Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Bundesliga fixtures, including Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen.

First meets third in the standout Bundesliga fixture on Saturday, with Bayern Munich hosting Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.

The hosts are well on track to record a 10th consecutive league title after extending their lead at the summit last weekend, whilst the visitors returned to winning ways to strengthen their hold on a top-four spot.

We say: Bayern Munich 4-2 Bayer Leverkusen


With both of these sides so prolific in front of goal this season, and with many of their recent meetings producing a considerable amount of goals and entertainment, we are predicting another goal fest on Saturday.

Both teams have also suffered from shaky defences in the lead up to their clean sheets last weekend, so both will look to capitalise in the final third, but ultimately, Bayern should possess too much for their visitors as they continue their charge to a 10th consecutive Bundesliga title.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Saturday's Bundesliga meeting between RB Leipzig and Freiburg at the Red Bull Arena could well have a huge impact on who finishes inside the top four come May.

Both sides head into the clash on the back of DFB-Pokal success in midweek, but their attentions now return to league action at the weekend, with both fighting it out for a spot in next season's Champions League.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-1 Freiburg


This could well be a tight affair on Saturday, with Freiburg sure to remain well organised in their quest to frustrate their hosts for long periods of the game.

There is likely to be little between the two sides, but we are predicting for Leipzig to narrowly edge out the visitors thanks to home advantage, as well as the form of Nkunku in particular.

Wolfsburg vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Wolfsburg will be looking to climb away from danger in the Bundesliga when they host Union Berlin at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.

The hosts were denied a win late on last weekend, whilst the visitors ended their losing streak by recording back-to-back victories over the past week.

We say: Wolfsburg 1-1 Union Berlin


With Wolfsburg enduring a tough season so far, and setbacks in the last two matches following a brief glimmer of hope, we can see Union frustrating them and restricting them to very little on Saturday.

The hosts struggle in front of goal and the visitors are a well-organised outfit, so it is difficult to see many goals being scored, and therefore we are going for a low-scoring draw, with Union's relative struggles on the road restricting their chances of coming away with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Hertha Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping to end their dreadful recent form when they go head to head in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The hosts are winless in 2022 and dropped further into relegation trouble last weekend, whilst the visitors have won just once in the new year, to leave their hopes of a European spot falling away at an alarming rate.

We say: Hertha Berlin 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt


Both sides head into their meeting on the back of dreadful runs of form, so confidence is likely to be at a low point, and as a result, we are predicting a nervy and tight encounter.

If Frankfurt were still prolific in front of goal during their troubles then we would be going for an away win, but with both defences struggling to record a clean sheet, then we can see both teams finding the back of the net regardless of their poor finishing in recent weeks.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Having doubled their points tally for the season in the last five games, Greuther Furth will look to boost their claim to rise off the foot of the Bundesliga table on Saturday, when they travel to take on VfL Bochum.

Although the visitors remain rooted to the bottom of the division with just 14 points, they have picked up two wins from the previous five outings, while their hosts currently occupy 11th spot.

We say: VfL Bochum 2-0 Greuther Furth


The visitors have certainly done themselves proud recently, but we ultimately see them falling short in Bochum.

Their hosts boast the stronger squad and will be keen to bounce back from their cup defeat and slight dip in league form.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

After both sides struggled through February with just a handful of Bundesliga points between them, second-bottom Stuttgart and underachieving Borussia Monchengladbach meet on Saturday evening.

While the hosts are deep in the relegation mire following nine games without a win, Gladbach have continued to stutter since starting the year with a shock win over Bayern Munich.

We say: Stuttgart 1-2 Borussia Monchengladbach


Gladbach can be expected to prolong their hosts' agony, as the trapdoor back to 2. Bundesliga looms ever closer for Stuttgart.

With their forwards finally springing into life to save a point last weekend, the visitors can make their greater individual quality pay in the final third and pull themselves closer to mid-table respectability.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
