Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Union Berlin vs. Bayern Munich

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Bundesliga fixtures, including Union Berlin vs. Bayern Munich.


Dortmund vs. FC Koln (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be looking for their fourth straight win in the Bundesliga when they host FC Koln at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

The hosts require the win in order to maintain the pressure on Bayern Munich at the top of the table, whilst the hosts will look to continue their fine start to the season after rescuing a point against their rivals last weekend.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-2 FC Koln


We are predicting Koln to pick up a shock point in this fixture on Saturday, largely due to their buoyant mood as a result of their last two games, as well as the absence of Haaland for the hosts.

Dortmund seem to be a completely different side without him, and despite winning all five previous home league games so far this campaign, we can see them dropping points against their confident opponents in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

B. Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

After flying out of the blocks at the beginning of the new season, both Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg will be looking to put an end to their recent dips in form when they go head to head at the BayArena on Saturday.

The hosts currently find themselves on a four-match winless streak across all competitions heading into Saturday's Bundesliga outing, whilst their visitors have failed to win in their last eight games since their 100% start to the new campaign.

We say: Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Wolfsburg


Depending on how quickly Wolfsburg respond to the demands of their new manager, Leverkusen should manage to win this one fairly comfortably.

They may not be on a good run of form themselves, but performances have still been respectable and they are in a better position than the visitors so will be expected to record a victory on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Union Berlin vs. Bayern (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Union Berlin's incredible home record will face arguably its greatest test possible on Saturday, when they welcome Bundesliga leaders and reigning champions Bayern Munich to the Stadion An der alten Forsterei.

The hosts will be in a confident mood after another impressive start to the campaign, but they will be wary of a backlash from their visiting opponents at the weekend, who suffered a humiliating defeat in the cup in midweek.

We say: Union Berlin 1-1 Bayern Munich


Union will have their tails up here and we can see them extending their unbeaten home record against their wounded opponents.

Bayern are likely to start quickly in response to their heavy defeat in the week, but their hosts will sit in and frustrate them in the hope of grinding out a result, which we can see them managing.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Freiburg vs. Greuther Furth (Saturday, 2.30pm)

High-flying Freiburg welcome bottom-of-the-table Greuther Furth to the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon in the 10th round of Bundesliga games.

The hosts are overperforming and sit third in the table, whilst their upcoming opponents remain rooted to the bottom, four points behind 17th-placed Arminia Bielefeld.

We say: Freiburg 2-0 Greuther Furth


Whilst strange things can happen, perhaps in German football in particular - as shown by Bayern Munich's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Borussia Monchengladbach during the week - there is very little to suggest anything but a comfortable Freiburg victory here. With a couple more shocks, and a huge swing in goal difference, they could even end the weekend top of the table.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Arminia Bielefeld vs. Mainz 05 (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Arminia Bielefeld and Mainz 05 meet for the second time in the space of five days when they face off in Bundesliga action at the Schuco-Arena on Saturday.

The pair met in the second round of the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday evening, with Mainz coming out on top by a 3-2 scoreline after extra time, but both now turn their attentions back to the league when they go head to head at the weekend.

We say: Arminia Bielefeld 0-1 Mainz 05


The struggles in front of goal for the hosts, as well as the solid defensive structure of Mainz, mean that a narrow and tight game is expected on Saturday between these two.

It is difficult to see Bielefeld scoring despite the high-scoring result in midweek, and we can see Mainz continuing their rise up the table by recording another narrow victory here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Frankfurt vs. RB Leipzig (Saturday, 5.30pm)

RB Leipzig travel west to take on Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park as the developing 2020-21 Bundesliga season which reaches the 10-game mark.

The hosts are struggling down in 15th in the table, just one place above the relegation playoff spot, whilst the visitors have had a mixed campaign so far and sit in sixth.

We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 RB Leipzig


This game could go either way considering Leipzig's struggles on the road and Frankfurt's struggles in general. The hosts are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach and the visitors are rarely shy in front of goal so this could end up being a higher-scoring game, but we are backing a 1-1 draw on this occasion.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
