⚽ B. Monchengladbach vs Leipzig
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Massive odds on a reasonably likely draw, plus some decent odds on a safe double chance.

• CXSports says: Based on historical performances, Leipzig would usually be the favorite to win here. However, given recent form, it’s hard to tell these two teams apart. Perhaps the biggest difference is in their last 5 games, where Leipzig has only taken a single victory, while Monchengladbach has 3 wins. In short, this will be a tight game that could very well end in a draw, although the slightly safer bet would be a double chance play backing a victory for either side.

• Score prediction: 1-1 draw

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (B. Monchengladbach / Leipzig)

• Odds Range: 1.22-1.32

Option #2

• Bet: Draw

• Odds Range: 3.65-4.07

⚽ Bayern Munich vs St. Pauli
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: When the #1 team takes on a bottom-feeder, it’s hard to resist taking such an easy win.

• CXSports says: Bayern Munich’s leading the league at the moment, while St. Pauli’s barely keeping its head above the relegation zone. That should tell you everything you need to know about where this match is likely headed. But just in case you needed more convincing, then consider this — the last five times these two have met, Bayern Munich has one each and every time, all while averaging 3.4 goals a game.

• Score prediction: 2-0 for Bayern Munich

Option #1

• Bet: Bayern Munich Victory

• Odds Range: 1.11-1.17

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (No)

• Odds Range: 1.40-1.53

⚽ Hoffenheim vs Augsburg
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Relative to the odds market, there’s a high probability of a draw. Alternatively, there’s a safer draw-no-bet play backing the home team.

• CXSports says: If you glanced at the table, you’d think there’s quite a bit separating these teams (Augsburg’s #9 while Hoffenheim’s #14). But recent form suggests otherwise, with Hoffenheim performing only slightly worse than Augsburg in their last five games. Once you throw Hoffenheim’s home-ground advantage into the mix, you end up looking at what promises to be an exceptionally close game.

• Score prediction: 1-1 draw

Option #1

• Bet: Draw No Bet (Hoffenheim)

• Odds Range: 1.55-1.71

Option #2

• Bet: Draw

• Odds Range: 3.10-3.52

⚽ Holstein Kiel vs Werder Bremen
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: With a safe double-chance play on this game, there’s some easy winnings to be found here.

• CXSports says: Right now, Holstein Kiel’s facing a bit of an injury crisis with multiple key players down and out. That’s left the remaining squad spread thin, bringing down what would otherwise be a team with a clear edge in this match. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen’s got a number of returning players to help bolster their squad, although any edge they gain from this could be offset by Holstein Kiel’s home advantage. Another factor to take into account — neither side’s recent form is a standout, with both having had a fairly woeful set of results in their last 5-6 games. In short, this game could go either way.

• Score prediction: 1-2 or 2-1 for either side

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Holstein Kiel / Werder Bremen)

• Odds Range: 1.19-1.30

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.37-1.55

In the spirit of our German Bundesliga theme this week, here’s a tricky question about the #1 team in the league right now.

Question: In what year was Bayern Munich founded?

• A: 1899

• B: 1900

• C: 1905

• D: 1910

Think you know the answer?

Read to the end to see if you were right.

⚽ Wolfsburg vs Heidenheim
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: There are some solid odds available on a clear favorite.

• CXSports says: Wolfsburg are coming into this game as the hot favorite. With a much better league positioning, a favorable head-to-head record (4 wins + 1 draw; most recently a 3-1 victory), and a considerable home advantage on their side, there’s more than a couple of stars lining up. There isn’t really much more that needs to be said here.

• Score prediction: 2-1 for Wolfsburg

Option #1

• Bet: Wolfsburg Victory

• Odds Range: 1.55-1.68

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 2.5)

• Odds Range: 1.40-1.59

⚽ Eintracht Frankfurt vs Stuttgart
German Bundesliga
Saturday 29 March; 18:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Nice odds on what should be a reasonably comfortable home team victory.

• CXSports says: Looking at league positioning and the last five games for each team here, Stuttgart’s currently #10 with no wins on the board, while Frankfurt’s #4 with two wins on the board. We can also look at the last time these two met (November 2024), which saw Eintracht Frankfurt come out on top in a 3-2 victory over Stuttgart. Now throw Eintracht Frankfurt’s home advantage into the mix and you end up with a pretty clear favorite here.

• Score prediction: 2-1 for Eintracht Frankfurt

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Eintracht Frankfurt / Stuttgart)

• Odds Range: 1.22-1.30

Option #2

• Bet: Over/Under (Over 2.5)

• Odds Range: 1.33-1.47

⚽ Freiburg vs Union Berlin
German Bundesliga
Sunday 30 March; 15:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Two safe bets here that take advantage of the high probability of either a draw or a Freiburg victory.

• CXSports says: Freiburg’s currently #6 in the Bundesliga standings with 42 points on the board, while FC Union Berlin is #13 with 27 points. Recent form from both teams reflects this positioning, too, with Freiburg going undefeated in their last five, while Berlin’s lost three games. With that said, the last time these two met, Berline did manage to hold Freiburg to a draw, so we shouldn’t completely rule them out as a total underdog.

• Score prediction: 1-0 for Freiburg

Option #1

• Bet: Double Chance (Freiburg / Draw)

• Odds Range: 1.20-1.29

Option #2

• Bet: Draw No Bet (Freiburg)

• Odds Range: 1.35-1.47

⚽ Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz 05
German Bundesliga
Sunday 30 March; 17:30 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: There must be a glitch at the sportsbooks — the odds on Mainz represent INSANE value.

• CXSports says: Currently sitting at #3 on the Bundesliga table, Mainz has gone undefeated in their last five matches. Meanwhile, Dortmund is occupying the #11 position with 3 losses in their last five. Furthermore, the last time these two met (November 2024), Mainz walked away with a tidy 3-1 victory over Dortmund. In short, Mainz 05 has a very clear edge coming into this match — an edge that Dortmund likely won’t be able to overcome with its home advantage alone.

• Score prediction: 1-2 for Mainz 05

Option #1

• Bet: Mainz 05 Victory

• Odds Range: 4.15-5.00

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes)

• Odds Range: 1.55-1.75
