Top Bundesliga Matches to Watch and Bet On From Dec. 17th to 19th

Vfl Wolfsburg +2 ½ -153 vs Bayern Munich -2½ +116

When: Friday, Dec. 17

Bayern is back to doing what they do best, dominating opponents. Munich blasted Barcelona by 3 on Dec. 8. In their last, Bayern beat Stuttgart 5-0.

Wolfsburg has lost 5 straight. So they’re a play against on the moneyline. There’s a chance the road team keeps this to within a 2-goal loss. But the odds, -153, make Wolfsburg unplayable. Laying the goals on Bayern is the best play.

Soccer Pick: Bayern Munich

Mainz +205 vs Frankfurt +121

When: Saturday, Dec. 18

Both teams have won 2-of-5 and both teams won their last match via a blowout. Mainz dropped Hertha 4-0. Frankfurter blasted Leverkusen 5-2.

The home team beat the better opponent, but the odds make Mainz an overlay. The road squad lost by a single goal, 2-1, to Bayern on Dec. 11, which proves Mainz can hang with the best in the Bundesliga. The road squad can win.

Soccer Pick: Mainz

Arminia Bielefeld +1 ½ +128 vs RB Leipzig -1 ½ -172

When: Saturday, Dec. 18

On Dec. 14, Arminia beat Bochum 2-0. But although Arminia heads into this off a victory, they’re up against it versus RB Leipzig.

The home chalk has won 2 straight. Both wins impressed big time, 2-1 against Man City in a Champions League match, and 4-1 versus Gladbach.

Leipzig can blow out Bielefeld. The odds, though, make us turn to the road team. Arminia lost by just a single goal in the last head-to-head. Also, after beating a couple of much stronger opponents, RB could suffer a letdown versus lowly Arminia.

Soccer Pick: Arminia Bielefeld

Monchengladbach +195 vs TSG Hoffenheim +119

When: Saturday, Dec. 18

Monchen and Hoffenheim show contrasting form. Gladbach has lost their last 3 matches.

Hoffenheim has won 4 straight. 3 of Hoffenheim’s victories, against Freiburg, Leipzig and Frankfurt are legit. Monchengladbach fell by 3 goals, 4-1, to Leipzig on Dec. 11. Hoffenheim gets the call.

Soccer Pick: TSG Hoffenheim

Borussia Dortmund -169 vs Hertha +380

When: Saturday, Dec. 18

Hertha had been in good form with a couple of draws and a win. But then Dec. 14 happened.

On that day, Main spanked Hertha 4-0. Dortmund is in slightly better form, having beaten Besiktas by a 5-0 score in a Champions League match and drawing 1-1 with Bochum in their last.

Hertha’s odds entice. It’s difficult seeing Dortmund losing this, though. Erling Haaland and his squad gets the nod.

Soccer Pick: Borussia Dortmund

Bayer Leverkusen +134 vs Freiburg +175

When: Sunday, Dec. 19

Both teams are looking for a form reversal. On Dec. 5, Freiburg beat up Gladbach 6-0. But outside of the impressive win over Monchen, Freiburg has struggled, losing 4-of-5.

Leverkusen has won 3 straight, but has since dropped 2 in a row. Freiburg has home pitch advantage. But Leverkusen is much better than what they’ve shown. The road team is the play.

Soccer Pick: Bayer Leverkusen
