Sunday's Bundesliga predictions including Augsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for both of today's Bundesliga fixtures - VfL Bochum vs. RB Leipzig and Augsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund.

RB Leipzig will be looking to tighten their grip on a top-four spot in the Bundesliga when they travel to VfL Bochum on Sunday.

The visitors have maintained their fine start to 2022 with back-to-back victories both domestically and in Europe over the past week, whilst the hosts extended their unbeaten run last weekend to pull further away from danger.

We say: VfL Bochum 1-2 RB Leipzig


Despite Bochum's solid form of late, Leipzig should possess too much for them in this meeting on Sunday, with the visitors in fine form since the turn of the year, particularly in front of goal.

We believe the hosts will push them all the way though, with Reis's side proving a tough side to beat in recent weeks, as Bayern found out in the last fixture at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion two weeks ago.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Augsburg vs. Dortmund (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to put their disappointing Europa League exit behind them when they return to Bundesliga action at Augsburg on Sunday.

The visitors remain well in the title race despite their poor showings in Europe, whilst the hosts continued their poor run of form by suffering another defeat last weekend to leave them fighting for survival.

We say: Augsburg 1-2 Borussia Dortmund


Were Haaland fit enough to play a big part on Sunday, we would be predicting a comfortable Dortmund victory, but with their talisman likely to be missing, these are the types of games that Dortmund tend to slip up in.

The visitors coped well without Haaland in their demolition of Gladbach last week, and if they can replicate that clinical form on Sunday, then they should have enough in them to see off a struggling Augsburg side.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
