The German Bundesliga punts were sorely missed during the international break, and we get to continue witnessing Bayer Leverkusen’s run against league juggernauts Bayern Munich.
Friday, 24 November
8/1 Cologne | Draw 54/10 | Bayern Munich 1/4 (21:30)
Kicking off the weekend we see an already disappointing Cologne battle Bayern Munich on home soil. The Billy Goats are no match for high flying title defenders, and the value here is based on previous head-to-head results. Both teams to score (yes) has happened in seven of their last 10 encounters – 6/10.
Saturday, 25 November
9/20 Borussia Dortmund | Draw 4/1 | Monchengladbach 44/10 (16:30)
Die Borussen Derby! Monchengladbach found a massive 4-0 victory, while Dortmund suffered an upset 2-1 loss to Stuttgart. The odds make no sense in my opinion as this game has swung either way in recent times, with four of the last five games recording six or more goals, the over 3.5 market is as certain as they come at 9/10.
11/20 Freiburg | Draw 32/10 | Darmstadt 42/10 (16:30)
Darmstadt ended their three-match losing streak with a boring 0-0 draw against fellow bottom dwellers Mainz, and now they encounter a rearing to go Freiburg who’s last five fixtures included facing Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, M’Gladbach and RB Leipzig. Back the home side.
19/20 Union Berlin | Draw 39/10 | Augsburg 26/10 (16:30)
Three wins across all competitions for Union Berlin, and those three victories all came in a row at the start of the season – no win since August. Draw no bet in favour of the away team at 16/10.
46/10 Werder Bremen | Draw 29/10 | Bayer Leverkusen 17/20 (16:30)
Bayer Leverkusen are purring like a well-oiled machine. Five of their players are on five assists, showing that the team’s passing game is up there among the best, and Werder have suffered even while implementing a low block this season. Back the away team in all multiples.
11/4 Wolfsburg | Draw 29/10 | RB Leipzig 17/20 (16:30)
RB Leipzig’s away form has been a little shaky at times, with their most recent trip being a 2-0 loss to a struggling Mainz, while Wolfsburg’s only loss at home came at the hands of top of the table Bayer Leverkusen. I’d stay out of this one, but if must have a punt I’d back the draw.
31/20 Eintracht Frankfurt | Draw 51/20 | Stuttgart 15/10 (19:30)
While Stuttgart finds themselves at the top of the table (third), Eintracht Frankfurt are on top of their game undefeated in their last five league fixtures scoring 13 goals and conceding six. A lofty attempt, but Frankfurt on the win is a value bet of the weekend.
Sunday, 26 November
5/4 Heidenheim | Draw 5/2 | Bochum 19/10 (16:30)
Kicking off Sunday, 14th placed Bochum tussle it out with 13th placed Heidenheim to distance themselves from the bottom of the table. While neither team inspires any confidence on the tip, Bochum’s three match unbeaten (albeit one win and two draws) run seems favourable. Back the away team.
19/20 Hoffenheim | Draw 11/4 | Mainz 24/10 (18:30)
Closing out the weekend, Hoffenheim look the probable winners win they encounter 16th placed Mainz after recording an unfortunate 3-2 loss to Leverkusen and a hard fought 1-1 draw last time out.
DOUBLE @ 38/10
Augsburg Draw no bet 16/10
Leverkusen Win 17/20
