Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund

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


RB Leipzig vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

RB Leipzig and Union Berlin will meet for the second time in four days when they go head to head at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The two sides met in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals on Wednesday evening, with the hosts netting a stoppage-time winner to seal their progress to next month's final.

We say: RB Leipzig 3-1 Union Berlin


As was the case in midweek, we can see Leipzig coming out on top here against a visiting Union side that lacks the same quality and intensity when playing on the road.

The late winner on Wednesday is sure to give the hosts a huge psychological advantage over their opponents too, and with the excellent form that they find themselves in during 2022, it is difficult to see many being able to stop them extending their unbeaten run.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Frankfurt vs. Hoffenheim (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Two out-of-form sides go head to head in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with Eintracht Frankfurt hosting Hoffenheim at Deutsche Bank Park.

Both teams remain in the hunt for European football next season despite their struggles of late, but a turnaround in form is required with just four games left to play in Germany's top flight.

We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Hoffenheim


With neither side in decent form in the lead up to this game, it is difficult to see either performing well enough to claim all three points.

As a result, we believe the two evenly-matched sides could cancel each other out and finish level, which would not suit either side in their hopes of achieving continental qualification.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Freiburg vs. Borussia M'bach (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Freiburg will be looking to continue their remarkable season when they welcome Borussia Monchengladbach to the Europa-Park Stadion in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The hosts progressed to the final of the DFB-Pokal in midweek to make it three successive wins in their surprise race for the top four, whilst the visitors suffered a disappointing derby defeat to end their brief upturn in results.

We say: Freiburg 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach


With Gladbach left with nothing to play after performing hugely disappointing this season, Freiburg should come out on top here with a raucous atmosphere behind them at the Europa-Park Stadion.

If the hosts can build on their midweek success in the cup rather than suffer from a hangover as a result of it, they should possess too much quality, intensity and desire for their lacklustre visitors.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

FC Koln vs. Arminia Bielefeld (Saturday, 2.30pm)

With only four games left to jump out of the bottom three of the Bundesliga table, Arminia Bielefeld face the tough test of a trip to FC Koln on Saturday.

Following back-to-back defeats, the visitors sit two points off the relegation playoff place and three points adrift of automatic safety, while their hosts have climbed to seventh spot thanks to consecutive wins.

We say: FC Koln 3-1 Arminia Bielefeld


Given the contrasting form of the two teams, we can only envisage a home victory on Saturday.

With momentum on their side and the chance to climb into the top six, Baumgart's side should have enough to sweep the strugglers aside on home turf.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Greuther Furth vs. B. Leverkusen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Bayer Leverkusen are currently embroiled in a fierce battle for the Champions League places and the fourth-placed side will be looking to return to winning ways, when they face Greuther Furth on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, prop up the Bundesliga table with just 17 points to their name, and there is the possibility that they could be relegated this weekend.

We say: Greuther Furth 1-3 Bayer Leverkusen


Leverkusen thrashed the Kleebatter 7-1 in the reverse fixture, and though we do not expect the scoreline on Saturday to be as eyecatching, we think the visitors have enough quality in their ranks to condemn Furth to defeat.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Bayern vs. Dortmund (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Saturday's Bundesliga action concludes with Der Klassiker at the Allianz Arena, with leaders Bayern Munich hosting second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

The hosts will clinch a 10th successive league title with a win, in what looks set to be a thrilling encounter for Germany's standout fixture.

We say: Bayern Munich 4-2 Borussia Dortmund


As has been the case in recent years, this looks set to be a hugely entertaining game on Saturday, with both sides tending to ignore defensive concerns to focus on an attacking mindset in past meetings.

We believe that trend will continue here, with Bayern having too much for their visitors, who are missing a number of players and look incapable of being able to contain the threat of their hosts.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
