Bundesliga betting tips & best odds | Matchday 15 preview

Bundesliga 2024-25 enters Matchday 15 with several top-tier matchups, including the highly anticipated bout between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Below are our free soccer betting predictions for this week’s action in the German top division.

Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig

Saturday, December 21 – 6:30am AEDT – Allianz Arena

Top of the league despite their surprise 2-1 defeat to Mainz last Saturday, Bayern Munich will be eager to return to winning ways against RB Leipzig, who are fourth after beating Eintracht Frankfurt by a similar score. With both teams boasting impressive attacking strengths, expect to see plenty of action at either end of the pitch.

Eintracht Frankfurt v FSV Mainz

Sunday, December 22 – 1:30am AEDT – Deutsche Bank Park

Beaten in their last outing by Leipzig, third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt have a daunting challenge against Mainz, who climbed to seventh following their victory over the Bavarians. Triumphant in their last three home games against the Nullfunfers, back the hosts to grind out a win.

Holstein Kiel v FC Augsburg

Sunday, December 22 – 1:30am AEDT – Holstein-Stadion

Augsburg, sitting 13th, have a solid shot of securing their fifth Bundesliga win of the season against a vulnerable Holstein Kiel side that is second from bottom. Victorious in their last encounter, expect the guests to hand Kiel their sixth consecutive defeat of the campaign.

VfB Stuttgart v St Pauli

Sunday, December 22 – 1:30am AEDT – MHP Arena

After their convincing 3-1 win over Heidenheim in Matchday 14, sixth-placed Stuttgart will be looking to build some momentum against struggling St Pauli, who are 15th after suffering four defeats in their last five Bundesliga outings. Stuttgart’s Ermedin Demirovic has netted seven times in the league, and online bookmakers are giving us decent odds of +125 for the 26-year-old to add to his goal tally.

TSG Hoffenheim v Borussia Monchengladbach

Sunday, December 22 – 1:30am AEDT – PreZero Arena

Hoffenheim are 14th on the table having managed just one win in their last seven games, while Monchengladbach have secured three victories over the same period. Unbeaten in their last four meetings, with three wins and a draw, expect the trend to continue.

SV Werder Bremen v FC Union Berlin

Sunday, December 22 – 1:30am AEDT – Weser Stadium

Werder Bremen, sitting ninth, will be hoping to climb higher up the table against Union Berlin, who have dropped to 12th after going seven league games without a win. Bremen won comfortably against Berlin last season at the Weser Stadium, and the in-form hosts could do so again.

Bayer Leverkusen v SC Freiburg

Sunday, December 22 – 4:30am AEDT – BayArena

Second-placed Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to extend their impressive run of four successive wins when they host Freiburg, who climbed to fifth after their 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg. Patrik Schick has five league goals to his name thus far, and the Czech forward offers good value in the anytime goalscorer market.

VfL Bochum v FC Heidenheim

Monday, December 23 – 1:30am AEDT – Vonovia Ruhrstadion

Winless Bochum are at the foot of the table with three points from their opening 14 Bundesliga games, while Heidenheim are two positions higher with 10 points. Given that both sides are struggling, this encounter could end in a stalemate for the third consecutive time.

VfL Wolfsburg v Borussia Dortmund

Monday, December 23 – 3:30am AEDT – Volkswagen Arena

Borussia Dortmund, in eighth, will be determined to end their three-match run of draws during their trip to Wolfsburg, who are two places below them. Serhou Guirassy has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, and leading bookie Marantelli Bet is paying +140 for the BVB forward to strike again.
