Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Union Berlin vs. Bayern Munich

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Bundesliga action including Union Berlin vs. Bayern Munich.


RB Leipzig vs. Werder Bremen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

RB Leipzig entertain Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the hosts able to move into top spot with a victory.

The visitors, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after two successive defeats.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-0 Werder Bremen


Both sides are missing first-team players through injury, but Bremen's are arguably more influential in the shape of their two most likely goalscoring attackers.

As such, even with the tolls of the midweek win against Man Utd likely to have an impact on Leipzig's energy levels at some stage, we still expect a comfortable home win for Nagelsmann's side.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Mainz 05 vs. FC Koln (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Two sides already looking like candidates for relegation from the Bundesliga will do battle at the Opel Arena on Saturday afternoon as Mainz 05 play host to FC Koln.

Jan-Moritz Lichte's side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in their most recent outing, whereas Koln played out a 2-2 draw with high-flying Wolfsburg.

We say: Mainz 05 1-2 FC Koln


Both of these strugglers have been showing the early signs of a welcome revival in recent weeks, and the two managers should set their sides up to attack in what is certainly a winnable game for both Mainz and Koln. However, the confidence will be much higher in the visitors' camp in comparison to a Mainz side who just lost to one of the newly-promoted teams, so we are tipping the Billy Goats to come up trumps on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Dortmund vs. Stuttgart (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund take on Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the hosts looking to get back to winning ways after picking up just one point from their last two league matches.

The visitors, meanwhile, have lost just once since the opening day and will have every confidence of pulling off an upset.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Stuttgart


We can envisage Stuttgart's unbeaten away record remaining intact at the end of the 90 minutes, with their counter-attacking game likely to cause Dortmund plenty of problems in transition.

With Haaland missing in attack, meanwhile, BVB may find Matarazzo's side tough to break down.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Borussia Monchengladbach take on Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the hosts likely to be in celebratory mood having qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in the club's history on Wednesday.

The visitors' spirits would have been similarly lifted by their 3-1 derby day win over Union Berlin last weekend.

We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-2 Hertha Berlin


We can envisage an open encounter at Borussia Park, with the hosts likely to be buoyed by progressing in the Champions League in midweek.

However, Hertha should be fresher having not played since last Friday, with the likes of Dodi Lukebakio, Cunha and Piatek ready to damage Gladbach in transition.

Our tipster partners are predicting that both teams will score (BTTS - yes).

Freiburg vs. Arminia Bielefeld (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Freiburg will be aiming to end their nine-game winless run in the Bundesliga when they welcome fellow strugglers Arminia Bielefeld to the Schwarzwald-Stadion on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts played out a 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach last time out, whereas Arminia won only their second game of the season with a 2-1 triumph over Mainz 05.

We say: Freiburg 2-0 Arminia Bielefeld


Freiburg's position in the Bundesliga table is becoming more precarious by the week, and Arminia have every right to be feeling confident after finally picking up a vital win last week. However, Breisgau-Brasilianer were full value for their draw with Monchengladbach and will view this match as the perfect opportunity to give their fans something to cheer about, so we are backing Streich's side to pick up a long-overdue three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Union Berlin vs. Bayern (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Union Berlin entertain Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga in Saturday's evening kickoff, with the hosts looking to bounce back from last weekend's disappointing derby defeat to Hertha Berlin.

Bayern, meanwhile, have drawn two of their last three league matches, so they will be looking to go on another winning run before the winter break begins.

We say: Union Berlin 0-2 Bayern Munich


With Kruse and Andrich out for the hosts, we don't envisage them being able to stop Bayern despite the visitors' slight dip in performance levels in recent weeks.

With Coman, Muller and Lewandowski in superb form, the Bavarians should have too much firepower for Fischer's outfit.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
