Borussia Monchengladbach v FSV Mainz

Saturday, March 8 – 6:30pm AEDT – Borussia-Park

Second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who are unbeaten in their last 10 league outings, will look to gain ground on Bayern when they take on Werder Bremen, who are in the bottom half of the table after a four-game losing streak. Undefeated in their last four meetings, with three wins and a draw, the defending champions are strong favourites to dispatch their defensively vulnerable guests.

Bayern Munich v VfL Bochum

Sunday, March 9 – 1:30am AEDT – Allianz Arena

Enjoying an eight-point lead atop the Bundesliga table, league leaders Bayern Munich will seek to advance their title credentials against Bochum, who are in the danger zone following last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Hoffenheim.

Holstein Kiel v VfB Stuttgart

Sunday, March 9 – 1:30am AEDT – Holstein-Stadion

Winless in their last three games, ninth-placed Stuttgart will be eager to bounce back against Holstein Kiel, who are second from bottom with one win in their last seven games. Triumphant in their last meeting, Stuttgart should have little difficulty overcoming the Bundesliga newcomers.

VfL Wolfsburg v St Pauli

Sunday, March 9 – 1:30am AEDT – Volkswagen Arena

Wolfsburg, in seventh, will endeavour to strengthen their chances of securing European football against St Pauli, who have slipped to 15th after a four-game losing streak. The Wolves are in better form and league position, so expect them to edge past their troubled opponents.

SC Freiburg v RB Leipzig

Sunday, March 9 – 4:30am AEDT – Europa-Park Stadion

Freiburg are fifth on the table with 40 points, while Leipzig are a position behind with two fewer points. This fixture has produced plenty of goals in recent years, and these two attacking sides are likely to uphold the trend.

Eintracht Frankfurt v FC Union Berlin

Monday, March 10 – 1:30am AEDT – Deutsche Bank Park

Following consecutive defeats to Bayern and Leverkusen, third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt will strive to return to winning ways against Union Berlin, who have dropped to 14th after a three-game losing streak. Unbeaten in their last five home games, with four wins and a draw, Frankfurt are poised to cruise to victory against the struggling capital outfit.

TSG Hoffenheim v FC Heidenheim

Monday, March 10 – 3:30am AEDT – PreZero Arena

Hoffenheim are 13th on the table with 25 points, while Heidenheim are bottom of the league after an eight-game winless run. The Kraichgauer are in good shape and should claim all three points against their lacklustre visitors.
