After La Liga and Serie A, it is time for German Bundesliga to present some exciting games and the most attractive one of them in my point of view is where Leverkusen hosts the giant Leipzig. Schalke and Frankfurt fixture would also be there to deliver some goosebumps so without any further delay let's have a look at my humble predictions and confident picks for the upcoming fixtures from Bundesliga.
Both teams in this fixture are sitting right next to each other at the bottom of the table where they have started to realize that time is running out fast. Therefore, both have begun to take measures and are trying to recover from this situation in order to keep a safe distance form the relegation zone. The hosts have somewhat been more successful in doing so which is evident from a couple of draws and a victory that they have managed in their recent fixtures. The visitors have also begun to sharpen their nails as they managed to dig out a home ground victory against Augsburg. Does it mean that they are out of their losing streak? Nobody can know for sure but the important thing here is that they are on road and their away record demonstrates that they lost all the games (100%) which is not a good sign as this fixture could have been a good chance for them to recover. The hosts have been undefeated for at least 50% of the time on the home ground which goes in their advantage. However, even though their goal scoring potential is almost similar to that of the visitors but they have a slightly weaker defense that can turn out to be an advantage for the away team as they are coming to this fixture with better confidence. Despite that, the hosts are the favorite here but the low odds (1.8) do not justify their current form, I see potential in backing the away/draw option.
- Away/Draw @2.0
- 60% chance of over 2.5 goals @1.9
- Score prediction 1-2 or 2-2
- Bet value: Medium-High

The hosts might have been a tough nut to crack before but recently they are in a constant downfall while the visitors are not only on a winning streak but are also standing 10 ranks above the hosts. Their head-to-head fixtures were mostly dominated by the visitors as well and they are one of my favorite teams from this fixture. Even though if I try not to be biased, it is quite comforting to see that the visitors have beaten Inter and have managed draws with Leipzig and Bremen on the road which indicates their strong potential to win this fixture. The only reason that I see for the high odds available for the away win is their head-to-head fixtures where Frankfurt could hardly win the games, however, in their last h2h they defeated Schalke with 3 goals to nil. Moreover, Frankfurt's goal scoring and conceding stats are way better than the hosts because of which I believe backing them with a larger stake can turn out to be a good choice.
- Away win @2.26 (More stake if odds go higher)
- 48% chance of over 2.5 goals so I would not advise even though I believe we would see more goals.
- Bet value: High

Both teams in this fixture are almost the mirror image of each other as they like to score and don't much resist their opponents from finding their net as well. Because of which their fixtures are a pure gamble and a 50-50 chance has led them to stand next to each other at the middle of the table. They both would be looking forward to this fixture to grab a victory where the hosts are on a 3 game losing streak while the visitors are having a roller coaster of results with some wins and losses. The home form of the hosts is not much better than the away form of the visitors as they both have lost 50% matches, hence, I don't think that the home advantage may play a good role here. Therefore, considering the reverse martingale strategy, I would prefer to bet on the winning streak of the away team rather than the losing one of the home. Also, the odds available for the away/draw are comfortable enough to cover both options.
- Away/Draw @1.89 or Handicap +0.5 Fortuna @2.0
- Over 2.5 goals @1.88 is a good grab
- Bet value: Medium
- Best odds for this fixture
The host team is a ferociously massive side to back here as they have been often seen to blast the net of their weak opponents with at least 3 goals. If a team may somehow resist them for some time only then the match would end in a couple of goals otherwise they keep scoring until they confirm their lead followed by enjoying the game. However, we may often find them letting their opponents score in a similar fashion as well. They defeated Fortuna with 5 goals and lost to Bayern with 6 goals so one thing that is most probably is the high number of goals scored in their fixtures. And, in this case, the away team is an underdog in fact currently at the bottom of the table and is going to be relegated. They have the weakest defense of all and their form is nothing less than devastating as they have lost all of their recent games and of course their away form is not any better. They have a high conceding potential which can help us grab some better odds for backing the home win by letting the away team have a goal advantage.
- Handicap -1 Wolfsburg @2.0 (2.1 available elsewhere so offering better odds on the opposite side)
- Over 3.0 goals @1.95
- Bet value: Medium
- Best odd for this fixture
This is the most interesting fixture from the league where both teams are an almost equal match. The hosts are 4 ranks below the visitors but it is not a true reflection of their potential. They have notched some great victories in the past but they are facing a slight decline in the form. However, those fixtures were against stronger teams and the visitors here are one of them which is not delivering a good vibe. Moreover, the away team are undefeated in their recent fixtures with some handsome wins again Schalke and Hertha. Their away form is also quite reasonable as they have been unbeaten on the road. Both teams have almost equal scoring potential but when it comes to conceding one, the visitors have let their opponents reach their nets twice less than the home team. Therefore, backing the away/draw option in this case with some adequate availability of the odds can be a nice grab.
- Handicap +0.5 Leipzig @2.0
- Away win @2.72
- Over 2.5 goals
- Bet value: Medium-High
