Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Bundesliga fixtures, including Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Monchengladbach.

RB Leipzig vs. Wolfsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

RB Leipzig host Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Having failed to win any of their opening three matches, both sides will be aiming to end that run when they face each other this weekend.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-0 Wolfsburg

We expect Leipzig to record their first victory of the season on Saturday, with Wolfsburg lacking sharpness in transition to significantly hurt the home side.

Tedesco's side have been dominating games without testing opposition goalkeepers enough, but that should change in front of an expectant Red Bull Arena.

Mainz 05 vs. B. Leverkusen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Two teams at opposite ends of the Bundesliga table are set to meet on Saturday when Mainz 05 look to continue their impressive start to the campaign by facing Bayer Leverkusen at home.

The hosts are undefeated in their opening three matches, and currently sit fourth, meanwhile, the visitors are yet to pick up a single point this season.

We say: Mainz 05 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen

The visitors might be a team that a lot of fans have high expectations of this season, but so far it has been a tough campaign for Bayer Leverkusen, and they head into this one with low confidence.

That is the opposite for Mainz, particularly when it comes to games at home, which is why they will walk into this one as the firm favourites.

Hoffenheim vs. Augsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Hoffenheim will have the opportunity to extend their winning streak to three games in a row on Saturday when they welcome Augsburg to Rhein-Neckar Arena.

The visitors have had a mixed start to the season across the opening matches with two defeats and a victory, with the focus now being on bringing in some consistency.

We say: Hoffenheim 2-1 Augsburg

Hoffenheim have been the entertainers early on in the 2022-23 Bundesliga campaign, with their games typically being full of goals that showcases their attacking prowess.

The visitors have had mixed success in their opening three matches, and this weekend could be another tough challenge for them.

Hertha Berlin vs. Dortmund (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Hertha Berlin take on Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Both teams will be looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats last time out.

We say: Hertha Berlin 1-3 Borussia Dortmund

We expect Dortmund to bounce back with a victory on Saturday, with a potential change in formation likely to suit their set of players.

Defensively, they were too wide open considering that they had a two-goal lead against Bremen, so they should have a better balance and too much overall strength for a struggling Hertha side.

Schalke vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Schalke 04 take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors have an opportunity to move top of the table by winning, as the two sides above them in the table - Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach - do not play until they meet each other later on Saturday evening.

We say: Schalke 04 1-2 Union Berlin

With the visitors preferring to play in transition, we can envisage them gaining another victory on Saturday to potentially move top of the table.

Schalke have remained competitive in the early weeks of the campaign but could find themselves caught between two stools in front of a demanding home crowd.

Bayern Munich host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga's Saturday evening fixture.

The two sides head into the weekend as the top two sides in the table, with reigning champions Bayern boasting the only 100% record in the division after three matches.

We say: Bayern Munich 3-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

Despite Gladbach's strong form heading into this fixture and their shock win at the Allianz Arena in January, we expect the Bavarians to be too strong for them in the end this time around.

Goals seem likely with both teams usually deploying expansive styles, and we expect Gladbach to make Bayern work harder for their victory than most teams will this season.
