.
Freiburg v Dortmund - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Borussia Dortmund have enjoyed meeting Sport-Club Freiburg in the Bundesliga recently, with a run of 6 straight wins against them. J. Schuster will be desperate to stop the rot, while Niko Kalliokoski will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday afternoon.
W.Bremen v E.Frankfurt - Double Chance - away win or draw
SV Werder Bremen have consistently struggled against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2022, and Eintracht Frankfurt have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Weser-Stadion could be another hard one for Ole Werner & co.
St. Pauli v B. M'gladbach - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of FC St. Pauli have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 19 of their side's encounters in the Bundesliga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Gerardo Seoane and his Borussia Monchengladbach team be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this match on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?
Union Berlin v Wolfsburg - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at An der Alten Forsterei may be fully expecting goals galore on Sunday, and rightly so if VfL Wolfsburg's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 20 of their 26 Bundesliga fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
