Friday 3 May
4 Hoffenheim | Draw 19/5 | RB Leipzig 5/10 (20:30)
The RB Leipzig win over Dortmund last week was one to possibly get them over the line to Champions League football. A matchup versus Hoffenheim is as certain as they come this weekend. Back the away team confidently.
Saturday 4 May
13/20 Borussia Dortmund | Draw 16/5 | Augsburg 33/10 (15:30)
Any dropped points for Dortmund now will see them playing Europa League football next season – bar their chances at winning the UCL title. Their 4-1 loss to Leipzig is one to forget, and the chance to maintain pressure against a struggling Augsburg is ripe for the picking. Back Dortmund.
6/5 Stuttgart | Draw 27/10 | Bayern Munich 19/10 (15:30)
This is basically a dead rubber third versus second respectively, and Bayern Munich will be keeping key players for their massive matchup against Real Madrid. The tide could swing either way, but I’d back the home team at valuable odds.
5/4 Werder Bremen | Draw 27/10 | Monchengladbach 19/10 (15:30)
A win for Borussia Monchengladbach officially keeps them free of relegation this season, so you can expect the away team to make every effort to impress. Back the away team.
4/10 Wolfsburg | Draw 19/5 | Darmstadt 6/1 (15:30)
Wolfsburg’s win last time out officially put them past the relegation threshold and can begin focusing on the upcoming season. Similarly, Darmstadt can put all the attention in the Bundesliga 2. Back the home team to play for the supporters.
5/4 Cologne | Draw 5/2 | Freiburg 39/20 (17:30)
This high-stake encounter could prove the match of the weekend. Cologne must win and hope for Mainz to drop points if they have any chance of making the promotional play-offs, while Freiburg, although five points adrift, will want to keep pressure on sixth for a European spot. Back both teams to score (yes).
Sunday 5 May
19/20 Union | Draw 49/20 | Bochum 57/20 (15:30)
Union is still not safe, and a home game versus fellow relegation strugglers Bochum comes just in time. Both teams sit on 30 points in 14th and 15th respectively, and Mainz sits just two points adrift this encounter. This is a deciding fixture, and Bochum’s four straight away defeats with just one win on the road this season paints a telling picture. Back the home team.
21/10 Eintracht Frankfurt | Draw 49/20 | Bayer Leverkusen 12/10 (17:30)
Bayer Leverkusen are the kings of additional time, to continue their undefeated streak. The pressure is mounting and its evident in the value on offer. Its back-to-back league draws for Leverkusen for the first time since December last year, and the last two trips to Frankfurt have been atrocious, losing 5-1 and 5-2, alongside failing to get any points there since 2017. Back Eintracht on the Draw no bet.
2/1 Heidenheimer | Draw 49/20 | Mainz 5/4 (19:30)
Mainz must win to stay afloat, and they will know all the results from the weekend before their kick-off. Six fixtures undefeated bodes well in their favour, and an away win may just be on the cards.
QUAD @ 9/1
RB Leipzig Win 5/10
Borussia Dortmund Win 13/20
Stuttgart Win 6/5
Union Win 19/20
