Borussia Dortmund v FC Heidenheim

Friday, September 13 – 8:30pm CEST – Signal Iduna Park

League leaders Heidenheim have scored in 13 consecutive games, while Borussia Dortmund have netted in 15 of their last 16 outings. Given the competitive nature of these two sides, expect an end-to-end encounter, with the hosts ultimately grinding out a win.

TSG Hoffenheim v Bayer Leverkusen

Saturday, September 14 – 3:30pm CEST – PreZero Arena

Both level on three points, Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen will be eager to secure a win this weekend. Victorious on their last three trips to Hoffenheim, anticipate a win by the Bundesliga champions.

Borussia Monchengladbach v VfB Stuttgart

Saturday, September 14 – 3:30pm CEST – Borussia-Park

Stuttgart are winless this season while hosts Borussia Monchengladbach have one win from their first two games. Dominant in five of their last seven meetings at Borussia-Park, anticipate Gladbach to make it three consecutive home wins against Stuttgart.

RB Leipzig v Union Berlin

Saturday, September 14 – 3:30pm CEST – Leipzig Stadium

Third-placed RB Leipzig will be hoping to extend their winning run over Union Berlin, who are two places behind. On the scoresheet when the two sides met earlier this year, online bookmakers are paying -111.11 for Leipzig’s Lois Openda to strike against Union Berlin.

SC Freiburg v VfL Bochum

Saturday, September 14 – 3:30pm CEST – Europa-Park Stadion

Hosts Freiburg will be eager to collect all three points against Bochum, who are in the relegation zone after two defeats. As such, expect the hosts — who did the double on Bochum in the last term — to cruise to victory.

VfL Wolfsburg v Eintracht Frankfurt

Saturday, September 14 – 3:30pm CEST – Volkswagen Arena

Level on three points, both Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt will be aiming to secure maximum points this Saturday. Given that Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last four home games against Frankfurt — with two wins and two draws — anticipate a marginal win by the hosts.

Holstein Kiel v Bayern Munich

Saturday, September 14 – 6:30pm CEST – Holstein-Stadion

Bayern Munich will be hoping to extend their perfect start to the campaign with a win over newcomers Holstein Kiel, who have lost their first two games. Convincing thus far under Vincent Kompany, expect a dominant display by the all-time Bundesliga champions.

FC Augsburg v St. Pauli

Sunday, September 15 – 3:30pm CEST – WWK Arena

Hosts Augsburg will be looking to register their first win of the season over St. Pauli, who are at the foot of the table with two consecutive defeats. Despite both sides being winless, the hosts might prove too strong for the newly promoted side.

FSV Mainz v Werder Bremen

Sunday, September 15 – 5:30pm CEST – MEWA Arena

Level on points following two consecutive draws, both Mainz and Werder Bremen will be keen on registering their first wins of the season. Nevertheless, anticipate Bremen to steal a win, having beaten Mainz both home and away last season.
