Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Tuesday's Bundesliga fixtures, including Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia M'bach vs. Werder Bremen (Tuesday, 5.30pm)

Borussia Monchengladbach take on Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Tuesday, with the hosts able to gain ground on their Champions League qualification rivals Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen given that they meet each other later on in the same evening.

Bremen, meanwhile, earned a hugely significant late win against Augsburg on Saturday to move six points clear of the bottom three in the table.

We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 Werder Bremen

We can envisage a narrow victory for Gladbach, who need to gain ground on fourth-placed Dortmund ahead of their upcoming fixture against Edin Terzic's side.

Bremen are undoubtedly tougher to beat than last season, though, and will not be easy to break down.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Bayer Leverkusen take on Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Tuesday, with both sides level on points in third and fourth place respectively in the table.

With Bayern Munich extending their gap to seven points ahead of these two teams, neither club can afford to lose this upcoming clash if they are to keep their slim title hopes alive.

We say: Bayer Leverkusen 0-1 Borussia Dortmund

We can envisage Dortmund narrowly overcoming their top four rivals, with the likes of Haaland, Marco Reus and Jadon Sancho likely to hurt Leverkusen on the counter-attack.

Despite both sides possessing plenty of attacking talent, though, it could be a cagey encounter with so much at stake.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Hertha Berlin vs. Hoffenheim (Tuesday, 7.30pm)

Hertha Berlin take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Tuesday, with the two sides separated by a solitary point in the bottom half of the table.

Indeed, along with Schalke 04, these are probably two of the under-achieving teams in the division so far this season, so both clubs are in desperate need of a victory.

We say: Hertha Berlin 2-1 Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim simply have too many players injured to be as competitive as they could be, with Vogt's latest injury potentially a major blow to their hopes of gaining a result at Hertha.

Cordoba, Cunha and Dodi Lukebakio should pose plenty of problems in transition, and we can see their pace and power earning the hosts a vital win.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Mainz 05 vs. Wolfsburg (Tuesday, 7.30pm)

Mainz 05 entertain Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Tuesday, with the hosts boosted by moving off the foot of the table with an excellent 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, failed to close the gap to Dortmund in fourth after drawing 2-2 at home to RB Leipzig.

We say: Mainz 05 1-2 Wolfsburg

We can envisage Wolfsburg having too much firepower for Mainz, but it should be a closely-fought affair.

Wolfsburg can move level on points with Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League qualification places, though, so there is plenty of motivation for both sides.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
