Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including RB Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Bundesliga fixtures, including RB Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt.

RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt will be competing to move back into the top four of the Bundesliga when they meet each other on Saturday.

Both sides were involved in the Champions League knockout stages in midweek, with Frankfurt losing to Napoli and Leipzig holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt


Although both teams may start without their most potent attackers due to fitness concerns, we expect to see an entertaining contest between two of Germany's Champions League representatives on Saturday.

While Frankfurt continue to punch above their weight under Glasner, there is little doubt that they are a more effective force on home turf, and we can envisage a narrow Leipzig win as they continue their surge under Rose's tutelage.

FC Koln and Wolfsburg are separated by just four points in the Bundesliga table ahead of their showdown at RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday afternoon.

Following a run of three losses in four games, the Wolves occupy seventh place in the standings, while the Billy Goats sit 12th – seven points clear of the bottom three.

We say: FC Koln 2-1 Wolfsburg


FC Koln have suffered a solitary defeat in six games since the restart, picking up positive results against the likes of Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, while Wolfsburg have lost three of their last four outings.

On top of that, Koln's recent record at RheinEnergieStadion is hugely impressive, so we expect the Billy Goats to edge out the Wolves on home soil.

Hoffenheim vs. Dortmund (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Hoffenheim will be aiming to bounce back from four successive league defeats when they host Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Dortmund, meanwhile, moved level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga with their sixth consecutive victory last weekend.

We say: Hoffenheim 1-3 Borussia Dortmund


While the absence of Adeyemi could make Dortmund a less potent threat in transition, they will surely still possess enough firepower to swat aside a woefully out-of-sorts Hoffenheim side.

Saturday's meeting represents bottom versus top as far as the form table is concerned, with the visitors growing in belief that they can push Bayern all of the way for the league title this season.

Hertha Berlin will aim to enhance their chances of Bundesliga survival when they welcome Augsburg to the Olympiastadion on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts were crushed 4-1 by Borussia Dortmund last time out, while the visitors moved seven points clear of Hertha with a 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim.

We say: Hertha Berlin 1-1 Augsburg


Given that Augsburg have lost five of their last six away games, Hertha Berlin look set to avoid defeat this weekend, although the struggling hosts will likely have to settle for a point.

Werder Bremen vs. VfL Bochum (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Both teams will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when Werder Bremen host VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Werder could move into the top half of the table with a win, while Bochum must avoid defeat if they are to climb outside of the bottom three.

We say: Werder Bremen 2-1 VfL Bochum


Neither side will be at full strength due to a combination of injury and suspension issues, but we still expect Werder to edge to victory given Bochum's wretched record on the road this season.

The relegation strugglers have lost 10 of their 11 away games in the Bundesliga, conceding 32 goals and scoring only seven. Having blanked in his last three matches, Niclas Fullkrug will surely sense an opportunity to add to his tally of 13 league goals so far this campaign.

Schalke vs. Stuttgart (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Schalke 04 host Stuttgart in a relegation six-pointer in the Bundesliga's Saturday night game.

Schalke drew 0-0 for the fourth successive match last weekend, while Stuttgart ended a winless run of six matches to move outside of the bottom three.

We say: Schalke 04 0-0 Stuttgart


Having been involved in four consecutive goalless draws, Schalke have clearly tightened up defensively in recent weeks, but Reis will be looking for his side to display more offensive threat against an opponent also fighting against relegation.

However, with so much at stake in this match, it would not be a surprise to see Schalke draw 0-0 yet again. Stuttgart will have been buoyed by keeping a clean sheet last weekend and may not be too disappointed to avoid defeat once again.
