Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen

Friday, September 26 – 8:30pm CEST – Allianz Arena

Bayern Munich have been dominant at home and create chances early and often. Werder Bremen struggle to defend long spells without the ball and have conceded nine goals in their last three games in Munich. If Bayern score early, they will win by a big margin.

Mainz vs Borussia Dortmund

Saturday, September 27 – 3:30pm CEST – MEWA ARENA

Mainz press hard in attack but leave space behind. Borussia Dortmund have more match-winners and are dangerous on counters, which gives them a big edge in this clash. If Dortmund limit mistakes at the back, they are a great bet at +115 with top soccer betting sites.

Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig

Saturday, September 27 – 3:30pm CEST – WWK ARENA

Wolfsburg are solid at home, but RB Leipzig’s speed in wide areas often creates clear chances. In two Bundesliga matches last season, these two combined for 11 goals. Expect a lively game with both teams pushing for goals.

St. Pauli vs Bayer Leverkusen

Saturday, September 27 – 3:30pm CEST – Millerntor-Stadion

St. Pauli have been in great form recently, winning two of their last three, while Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in the same period. Leverkusen move the ball quickly and punish turnovers against lesser teams. Both sides have scored at least one goal in seven of their eight combined games.

FC Heidenheim vs Augsburg

Saturday, September 27 – 3:30pm CEST – Voith-Arena

Both FC Heidenheim and Augsburg favor a direct style and rely on set pieces. Heidenheim have struggled to find the back of the net, with two goals from four games. Meanwhile, Augsburg have scored seven goals this campaign. Back the road team to get the job done.

Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Saturday, September 27 – 6:30pm CEST – BORUSSIA-PARK

Borussia Mönchengladbach have been very inconsistent this season and are yet to claim a win. Eintracht Frankfurt have two wins and two losses from four games, scoring the second most goals (11), only behind Bayern Munich (18). Frankfurt must win this game to stay in touch with the top three.

Freiburg vs TSG Hoffenheim

Sunday, September 28 – 3:30pm CEST – Europa-Park Stadion

Freiburg are a well-organized outfit and are in the midst of a three-game win streak in all competitions. TSG Hoffenheim have split their first four games, winning two and losing two, playing out high-scoring affairs. In their last four meetings, they have combined for 15 goals.

FC Köln vs VfB Stuttgart

Sunday, September 28 – 5:30pm CEST – RheinEnergieSTADION

FC Köln suffered their first defeat of the season at RB Leipzig last weekend; however, they still sit inside the top four. VfB Stuttgart bounced back from a defeat with a 2-0 win over St. Pauli and moved into eighth place. These two play attacking soccer and create plenty of chances.

Union Berlin vs Hamburger SV

Sunday, September 28 – 7:30pm CEST – An der Alten Försterei

Union Berlin will host Hamburger SV in the last fixture of the Matchday, with both teams coming off narrow wins last weekend. Both squads have weak defenses, conceding 19 goals combined. Expect a high-scoring clash.
