Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen will welcome top-four rivals RB Leipzig to Bay Arena this Sunday as both sides battle for three points that will set them on course for a top-four finish. After a terrible start to their season that saw them meddle with relegation, Leverkusen are fully in the top-five race thanks to a change of fortune under Xabi Alonso. The hosts come into this tie in good form and will be keen to continue that run here after progressing to a European semi-final for the first time since 2001/02 in midweek. They will swiftly turn their attention back to the Bundesliga race for Europe. They entered this round six points adrift of the top five, so their most likely finish will be a Conference League place unless they can eat up the ground. Read more: Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But confidence should be high ahead of this game after Leverkusen’s seven-game unbeaten Bundesliga run (W5, D2). However, extending that run here could be tricky as they are yet to win a Bundesliga home game against RB Leipzig (D3, L3). The visitors could do Leverkusen a favour further down the line if they win the DFB Pokal and extend the European places to seventh. However, the more pressing matter for themselves is to cling to their top-four place.  Marco Rose’s side entered this round with just a one-point buffer to fifth, but with Freiburg playing at home to Schalke just before kick-off here, they may need maximum points to reclaim the fourth spot. They travel to BayArena with a good record against Leverkusen. Yet, Marco Rose’s personal record against Leverkusen doesn’t inspire much confidence, with four losses and three wins in seven meetings. Meanwhile, Leverkusen have scored a Bundesliga-high 15 goals in the 15 minutes directly following half-time this season.  That said, we can expect BTTS/GG here, given that only one of Leverkusen’s last eight home matches have featured a clean sheet.Click here for sure home win prediction.

Mainz vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will travel to Mewa Arena this Saturday to face Mainz in the 29th Round of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season. After back-to-back draws, Mainz will be desperate to return to winning ways and get their top-six quest back on track. The hosts are loitering just outside the top six but well placed to make a late assault on the Bundesliga table in search of a first appearance in European competition since 2016/17.  They find themselves in a cluster of four sides who harbour realistic hopes of claiming the Bundesliga’s sixth and final European spot, and their aspirations certainly boosted by a nine-match unbeaten league run (W5, D4). Read more: Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  However, head coach Bo Svensson will be worried that all four draws in that run came in their last five games. But having scored in 14 consecutive Bundesliga games (a club record), they will fancy their chances of getting a result here against a Bayern side still finding their feet under Thomas Tuchel. The former Chelsea boss, who played under Svensskn at Mainz, has lost and won just two of his opening six games at the Bavarian club (D2, L2). His last outing was in the Champions League, where his side were kicked out after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Allianz Arena. When Tuchel arrived, Bayern were on course to win three trophies. But as it stands, they only have the Bundesliga title to fight for, having been kicked out of the DFB Pokal and Champions League. But no guarantee just being able to focus on the Bundesliga will help them, as their 59-point haul is their worst after 28 games in 11 years. Playing away from home probably wouldn’t be the Bavarians’ premier pick to improve upon that tally either, not only because they’ve alternated between wins and defeats across their last five away league games (W3, L2) but also because they’ve lost both Bundesliga away games against a Svensson-managed Mainz. Both sides do not struggle to score goals, so we can expect a BTTS/GG game at Mewa Arena on Saturday. Click here to get soccer Predictions today.

Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Borussia Dortmund will look to return to winning ways this Saturday when they face Eintracht Frankfurt at Signal Iduna Park. Last time, they failed to take advantage of Bayern Munich’s draw with Hoffenheim oas they, were held to a 3-3 draw against Stuttgart after taking the lead in the game. Edin Terzić can only hope that his side’s failure to defeat Stuttgart in that pulsating draw won’t be a season-defining moment in the title race, as that was a golden opportunity to draw level with Bayern at the Bundesliga summit. Regardless, the visit of Eintracht Frankfurt may provide some much-needed respite for the hosts, who hope to build on their patchy five-game league form (W2, D2, L1) against the side they’ve defeated more often than any other in the top-flight (W48, D20, L31). Read more: Mainz vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction If that’s not enough to inspire confidence, then perhaps boasting the league’s strongest home record (W11, D1, L1) will be enough to rally the troops after last weekend’s disappointment. Frankfurt enters this clash in terrible form, having suffered an almighty fall from grace in the league, with a seven-game winless run seeing them tumble out of the European places (D4, L3).  Yet, Oliver Glasner’s side have a DFB Pokal semi-final on the horizon, so if they fall further adrift of the top six here, they’re likely to focus more on earning European qualification via the cup competition. But things don’t look much better on the road for the Eagles, who are enduring their longest wait for an away league win since 2017 (D4, L4). Stopping the rot against this particular opposition will be tricky, to say the least, with Glasner losing each of his seven personal Bundesliga H2Hs with Dortmund. His embarrassment may not stop there, as one more defeat would equal the Bundesliga record for one coach against a specific opponent. Click here to get Betting Tips Today.

Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will look to continue their defence of the Bundesliga title this Saturday when they host Hoffenheim at Allianz Arena. The hosts come into this tie on the back of an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League. The loss was their second in four games under new manager Thomas Tuchel. The German boss has his work cut out for him as he attempts to navigate a difficult week that could see Bayern lose their grip on their chances of winning a trophy at the end of the season.  Currently, they sit top of the table but with just two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga table. Read more: Chelsea vs Brighton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Meanwhile, having secured back-to-back Bundesliga victories in the infancy of his reign, Tuchel now has the chance to become just the fourth Bayern coach since the turn of the century to win his first three league games.  With the Bavarians boasting eleven wins from their last 14 Bundesliga home outings against Hoffenheim (D2, L1), you’d fully expect him to secure that feat and ensure his side end the weekend still on top. The visitors aren’t pushovers, though, as they travel to Munich on a run of three consecutive league wins. Those priceless nine points have helped steer them clear of the immediate clutches of relegation. However, with just a five-point cushion to the drop zone ahead of the round, the job is far from done. But all three Hoffenheim victories came against sides starting this round in the bottom half of the table. But it’s not been quite as plain-sailing for them against the division’s better sides, winning just two of their 15 Bundesliga games so far this season against teams starting the round tenth or higher, a record that looks ominous as they travel to face high-flying Bayern. Meanwhile, Bayern have led at half-time in a league-high 21 of their 27 Bundesliga games this term (HT: D4, L2), so you can expect a first-half goal in this game.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will look to begin life under Thomas Tuchel with a bang when they welcome fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena this Saturday for the second Bundesliga Der Klassiker of the season. Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked last week after a return of five wins from ten Bundesliga games in 2023. The poor return of points has seen the Bavarians relinquish the top spot to Dortmund, with their most recent 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen placing them one point behind the visitors. Read more: Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Preview and Expert Football Prediction After his unveiling, Tuchel proclaimed that he wants to win “all the titles”, as Bayern are still in the battle to lift a Bundesliga, Champions League and DfB Pokal treble. But any hopes of doing so will be hinged mainly on how he performs in this first game against his former club.  Bayern’s current 52-point haul is their worst return at this stage of a Bundesliga season since they last failed to lift the famous trophy in 2011/12. Should they lose here, they will end the weekend four points behind Dortmund.  While Bayern wilted in 2023, the visitors have enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2023. They remain unbeaten in the league this year, with their only blip coming in a 2-2 draw against fierce local rivals Schalke 04.  Having won eleven of their last 13 games in all competitions, they will bear no fear on this trip to Munich. A 6-1 win over Cologne just before the international break should also be give them much-needed inspiration. However, they’ve lost their last eight Bundesliga trips to the Allianz Arena. Yet, Dortmund boss Edin Terzić has been boosted by the return of key players such as Julian Brandt and Youssoufa Moukoko from injury and will “travel to Munich with confidence and a full squad”. Meanwhile, an incredible 346 goals have been scored across the 107 Bundesliga Der Klassikers; that’s 3.28 goals per match on average. So an ‘over 2.5 goals’ prediction will be a good bet.  Click here to get correct score tips daily.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will continue their quest for an eleventh consecutive Bundesliga title this Sunday with a visit to BayArena, where they face Bayer Leverkusen. Fresh from booking their place in the quarter-finals round of the Europa League, the hosts will host Bayern looking to keep up the pace in their race for the top six. The hosts were not expected to compete for a place in the top six this season after they recorded their worst-ever start to a top-flight season. But an uptick in form since Xabi Alonso’s appointment as manager and recent back-to-back league victories have reignited their chase for the top-six, although they’re still six points adrift ahead of this round. Read more: PSG vs Rennes: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Their 2-0 win over Ferencváros on Thursday was Leverkusen’s fifth win in their last six competitive games (D1), so they will be confident of getting a good result in this game. But maturity will be necessary here if Alonso’s side are to break a six-game winless H2H streak in the Bundesliga (D1, L5), which included a 4-0 thrashing in this season’s reverse fixture. That win in the reverse fixture forms part of Bayern’s historical dominance of this fixture, in which they boast a daunting overall H2H advantage (W59, D18, L19).  However, the Bundesliga champions are under pressure here, with Borussia Dortmund trailing by two points heading into the weekend.  Julian Nagelsmann’s men will be desperate to enter the international break with their slender lead firmly secure. They held their nerve last time out to win, with a rollercoaster 5-3 victory over Augsburg, their fourth win in a row. Having scored their 71st league goal in that Augsburg win, Bayern will be confident of getting a win here. The Bavarians are often similarly ruthless on their travels, with the division’s best away side having lost just once on the road in all competitions since September (W10, D2). Therefore, all signs appear to point to that run continuing here.  Click here to get 100 Percent winning tips.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Borussia Dortmund will look to rekindle their title quest this Saturday when they take on FC Koln at Signal Iduna Park. The hosts are fighting perennial Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich for this season’s title. But their chances of ending the Bavarians’ run to an eleventh consecutive league title took a big hit last time when they were held to a 2-2 draw with Schalke 04 in the Revierderby. The draw followed a disappointing 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, confirming BVB’s exit from the Champions League. However, after a run of ten consecutive wins, two games without a win isn’t enough for Edin Terzić to panic just yet. Read more: Chelsea vs Everton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But with Bayern now two points ahead, the Dortmund manager will be desperate for his side to bounce back here and keep them within striking distance of Bayern ahead of the international break. The potential returns of Marco Reus and Karim Adeyemi should help here. As Dortmund have only lost one of the last 22 home H2Hs against Cologne (W17, D4), this could be an ideal opportunity for them to return to winning ways.  The visitors travel to Westfalenstadion in terrible form, having not won in their last four games (D1, L3). In fact, they failed to score in each of those games, resulting in a slide down the standings. They appear safe from the bottom three for the moment, though, while starting the round seven points from both the relegation zone and the top half means the destiny of their season is now clearly in their own hands. But having not won here with fans present since April 1991, it’ll be challenging for the Billy Goats to rediscover some goalscoring form. We suggest a sure home win prediction for this game.

Bayern Munich vs Augsburg: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will look to keep their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table when they welcome Augsburg to Allianz Arena on Saturday.  The hosts booked their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday thanks to a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain. The win was their third in a row and their fourth consecutive game, where they scored 2+ goals. The Bavarians sit joint-top at the Bundesliga table, alongside fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund. Ahead of this  Bavarian derby, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann will hope to continue his impressive personal record against Augbsurg. Read more: Napoli vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The Bayern coach has beaten these opponents more than any other (W12), although he lost out to them 1-0 earlier in the season – the only occasion Bayern have failed to score in their last 104 top-flight contests. Augsburg will likely suffer to win here, given that Bayern are unbeaten in their last 18 Bundesliga games at home (W12, D6). But the visitors will make the 40-mile trip to Allianz Arena boosted by triumph in their previous league outing. Augsburg beat Werder Bremen 2-1 last weekend to lift themselves eight points above the dropzone ahead of the Round. That’s the most significant cushion they’ve enjoyed over the relegation spots all season. However, there is one glaring problem ahead of this contest; their travel sickness. The Fuggerstädter have won all four of their top-flight home contests to start the year but lost all four of their away outings, marking the biggest contrast between home and away points of any Bundesliga side in 2023 (12), which perhaps makes what would be a surprise victory even more unlikely.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Hertha Berlin: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen will look to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they face Hertha Berlin this Sunday. The hosts have enjoyed impressive results in Europe this season, having booked their place in the next round of the Europa League last week. But they have struggled in the league in 2023, winning just one of their last five league games (D1, L3) and slipping down the table. They currently sit in 11th position, with a ten-point gap to the top-six ahead of this round. So their chances of a top-six finish is hanging by a thread unless they can return to winning ways. Read more: Manchester City vs Newcastle United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction A return to BayArena is unlikely to be the catalyst for success either, as Leverkusen are on the verge of losing three straight home league games for the second time this season – that’s something they hadn’t done on even one occasion in any of the previous eight campaigns. However, Hertha Berlin aren’t a team to be feared, especially away from home. The visitors come into this tie with a shocking away league form, having taken four points from home this season. They have lost their last six away games, and one more would make this their worst run since a nine-game streak in 2016/17.  Yet there is a glimmer of hope, though, as they’re unbeaten in six of their last seven league meetings with Leverkusen (W3, D3, L1).

Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will continue their quest to retain their Bundesliga title with a visit to Stuttgart this Saturday. While the visitors are flying high at the top of the table, the hosts are struggling at the other end of the table. Although they come into this tie sitting outside the relegation zone, their 2-1 loss to the toothless bottom-of-the-table Schalke 04 proved that they are in serious trouble unless they can regain their form. That loss to Schalke made it 21 consecutive away league games without a win. But at least they recorded a 3-0 win against Cologne in their last home game, so they’ll hope a return to the Mercedes-Benz Arena can ignite a change of fortunes. Read more: Napoli vs Lazio: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts also ended an unwanted all-time Bundesliga record of 31 straight home games without a clean sheet in that Cologne victory. However, they might struggle to build on that solid record against such strong opposition, especially as Bayern are the league’s top scorers with 64 goals this term. The Bavarians have scored 2+ goals in each of their last four league games and will fancy their chances of getting a few goals here too. After losing ground recently in the title race when they were beaten 3-2 by Borussia Mönchengladbach, the visitors reclaimed top spot with a 3-0 win over Union Berlin last time. But with Borussia Dortmund playing on Friday, they could have been knocked off the top spot come kick-off, so they’ll be keen to take advantage of a weakened Stuttgart and, in turn, extend their run of unbeaten Bundesliga games on Saturday’s primetime TV spot to 25 games (W19, D5).Meanwhile, given that Stuttgart have conceded a league-high ten goals in the opening 15 minutes this season whilst Bayern have scored a Bundesliga-high eleven goals in the same period, we can score early goals. So the best prediction for this game is goal first half.
