Top Bundesliga Games to Watch this Week (Apr. 16th – 18th)

Friday, April 16th Match

  • Hoffenheim +1 ½ (-133) / RB Leipzig -1 ½ (+100)

Hoffenheim’s form leaves much to be desired. The road team in this has 3 losses and a draw in their last 5. Leipzig has won 2-of-3. RB’s last loss was by a goal to Bayern on April 3. Leipzig beat Hoffenheim 1-0 on Dec. 16. Although there’s a greater chance of Hoffenheim losing by a single goal on Friday, the odds on Leipzig at -1 ½ makes them the play.

Saturday, April 17th Matches

  • Frankfurt +154 / Monchengladbach +146

Both Frankfurt and Gladbach are in good enough form to warrant a look. Monchengladbach has won 2-of-3. The home squad in this match drew 2-2 with Hertha Berlin in their last. Frankfurt is on a 3-match winning streak. One of the victories was a 2-to-1 win against Dortmund. Give the road team a shot.

  • Bayern Munich -106 / Wolfsburg +244

Bayern’s 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg wasn’t enough to send the Bundesliga power to the UCL semifinals. PSG won the aggregate. Things don’t get easier for Bayern because Wolfsburg is a tough team to get past. Bayern beat Wolfsburg 2-1 on Dec. 16. But before dumping on Bayern realize that, again, they must play without Robert Lewandowski. Backing Wolfsburg is the best play.

Soccer Free Pick: Wolfsburg 

  • Schalke 04 +374 / Freiburg -153

Facing Schalke is an automatic win, right? Not anymore. Schalke upset Augsburg 1-0 on April 11. Could the 04ers make it 2 wins in a row? Probably not, but backing Freiburg, a team that has lost 4-of-5 and 2 in a row at the current odds doesn’t seem wise.  

Soccer Free Pick: Schalke 04 

  • Arminia Bielefeld +199 / Augsburg +134

Home pitch often means a lot in games between lower-level teams like Arminia Bielefeld and Augsburg. But although Augsburg has won the last couple of head-to-head, they lost to Schalke in their last. Arminia has a shot.

Soccer Free Pick: Arminia Bielefeld

  • Cologne +408 / Leverkusen -163

Cologne is a massive underdog versus Leverkusen because they’ve drawn twice and lost 3 times in their last 5. Leverkusen dominated Cologne 4-0 in the last head-to-head. The victory was so devastating to Cologne that we’re willing to lay the -163 on the chalk. 

Soccer Free Pick: Leverkusen  

Sunday, April 18th Matches

  • Werder Bremen +1 ½ (-135) / Dortmund +1 ½ (-100)

Dortmund has won the last couple of head-to-head matches. By losing by a single goal, 2-1, Werder beat Dortmund on the handicap in the last. This could go either way, though. Dortmund looks like a solid play at -100.

Soccer Free Pick: Dortmund 

  • Hertha Berlin +188 / Mainz +144

Both teams are in decent form, but Mainz’s form is slightly better. The home squad has won 3-of-5. They drew in the other 2 matches. At the odds, Mainz is the play. If Mainz becomes an underlay, though, consider backing Hertha.

Soccer Free Pick: Mainz +144
