Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Bundesliga fixtures, including RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich.


B. Leverkusen vs. Schalke (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Bayer Leverkusen take on Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the hosts needing to win to keep any Champions League qualification hopes alive.

Schalke, meanwhile, have scored only one goal in their last seven matches as they edge closer to their inevitable relegation.

We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Schalke 04


We expect Wolf to have an instant impact in his new role at Leverkusen by gaining a comfortable victory against a dismal Schalke side.

With Harit and Hoppe combining in attack, though, it would be no surprise to see Schalke end their woes in front of goal against a leaky Leverkusen defence.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Wolfsburg vs. FC Koln (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Wolfsburg take on FC Koln in the Bundesliga, with the visitors in desperate need of a positive result to move outside of the relegation zone.

The Wolves, meanwhile, have opened up an eight-point gap inside the Champions League qualification positions, so will be looking to continue their momentum in terms of achieving their main objective.

We say: Wolfsburg 2-0 FC Koln


We expect Wolfsburg to be able to keep a Koln side lacking firepower at arm's length, with the Bundesliga's second strongest defence holding firm once again.

With Weghorst in attack, the Wolves always feel capable of scoring at least once in every match at the moment, which could prove enough to claim a crucial victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Augsburg vs. Hoffenheim (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Augsburg will leapfrog Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga table if they are victorious when the two sides meet on Saturday.

The clubs are currently separated by just a point in the standings, with Hoffenheim in 11th on 30 points and Augsburg in 13th on 29.

We say: Augsburg 2-2 Hoffenheim


Hoffenheim look to be the stronger side, but their matches have been notoriously hard to predict this season due to their inconsistent nature. Augsburg need a result, and with both sides leaking goals, we think that this one will be a high-scoring draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Dortmund vs. Frankfurt (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Fifth-placed takes on fourth when Borussia Dortmund host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Frankfurt hold a four-point lead over Dortmund in the table, so may view avoiding defeat as a positive step in terms of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club's history.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-2 Eintracht Frankfurt


With both sides far more comfortable attacking than they are defending, it is hard to envisage a low-scoring encounter between these teams.

A draw would suit Frankfurt in terms of maintaining their four-point lead over Dortmund, and we think they have enough about them to get it.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Mainz 05 vs. Arminia Bielefeld (Saturday, 2.30pm)

There is a huge game in the Bundesliga relegation battle on Saturday afternoon as Mainz 05 host Arminia Bielefeld.

Mainz are currently in 15th position, one point clear of the relegation playoff spot and two points ahead of Bielefeld, who are in 17th.

We say: Mainz 05 2-1 Arminia Bielefeld


Both teams will fancy their chances of winning this one, but we are backing Mainz to get all three points. There has been a real resurgence on the Rhine since the arrival of Svensson, Da Costa and Kohr in January, and we think that their winning run will continue against a Bielefeld side that lack matchwinners.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

RB Leipzig vs. Bayern (Saturday, 5.30pm)

RB Leipzig take on Bayern Munich in a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash on Saturday, with the hosts needing to win to close the gap on their title rivals.

Bayern currently have a four-point lead ahead of Leipzig, so may view avoiding defeat as a huge step towards claiming their ninth successive title.

We say: RB Leipzig 1-1 Bayern Munich


With both sides potentially starting without a recognised striker, it is tough to envisage as many goals as in the reverse fixture, especially with the amount at stake for both teams.

While the onus is more on Leipzig to win the match, they have only beaten Bayern once in 11 meetings, so may find the psychological hurdle too high to scale even without Lewandowski on the pitch.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Borussia M'bach vs. Freiburg (Saturday, 7.30pm)

Borussia Monchengladbach take on Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the hosts able to leapfrog their forthcoming opponents in the table with a victory.

The visitors have overperformed their expectations this season, currently occupying eighth place as they look to finish in the top half of Germany's top flight for the fifth time this century.

We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-1 Freiburg


We expect Gladbach to have gained some confidence by ending their losing run against Schalke last time out, but it may not prove enough to beat a stubborn Freiburg side.

It is likely to be an evenly-contested game; Gladbach clearly have more attacking firepower, but Freiburg are slick in transition and have the tools to hurt the hosts.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
