Bundesliga tipster
Ben Smith has provided his picks for the round, with each selection paired with the best available
Bundesliga betting odds.
Koln vs Wolfsburg
Both Koln and Wolfsburg have struggled for consistency this season and sit close to the relegation conversation.
A win for either side would ease the pressure in the short term, but neither inspires enough confidence to back outright in the match odds.
Goals look the safer angle. Both teams to score has landed in eight of Koln’s nine home matches, and when combined with over 2.5 goals, the bet offers a decent price.
Betting Tip: Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals - 7/8

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Leverkusen
Eintracht Frankfurt are without a win in seven across all competitions, a run that has brought a Champions League exit and left them nine points adrift of the qualification spots for next season.
Another defeat here would drop them eight points behind even the Conference League places, a worrying position given the volume of goals they continue to concede.
Bayer Leverkusen arrive in better shape and should have the edge.
Betting Tip: Bayer Leverkusen to Win - 13/10

GambleAware.org.Werder Bremen vs Borussia Monchengladbach
With only two points separating 10th and 15th, fixtures between teams in this bracket carry added importance, especially with 16th-placed Mainz showing improved form.
This is a must not lose game for both Werder Bremen and Borussia Monchengladbach, neither of whom have offered much going forward this season.
Caution is expected. Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Werder Bremen’s four home matches against bottom half opponents, making that the sensible angle here.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals - 6/5 Betway
Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin
Hoffenheim are riding a six-match winning run in the Bundesliga and their away form has been just as convincing as of late, with victories at Frankfurt and Werder Bremen in the last week.
Union Berlin sit in mid-table but are without a win in four, and there is little reason to side with them against an opponent in this sort of form. Hoffenheim look well-placed to continue their run here.
Betting Tip: Hoffenheim to Win - 17/20 Betway
Augsburg vs FC St. Pauli
Augsburg picked up an unlikely win away at Bayern Munich last week and it feels as though the market may have overreacted a touch here.
St. Pauli are no easy opponent. They have lost only two of their last eight matches in all competitions, both coming via late goals on the road.
They tend to keep games tight away from home and look capable of taking at least a point here.
Betting Tip: St. Pauli Double Chance - 5/6

RB Leipzig vs Mainz
RB Leipzig boast the second best home attack in the Bundesliga this season, while Mainz rank fourth from bottom defensively on their travels.
That makes the angle fairly clear, particularly with the hosts having won every home match against sides outside the top six at Red Bull Arena.
Goals look likely, and over 2.5 goals bringing the price to evens is more than acceptable here.
Betting Tip: Leipzig to Win & Over 2.5 Goals - Evens

GambleAware.org.Hamburger SV vs Bayern Munich
Clean sheets are becoming hard to come by for Bayern Munich. They have shut out only two opponents across their last ten Bundesliga matches, a weakness that was exposed in last week’s surprise defeat to Augsburg.
Vincent Kompany’s side usually respond well after setbacks and should do so again here, but it would be no surprise if they concede along the way.
Betting Tip: Bayern Munich to Win & Both Teams to Score - 13/10

VfB Stuttgart vs SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg’s away record would be a concern when assessing this fixture. They have been heavily beaten by Bayern Munich and comfortably dealt with by RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Koln, while even bottom side Heidenheim managed to beat them at home.
VfB Stuttgart’s home form has dipped slightly, but they remain firmly in the race for the Champions League places and should be capable of maintaining that push here.
Betting Tip: Stuttgart to Win - 8/11 Coral
Borussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim
Borussia Dortmund’s most recent home win was a narrow one against FC St. Pauli and required a 95th minute penalty to finally get over the line.
That scoreline does not tell the full story, though, as Dortmund created enough chances to have settled the contest much earlier.
There is no hesitation in siding with them on the Asian handicap at Signal Iduna Park, where they have been consistently reliable throughout the season.
Betting Tip: Borussia Dortmund -1.75 Asian Handicap - 17/20
