Bundesliga Matchday 20 preview, free soccer bets & odds

The Bundesliga action continues this weekend with a lineup of nine thrilling matches in the top-flight German football league. Each of these matches carries significant implications for the league table. Here, we provide you with our insights and predictions for Matchday 20 of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season:

FC Heidenheim vs Borussia Dortmund

Saturday, February 2 – 6:30am AEDT – Voith-Arena

Borussia Dortmund, currently back in the top four after a convincing 3-1 victory over VfL Bochum last weekend, aims to extend their unbeaten streak of five matches. They face a challenging away match against Heidenheim, a newly promoted side that has surprised many by climbing to the 10th spot. However, with Dortmund scoring ten goals in their last three matches, FC Heidenheim faces a daunting task.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Sunday, February 4 – 1:30am AEDT – Allianz Stadium

Following their goalless draw against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach heads to Bavaria to face Bayern Munich. With the gap at the top reduced to just two points, Bayern is within striking distance of the leaders and is expected to continue their winning form. However, Monchengladbach has a history of troubling the defending champions, losing only once in their last six encounters.

VfL Bochum vs FC Augsburg

Sunday, February 4 – 1:30am AEDT – Vonovia Ruhrstadion

FC Augsburg, coming off a thrilling 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich, faces fellow relegation contender VfL Bochum. With just one point separating the two sides in the table, this match promises to be a closely contested battle. Considering their previous season clash ended in a 2-2 draw, we expect another evenly matched contest.

SV Darmstadt vs Bayer Leverkusen

Sunday, February 4 – 1:30am AEDT – Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor

Bayer Leverkusen, after sharing points with Borussia Monchengladbach, remains just two points ahead at the top of the table. They face a crucial match against bottom-placed SV Darmstadt, and they are expected to get back to their winning ways. SV Darmstadt holds the worst defensive record in the Bundesliga, making it an opportune moment to bet on goals with the top bookmakers.

SC Freiburg vs VfB Stuttgart

Sunday, February 4 – 1:30am AEDT – Europa-Park Stadion

VfB Stuttgart, fresh from an impressive 5-2 win over RB Leipzig, holds a four-point lead inside the top four. Facing pressure from the chasing pack, Stuttgart travels to Freiburg, who sit seventh on the table despite a recent loss to Werder Bremen. However, given Stuttgart’s dominant 5-0 victory earlier this season, Freiburg might find it challenging.

FSV Mainz vs Werder Bremen

Sunday, February 4 – 1:30am AEDT – MEWA ARENA

Werder Bremen’s back-to-back wins against top-six teams have propelled them into the top half of the table. Facing 17th-placed Mainz this weekend, Werder Bremen has a chance to extend their seven-match unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. With a convincing 4-0 victory over Mainz earlier in the season, Werder Bremen appears to be a strong underdog bet.

FC Koln vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Sunday, February 4 – 2:30am AEDT – RheinEnergieStadion

Eintracht Frankfurt, unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches, aims to solidify their position in the top six as they visit Cologne. FC Koln, the lowest-scoring team in the Bundesliga, finds themselves in the relegation zone. Despite Koln’s record against Frankfurt, the tendency for low-scoring matches suggests an under 2.5 goals bet could be wise.

VfL Wolfsburg vs TSG Hoffenheim

Monday, February 5 – 1:30am AEDT – Volkswagen Arena

TSG Hoffenheim, with just one win in their last ten Bundesliga matches, faces Wolfsburg in a mid-season slump. Wolfsburg, coming off three consecutive 1-1 draws, is also not in great form. Given the history of both teams scoring in their previous nine matchups, along with the home side’s recent success, a Wolfsburg win with both teams scoring seems plausible.

RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin

Monday, February 5 – 3:30am AEDT – Red Bull Arena

RB Leipzig is currently on a three-match losing streak and has dropped out of the top four. Hosting 15th-placed Union Berlin, Leipzig has an opportunity to break their losing streak and maintain pressure on the teams above. Considering Union Berlin’s defensive struggles, a bet on Belgian striker Ikoma Lois Openda to score appears promising.
