Bundesliga Weekend Preview: Tips, Predictions, Odds

Round 6 of the Bundesliga fixtures kick off on Friday and here's your betting guide for this weekend.

Weekend betting preview Bundesliga

The Bundesliga continues this weekend with Friday's clash between Werder Bremen and FC Augsburg on September 9, 2022.

Last weekend, Bayern Munich dropped points consecutively in the Bundesliga for the first time this season after they were held to a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.

This weekend looks to be a different story as the champions are not expected to drop points for a considerable number of games in the league starting from this weekend's match against Stuttgart on Saturday.

Elsewhere on Saturday, RB Leipzig play hosts to Borussia Dortmund in the crunch tie of this weekend in Germany while Bayer Leverkusen travels to play Hertha Berlin.

Sunday sees Freiburg host Borussia Monchengladbach in the last match of the Round 6 fixtures in the Bundesliga.

Here are some selected fixtures you can bet on this weekend:

  • Julian Nagelsmann might be forced to rotate his side due to their Champions League clash with Barcelona in mid-week.
  • Jamal Musiala has recovered from an adductor injury, alongside Eric Choupo-Moting who recently had an operation to ease problems with kidney stones.
  • Kingsley Coman suffered a muscle injury in training on Friday and is ruled out here.
  • Laurin Ulrich is still struggling with a hip injury.
  • Luca Pfeiffer has been suspended for two more games after his recent red card, while Josha Vagnoman is also suspended after getting sent off last weekend.

On Head-to-Head, Bayern Munich has defeated Stuttgart 18 times in their last 20 matches, with Stuttgart picking up a win just once while drawing the other.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann has defeated Pellegrino Matarazzo 5 times in their last 7 meetings with the Stuttgart coach picking up a win once and drawing the other.

Bayern have seen over 2.5 goals in 16 of their last 19 home matches against Stuttgart in all competitions.

Bayern have scored at least 2 goals in their last 6 matches against Stuttgart in all competitions.

Stuttgart have drawn 6 of their last 7 away matches in the Bundesliga.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Stuttgart's last 3 games in the Bundesliga.

Despite Bayern Munich having a Champions League trip to Italy to recover from in midweek, the hosts are expected to pick maximum points at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

Stuttgart are yet to win their first match of the campaign and could even struggle in the league this season, especially if they keep on selling their best players, with Sasa Kalajdzic the latest of their stars to leave the club this summer.

This game is expected to be a straight win for Bayern Munich and it's no wonder why the Odds for Home to win this match is valued at 1.16 on BetKing.

You can also be sure that Bayern will massively attack as expected. Bayern's pressure in attack will most likely lead to corners. In that case, going for a Corners bet isn't entirely a risky option as the Odds for Over 8.5 Corners in the match is valued at 1.38 on BetKing.

RB Leipzig host Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at the Red Bull Arena.

  • Lukas Klostermann has a muscle injury, while striker Yussuf Poulsen is closing in on a return from a muscle injury.
  • Alexander Meyer will likely make his Bundesliga debut in goal after Gregor Kobel suffered a muscle injury.
  • Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Mahmoud Dahoud are both out for several months with a shoulder injury.
  • Karim Adeyemi is expected to be fit, but Mateu Morey has suffered another long-term knee injury and will be out for several months.
  • Donyell Malen will unlikely be rushed back from a muscle injury, while Sébastien Haller is still ruled out indefinitely with testicular cancer.

Having lost 4-0 in Frankfurt and 4-1 in the Champions League to Shakhtar Donetsk, Leipzig fired coach Domenico Tedesco, with former BVB boss Marco Rose taking over.

Leipzig won both Bundesliga meetings last season and BVB will unlikely succumb to a defeat on Saturday.

The odd for BVB to Win or Draw this match is valued at 1.58 on BetKing while fancying the BVB to score seems a much safer option with the Odds valued at 1.20.

Leipzig will look to bounce back from their hammering in mid-week and will most likely find the back of the net here as well with the Odds for Home To Score valued at 1.16.

There have been Over 1.5 goals in the last three matches between Hertha Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen.

Leverkusen have only won once in their last 7 matches in all competitions.

Likewise, Hertha Berlin have equally won just once in their last 7 matches in all competitions.

For either of the teams to win this match, which is very likely is valued at 1.25 odds on BetKing.

Although Freiburg look more dangerous than their visitors at the moment and it's no wonder why they are currently top of the Bundesliga standings alongside Dortmund after picking up 12 points from their first five matches in the league.

Over 1.5 is the likeliest option to play here with the odds for that outcome valued at 1.18 on BetKing.

Freiburg will likely score M'gladbach on Sunday with the Odds for Home to score valued at 1.13 Odds.

Marcus Thuram as well remains a threat for Monchengladbach in attack and the Odds for Away to score is valued at 1.26 on BetKing.

But ultimately, it's hard to see Freiburg lose to Monchengladbach on Sunday and so the Odds for the Home team to Win or Draw is valued at 1.30 on BetKing.
