Bundesliga Predictions and Tips

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Borussia Dortmund

It's always entertaining when these teams get together, and this week's clash shouldn't be any different. These teams will go head to head on Saturday the 8th, at 17:30 German time. As always, we've analyzed this game in detail and made our selections for the best-betting markets available.

Borussia Dortmund to win

While Leverkusen is at home on Saturday, Dortmund have been in destructive form recently. They have scored 5 goals in each of their last 3 games, which is just breath-taking form. Although when you've got players like Mario Gotze leading the pack for your strikers, there's always going to be some magic that happens.

While they have scored 15 total goals in the last 3 games, we don't think that Saturday's game will follow the same trend. Leverkusen is much stronger opposition than they have recently faced, as they currently stand in 5th place in the Bundesliga.

Both teams to score

We'd be amazed if there weren't several goals scored in this game, as Dortmund have netted 15 times in their last 3, and Leverkusen have netted 9 times in their last 3. Of course, these two teams are more evenly matched than the sides that either have faced recently, but they both clearly know how to score goals.

While guessing the correct score of any football game can be difficult, we would probably shoot with a 2-1, 3-1, or even a 3-2 win in favour of Dortmund. This is, of course, depending on many things such as the starting line up, the conditions of the day, if any injuries occur between now and Saturday - but the markets mentioned above will provide some appealing odds as well as a high chance of actually happening.

Bayern Munich v Leipzig

Bayern Munich is a force of nature in the Bundesliga, and Leipzig, well, they have been playing extraordinarily well this season. This is a battle of Munich at the top, and Leipzig in 2nd place, so it promises to provide some top quality football.

The game will be played on Sunday, February 9th, and kick-off is at 17:00 German time. Bayern Munich is at home, which will undoubtedly give them an edge, and we've hunted down some of the top markets for this game.

Lewandowski to score, Bayern Munich to win

Since Lewandowski has been in sensational scoring form this season, combined with how well Bayern Munich has been performing, on the whole, we feel this is a very likely occurrence on Sunday's game. Lewandowski has hit the back of the net 22 times this season, and his score rate is an average of 1 goal every 81 minutes.

With a football game being just 90 minutes, this would, in theory, mean that he will grab one this game. Of course, this is no guarantee, but it's highly likely.

Half time/full time - Bayern/Bayern

Bayern are the favourites for this game as the odds stand, so you won't get an awful lot of value from just picking them to win. However, with the half time/full-time markets you can get very appealing odds. For this event to be correct, Bayern Munich does need to be leading at both half time and full-time, resulting in them winning the game.

It may seem a little risky, but Bayern have proved so prolific in front of goal this season that they could grab a goal or two early on for sure. They are also excellent front runners in games, so after the first one or two has been netted they will more often than not go on to win the game.
