Bundesliga betting tips, top odds & value picks | Matchday 28

The Bundesliga action continues this weekend with nine matches of top-flight German football. Below are our top soccer betting tips for Matchday 28.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Werder Bremen

Saturday, April 6 – 5:30am AEDT – Deutsche Bank Park

Sitting in sixth spot, Eintracht Frankfurt’s European aspirations are in their own hands as they hold a five-point lead over the chasing pack. Hosting the 10th-placed Werder Bremen, Frankfurt come in as favourites with top Bundesliga bookmakers given the visitors have lost their past five matches. After conceding 11 goals in their past five, Bremen have now also lost starting goalkeeper Michael Zetterer to injury, suggesting they may struggle at the back.

FC Koln vs VfL Bochum

Sunday, April 7 – 12:30am AEDT – RheinEnergieStadium

With just seven weeks to go, FC Koln are running out of time to close the seven-point gap to safety. On a run of eight matches without a win, they welcome the equally out-of-form VfL Bochum. In a clash between two of the lowest-scoring sides in the Bundesliga, don’t expect too many goal opportunities.

FC Heidenheim vs Bayern Munich

Sunday, April 7 – 12:30am AEDT – Voith-Arena

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel declared the Bundesliga title race “over” after last Saturday’s loss to Borussia Dortmund, as they have now fallen 13 points behind Bayer Leverkusen. Now just looking to finish the season strongly, they head to Heidenheim as heavy favourites. The reverse fixture ended 4-2, so while Bayern offer little value for the win, pair it with both teams to score for added value.

FSV Mainz vs SV Darmstadt

Sunday, April 7 – 12:30am AEDT – MEWA ARENA

Sitting in the relegation playoff position, FSV Mainz have had a good month with five points from their past four matches. They now welcome the last-placed SV Darmstadt, who are winless in their past 21 matches. Facing the worst defence in the Bundesliga, look for Mainz winger Jonathan Burkardt to continue his strong scoring form after netting three goals in March.

SC Freiburg vs RB Leipzig

Sunday, April 7 – 12:30am AEDT – Europa-Park Stadion

Locked in a battle for fourth place with Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig have fallen three points behind after their disappointing draw with FSV Mainz last Saturday. They now head to Freiburg as favourites, expected to continue their 10-match unbeaten run between the sides. In particular, watch out for Leipzig leading scorer Lois Openda, who has been in terrific form with 19 goals this season.

Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen

Sunday, April 7 – 12:30am AEDT – Stadion An der Alter Forsterei

Still undefeated and 13 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table, Bayer Leverkusen appear to be cruising towards the title. Facing the 12th-placed Union Berlin on the road, they are favoured with top soccer betting sites to continue their excellent form. With injuries affecting the capital club’s attack, Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick will be licking his lips after netting five goals in his past five matches.

Borussia Dortmund vs VfB Stuttgart

Sunday, April 7 – 2:30am AEST – Signal Iduna Park

After securing their first win over Bayern Munich in 10 years, Borussia Dortmund now continue their top-four fight as they host VfB Stuttgart. The third-placed Stuttgart also enter this marquee match in-form, unbeaten in their past nine Bundesliga games. Some 17 of the past 18 meetings between these sides have gone over the total goals line, so expect plenty of action at both ends of the pitch.

TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Augsburg

Sunday, April 7 – 11:30pm AEST – PreZero Arena

Unbeaten in their past five matches, FC Augsburg are making a late push for the top six and now just five points adrift. On the other hand, TSG Hoffenheim have lost their past three matches against top-six sides. While Augsburg are the in-form team, they come in as betting underdogs on the road, so expect a close affair.

Wolfsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Monday, April 8 – 1:30pm AEST – Volkswagen Arena

Both Borussia Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg have had disappointing seasons, as they sit in 13th and 14th place respectively. Winless in their past seven home matches, Wolfsburg enter this as unlikely favourites as the visitors haven’t won on the road since September. Traditionally, these matches have had plenty of scoring, with four of the past five going over the total goals line.
