Bundesliga 2021/22 Matchweek 34 betting picks & best value bets

Bayer Leverkusen hosts SC Freiburg in a battle between two top-five clubs in the Bundesliga standings this Saturday. Here’s a preview of that match along with our top picks in Union Berlin vs VfL Bochum and VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich in Matchweek 34 – this final round of the Bundesliga season.

Union Berlin vs VfL Bochum

Union Berlin (15-9-9) extended its unbeaten streak to six games with an impressive 4-1 win on the road over SC Freiburg last Saturday. Berlin has climbed up to sixth place on the Bundesliga table with this 5-1-0 run, which is the longest active unbeaten streak in the league. VfL Bochum (12-6-15) meanwhile has earned back-to-back wins over Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld since going 1-1-4 over its previous six matches.

This is a game that Union Berlin obviously should win at home. But with betting odds of -240 on the three-way line, there just isn’t any value on the home team in this spot. Instead, we’re going to take a shot on Bochum as a +1.25 underdog on the two-way line. A multi-goal loss obviously wouldn’t come as a surprise, but neither would a one goal loss or a draw. VfL Bochum has impressive recent road upsets over Dortmund and Hoffenheim and is getting the right price to bet on in this one.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich (24-4-5) capped off a five-game winning streak and a 7-2-0 unbeaten streak with a 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund last month to secure the club’s tenth straight Bundesliga championship. Bayern hasn’t won since then with 3-1 loss on the road to Mainz 05 and a 2-2 draw at home against VfB Stuttgart.

VfL Wolfsburg (12-5-16) is 2-1-0 over its last three matches. Wolfsburg also enters this Saturday’s match coming with two straight blowout wins at home of 4-0 over Arminia and 5-0 over Mainz. Needless to say, Bayern Munich would roll to an easy win over a team like VfL Wolfsburg with its best effort, like we saw in a 4-0 blowout win earlier this year. But with Wolfsburg playing well and Bayern already having the league title locked up, we’ll take the home team as a 1.25-goal underdog on the two-way line.

Bayer Leverkusen vs SC Freiburg

Bayer Leverkusen (18-7-8) picked up a third straight win with last Saturday’s 4-2 road victory over Hoffenheim. Patrik Schick has been red-hot for Leverkusen with four goals over the club’s current three-match winning streak. SC Freiburg (15-10-8) had a four-match unbeaten streak of 3-1-0 snapped with their 4-1 loss to Union Berlin last weekend.

While the total is set sky-high at 3.5 goals for this match, we’re still leaning towards the OVER in this spot. SC Freiburg has allowed at least three goals in each of its last three matches and has scored three goals or more in three of its last four games. Freiburg’s last six games have produced an average of 4.8 goals per game. Facing a club in Bayer Leverkusen that will be comfortable in a shootout type of match, look for a fast pace from the start and a high-scoring affair in each team’s final game of the 2021-22 season.
