Games of the Week:

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayer Leverkusen:
It was a weekend of contrasts for Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen. After drawing 0-0 with Tottenham in the Champions League midweek, Frankfurt got smashed by Bochum, 3-0. Leverkusen finally escaped the relegation zone in Xabi Alonso’s first match, with a 4-0 win over Schalke.
Both teams play in the Champions League this week in crucial contests. Then, they’ll both be hoping to change their fortunes in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt come into this match in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings, while Leverkusen are languishing in 15th. Despite being the home team, Frankfurt are +190 underdogs in this Bundesliga showdown. Leverkusen, looking for their first winning streak of the season, are +130 favorites.
Notably, the home team has won the last ten meetings in all competitions. Still, Eintracht have just two wins in five home Bundesliga matches this season. They were also dreadful at home last season. Three or more goals have also been scored in nine of the last ten meetings. However, under three shows -130 odds for Saturday’s match.
Â
Union Berlin vs. Borussia Dortmund:
Union Berlin have continued their strong play and still lead the Bundesliga nine games into the season. They’ll host a confident Borussia Dortmund side on Sunday in what should be a great match to watch. Union sport the league’s best defense and have conceded just six goals in nine matches so far. Striker Sheraldo Becker is also among the top goal scorers in the Bundesliga, with six goals.
Still, Union are +200 underdogs for Sunday’s match but are favored to cover the ½-goal spread. They’re still unbeaten at home and show -150 odds to win or draw the match. Bundesliga betting tips mention that both Dortmund and Union have had just four of their nine matches go over 2½ goals total. Regardless, the over sits at -115 odds and Dortmund are coming off a 2-2 draw vs. Bayern.
That draw felt almost like a win as Anthony Modeste’s last minute equalizer sealed a two-goal comeback. Dortmund also defeated Sevilla 4-1 last week in the Champions League and are finding their shooting boots. BVB sit at +130 odds to win but have won just two of their last five Bundesliga matches.
Bayern Munich vs. SC Freiburg:
Freiburg’s Mark Flekken has kept the most clean sheets in the league, with five in nine games. SC Freiburg are also a formidable road team, with three wins and two draws. Bettors might like Freiburg at +950 odds given their recent form but this has been a rough fixture for them recently.
Second place takes on third as SC Freiburg head to Bavaria to take on Bayern Munich. Somehow Bayern have won just four of their nine matches this season, despite scoring a league-high 25 goals. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has been subject to criticism but the board are still backing him for now. The Bundesliga fixtures odds list Bayern at -370 odds to win and they’ve enjoyed this fixture recently. They’re unbeaten in the last 12 meetings and defeated Freiburg twice in 2021-22.
Freiburg’s Mark Flekken has kept the most clean sheets in the league, with five in nine games. SC Freiburg are also a formidable road team, with three wins and two draws. Bettors might like Freiburg at +950 odds given their recent form but this has been a rough fixture for them recently.
Bayern are expected to move forward from their blown lead at Dortmund and cover the spread here. The Bavarians show -150 odds to win by two or more goals. These teams play conflicting styles, which means totals betting is a bit risky. Defensive battles have been common in Freiburg matches, with just 2.44 goals per match, so far. Meanwhile, 3.67 goals per game have been scored in Bayern matches and they have no qualms about going at their opponents.
Other Games of Interest
If you like goals, you’ll love Werder Bremen. They’ve got the league’s top scorer, Niclas Fullkrug, who has eight goals in nine matches. Both teams have scored in seven of Werder’s nine games this season and they put five goals on Borussia Monchengladbach a couple of weeks back. This Saturday, they take on Mainz 05. Meanwhile, Mainz have conceded four times in a row. The Bundesliga fixtures odds price over 2½ at -125 for Werder vs. Mainz. Werder are also +145 favorites to win in this pick’em.
VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach both failed to reach their potential last season. Monchengladbach are within one point of the top four now but Wolfsburg have continued to disappoint. The odds are identical when they meet on Saturday as both Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach are priced at +160 odds. They’ve drawn in three of their last four head-to-head matches and another draw sits at +260 odds.
Both teams have also scored in seven of FC Koln’s nine matches this season. Last weekend, they conceded five goals on the road to Monchengladbach. That followed a 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund. Koln hope to get just their second clean sheet of the season when they host Augsburg on Sunday. It won’t be so easy, as Augsburg are on a four-game unbeaten run. Still, Koln are -145 favorites and, rather unsurprisingly, both teams are expected to score.
