Top Bundesliga Games to Watch this Weekend (Jan. 16th – 17th)
Saturday, January 16th Matches
- Mainz +2 (-114) / Dortmund -2 (-114)
Dortmund has won 4-of-5 while Mainz has won 3-of-4. Dortmund beat Mainz 2-2 in the last couple of head-to-head matches. Because the chalk is at home, they get the nod to dominate by more than a couple of goals.
Soccer Free Pick: Dortmund
- RB Leipzig +100 / Wolfsburg +246
In the lone 2020 match, Leipzig and Wolfsburg drew. RB is a better squad than Wolfsburg. The home team is getting the benefit of the doubt here. They shouldn’t. Dortmund scorched Leipzig by 2 goals in RB’s last. Back the road team at the better than fair even money odds.
Soccer Free Pick: RB Leipzig
- Arminia Bielefeld +1 (-144) / Hoffenheim -1 (+108)
Hoffenheim has lost 4-of-5. The home squad still requires a look, though, because Arminia has won 2-of-3. It’s hard to see Bielefeld continuing it’s upward trend. There’s a chance Hoffenheim gets back on the winning track with a huge 2 goal win.
Soccer Free Pick: Hoffenheim
- Hertha +123 / Cologne +217
Both Hertha and Cologne have lost 2 out of their last 3. The difference? Hertha has bookend losses while Cologne has lost 3 in a row. Hertha is the play. We can’t back Cologne after watching Freiburg beat them 5-0.
Soccer Free Pick: Hertha
- Augsburg +227 / Werder Bremen +118
Neither squad is in good form. Werder Bremen, though, drew with top team Leverkusen in their last. Werder gets Augsburg at home for this match. That’s enough of a reason to back the favorites.
Soccer Free Pick: Werder Bremen
- Monchengladbach +121 / Stuttgart +183
Since a 1-2 loss against Hoffenheim on Dec. 19, Gladbach has played like the best squad in the Bundesliga. The chalk has won 3 in a row. No victory was as impressive as a late game surge to get past Bayern Munich 3-2 on January 8. Monchengladbach should beat Stuttgart.
Soccer Free Pick: Monchengladbach
Sunday, January 17th Matches
- Freiburg +2 (-118) / Bayern Munich -2 (-116)
What’s up with Bayern? The loss to Gladbach is concerning but not unbelievable. Losing to Holstein Kiel via penalty kicks in a German DFB Pokal match is concerning. Freiburg is hot. The underdog has won 4-of-5. Bayern should get back on the winning track in this, though. Bayern has beaten Freiburg by at least 2 goals in the last couple of head-to-battles. We’ll take the 2 goals on Freiburg, but Bayern wins the match.
Soccer Free Pick: Freiburg
- Schalke 04 +1 (-101) / Frankfurt -1 (-131)
Most expect Frankfurt to bounce back from the 1-4 loss against Leverkusen. They may. But it could be tough beating Schalke by more than a goal. 04 has won 2-of-3, including dominating Hoffenheim 4-0 in their last. Back Schalke at +1.
Soccer Free Pick: Schalke 04
