Bundesliga Matchday 20 betting picks & top soccer odds

Bundesliga 2024-25 enters Matchday 20 with several thrilling encounters. Stuttgart will host Borussia Monchengladbach, while Wolfsburg will be on the road against Eintracht Frankfurt. Here are our free soccer betting predictions for this weekend’s fixtures in the German top flight.

SV Werder Bremen v FSV Mainz

Friday, January 31 – 8:30pm CET – Weser Stadium

Werder Bremen are ninth with 27 points, while Mainz are three positions higher with four more points. Expect the hosts to prevail for the fourth consecutive time in this closely contested matchup.

FC Heidenheim v Borussia Dortmund

Saturday, February 1 – 3:30pm CET – Voith-Arena

After slipping to 11th following their four-game winless run, Borussia Dortmund will be set on making a quick recovery against Heidenheim, who are in the danger zone. Runaway winners during their midweek Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk, BVB should do the season double on their hosts.

Bayern Munich v Holstein Kiel

Saturday, February 1 – 3:30pm CET – Allianz Arena

On an impressive five-game win streak, league leaders Bayern Munich will be seeking to advance their title hopes against newcomers Holstein Kiel, who are second from bottom. Michael Olise has scored nine goals for the Bavarians, and the French international is a decent pick to add to his tally.

VfL Bochum v SC Freiburg

Saturday, February 1 – 3:30pm CET – Vonovia Ruhrstadion

Down to 10th after three consecutive defeats, Freiburg will be eager to bounce back against bottom-placed Bochum, who have only secured two wins in their first 19 Bundesliga games. The visitors have dominated this fixture, and should cruise to a seventh consecutive win over the Blues.

FC St Pauli v FC Augsburg

Saturday, February 1 – 3:30pm CET – Millerntor-Stadion

St Pauli are 13th on the table after successive wins over Heidenheim and Union Berlin, while Augsburg are five points ahead after a three-game win streak. Given Augsburg’s poor form on the road, the Kiezkicker are well positioned to triumph on home soil.

VfB Stuttgart vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Saturday, February 1 – 3:30pm CET – MHP Arena

Sitting fourth after winning five of their last seven games, Stuttgart will be aiming to come out on top against Monchengladbach, who have won one of their last four. Triumphant in three of their last four meetings, back the hosts to edge out this encounter.

Union Berlin v RB Leipzig

Saturday, February 1 – 6:30pm CET – Stadion An der Alten Forsterei

Winless in their last three, fifth-placed Leipzig will be looking to return to winning ways against Berlin, who have only triumphed in one of their last 12 Bundesliga outings. Lois Openda, with 10 goals this season, remains a top pick to score at any time for Leipzig.

Eintracht Frankfurt v VfL Wolfsburg

Sunday, February 2 – 3:30pm CET – Deutsche Bank Park

Eintracht Frankfurt, in third, will back themselves against seventh-placed Wolfsburg, who have failed to win their last two. Victorious in their last encounter, back the hosts to secure all three points.

Bayer Leverkusen v TSG Hoffenheim

Sunday, February 2 – 5:30pm CET – BayArena

Second-placed Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to solidify their title defence against 15th-placed Hoffenheim, who have only managed one win from their last eight games. Patrik Schick has scored 12 goals in his last eight Bundesliga matches, and top sports betting sites are paying +105 for the Leverkusen forward to extend that streak.
