Top Bundesliga Games to Watch and Bet On This Weekend
UEFA Bundesliga Games – Matchday 1
- When: Friday, Aug. 13 – Sunday, Aug. 15
Bayern Munich -1 ½ (+122) Vs Monchengladbach +1 ½ (-161)
- When: Friday, Aug. 13
Bayern played four club friendlies. They didn’t win a single one. This is a different Munich squad than what we saw last season. But as long as Robert Lewandowski play for Bayern, and he still calls Munich home, BM should have no trouble against Gladbach.
Soccer Pick: Bayern Munich
Saturday, Aug. 14Bochum +420 Vs Wolfsburg -178
- When: Saturday, Aug. 14
Bochum has won 3-of-4 with a draw. But this is Bochum’s first match in the top German League division. Last season, Bochum played in the second-division. Wolfsburg is one of the Bundesliga’s better teams. The home squad takes this.
Soccer Pick: Wolfsburg
Leverkusen +148 Vs Union Berlin +180
- When: Saturday, Aug. 14
Berlin beat Leverkusen in January. In May, these two drew. Berlin won their first German DFB Pokal match. Leverkusen did as well. The road team’s Pokal victory was more impressive than the home team’s. Leverkusen gets the nod.
Soccer Pick: Leverkusen
Greuther Furth +285 Vs Stuttgart -125
- When: Saturday, Aug. 14
On August 7, Stuttgart beat Dynamo Berlin 6-0. Greuther Furth is a better team than Dynamo Berlin, but the victory shows that Stuttgart is ready for the season. Also, the odds on Stuttgart are more than fair.
Soccer Pick: Stuttgart
Freiburg +145 Vs Arminia Bielefeld +185
- When: Saturday, Aug. 14
On May 22, Bielefeld beat Stuttgart 2-0. Then on August 7, Arminia dominated Beyruth in a German DFB Pokal match 6-3. Freiburg won their first Pokal contest. Arminia won the last head-to-head, though, and offers better odds. Plus, this happens on Bielefeld’s pitch.
Soccer Pick: Arminia Bielefeld
Frankfurt +1 ½ (-133) Vs Dortmund -1 ½ (+100)
- When: Saturday, Aug. 14
Dortmund must play without Jadon Sancho, which is one of the reasons they’re +100 on the handicap even though they take on Frankfurt at home. Sancho may be gone. Erling Haaland isn’t. Dortmund covers the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Dortmund
Leipzig -1 ½ (-103) Vs Mainz +1 ½ (-128)
- When: Sunday, Aug. 15
Mainz won the last head-to-head. To be fair, though, the match happened on January 23. Leipzig is a much better team than the home squad. The road favorites head into this after beating Sandhausen 4-0 in their first German DFB Pokal match. Mainz drew with Elversberg in their first DFB contest. The road team covers.
Soccer Pick: Leipzig
Hertha +165 Vs Cologne +155
- When: Sunday, Aug. 15
Hertha is on a 3-match winning streak. Cologne is on a 2-match winning streak. In the last couple of head-to-head matches, Hertha and Cologne have drawn. Another draw is more than probable.
Soccer Pick: Draw
