As the business end of the season approaches, the Bundesliga odds get even tighter with all teams fighting their own battles. At the top, Dortmund keep finding positive results to apply immense pressure on Bayern.
Friday 14 April
Schalke 13/10 | Draw 24/10 | Hertha Berlin 21/10 (20:30)
Kicking off the Bundesliga action this Friday, a bottom-of-the-table clash between 18th-placed Schalke and 17th-place Hertha Berlin ensues. With just seven remaining fixtures, this could well and truly be the relegation decider. Neither side look up for the fight based on recent form and a draw is highly possible.
Saturday 15 April
Bayern Munich 2/11 | Draw 7/1 | Hoffenheim 12/1 (15:30)
Bayern Munich are flying, but they do not have room to breathe at the top off the table, plus a midweek clash with Manchester City makes life even more difficult. Squad rotation for Thomas Tuchel is of the utmost importance after securing a hard fought 1-0 victory over Freiburg with a full-strength squad – bar Manuel Neuer. Despite Hoffenheim being on a decent run of form, Bayern should be too strong to pass up on the Half-time/Full-time win.
RB Leipzig 2/7 | Draw 52/10 | Augsburg 9/1 (15:30)
After a massive midweek victory in the DFB Pokal over Dortmund to cut a three-match goalless and winless run, Leipzig found a first Bundesliga win since the start of March. Augsburg have some distance from the relegation scrap, so, they may just be a little complacent. Back the home side.
Stuttgart 26/10 | Draw 28/10 | Borussia Dortmund 19/20 (15:30)
Borussia Dortmund were able to distance themselves from Union Berlin with a goal on either side of the half with a 2-1 victory last time out. In the reverse fixture, Dortmund was able to thump Stuttgart 5-0, and backing Dortmund here is easy.
Eintracht Frankfurt 15/20 | Draw 31/10 | Borussia Monchengladbach 34/10 (19:30)
Oliver Glasner has not had a successful season with Eintracht – like last year – and a 3-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen has dampened the hopes for a European place. The Eagles now face Monchengladbach, who found their first win in five fixtures. Both teams to score here is my play.
Sunday 16 April
Werder Bremen 7/4 | Draw 49/20 | Freiburg 31/20 (15:30)
Freiburg fought hard to try and trump the log leaders Bayern last time out but suffering a 1-0 loss can be perceived as a free hit. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, were close to losing their 14th fixture of the season at Mainz but secured a 2-2 draw in the final minute. The value bet here is a win for Freiburg.
Union Berlin 13/20 | Draw 29/10 | Bochum 46/10 (17:30)
Union Berlin have been on a slump, but you can always trust their home form to pick up a result. Against relegation-threatened Bochum, we can expect a full complement of points for the home team.
Wolfsburg 37/20 | Draw 5/2 | Bayer Leverkusen 14/10 (19:30)
Closing out gameweek 28, Bayer Leverkusen head to Wolfsburg in search of their eighth straight win across all competitions, and you can add the away win to all multiples as the banker of the weekend.
TREBLE @ 9/1
Freiburg Win 31/20
Union Berlin Win 13/20
Leverkusen Win 14/10
