Matchday 8 | Friday, October 20th – Sunday, October 22nd, 2023
FC Union Berlin vs VfB Stuttgart
Bundesliga Odds: FC Union Berlin +149; VfB Stuttgart +175
Saturday, October 21th at 9:30 am ET
An der alten Försterei, Berlin, Germany
Although Union Berlin is the chalk and takes on rival Stuttgart on their pitch, Berlin is impossible to back. Union’s last win came on May 27 last year.
Berlin has suffered 10 straight losses. There’s no reason to think Stuttgart, which is 6-0-1 and a point behind league leader Leverkusen on the standings, doesn’t make it 11 defeats in a row.

SC Freiburg vs VfL Bochum
Bundesliga Odds: SC Freiburg -139; VfL Bochum +370
Saturday, October 21st at 9:30 am ET
Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Bochum shows 3 draws and a couple of losses in their last 5. The road underdog in this drew 0-0 versus RB Leipzig in their last Bundesliga match on Oct 7.
Freiburg is on a 2-match losing streak. However, Freiburg’s losses make sense. On Oct 5, Freiburg lost to West Ham United in a Europa League match. Then 3 days later, Freiburg had to travel to Bayern Munich, which explains the second loss. The home team bounces back with a regulation win.

SV Darmstadt vs RB Leipzig
Bundesliga Odds: SV Darmstadt +400; RB Leipzig -227
Saturday, October 21st at 9:30 am ET
Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor, Darmstadt, Germany
Leipzig isn’t in decent form. The massive road favorite has drawn twice in their last 3 with a loss. The 2 draws came against Bayern Munich and Bochum. The loss was against Manchester City in a Champions League match.
But although Leipzig has lost 2-of-3 and face a Darmstadt side that has won 2 straight, we can’t go against RBL. Leipzig faced two of the top teams in the world in the Sky Blues and Bayern. Versus Darmstadt, the road chalk should score a regulation win.

TSG Hoffenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Bundesliga Odds: TSG Hoffenheim +110; Eintracht Frankfurt +220
Saturday, October 21st at 9:30 am ET
PreZero Arena, Sinsheim, Germany
On Oct 8, Frankfurt broke a 2-game losing streak when beating Heidenheim 2-0. However, just because Frankfurt broke the streak, it doesn’t mean they’re ready to beat Hoffenheim on the road.
1 of Eintracht’s losses was in a Europa Conference League match against PAOK Salonika. Hoffenheim has won 4-of-5 with their lone loss coming against Dortmund. Hoffenheim prevails.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
Bundesliga Odds: VfL Wolfsburg +320; Bayer Leverkusen -140
Saturday, October 21st at 9:30 am ET
Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg, Germany
Wolfsburg shows 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5. Wolfsburg’s last match resulted in a loss to Stuttgart.
On Saturday, the home team faces the Bundesliga’s top squad. Bayer Leverkusen has yet to lose a Bundesliga match. The odds make the road fave playable.

Mainz vs Bayern Munich
Bundesliga Odds: Mainz +1.5 +115; Bayern Munich -1.5 -155
Saturday, October 21st at 12:30 pm ET
MEWA ARENA, Mainz, Germany
The good news about Mainz is that they didn’t lose their last. However, they didn’t win their last, either.
Bayern dusted Freiburg 3-0 in their last match. Munich has won the last 4 head-to-head matches by at least 2 goals. So backing Bayern to cover the handicap spread line makes sense.
