Top Bundesliga Matches to Watch and Bet On From Jan. 7th to 8th

Monchengladbach +1 ½ -117 vs Bayern Munich -1 ½ -112

When: Friday, Jan. 7

Bayern has won 5 straight. The favorite to win the Champions League put a 3-0 beating onto Barcelona on Dec. 8.

On Dec. 17, Bayern dusted Wolfsburg 4-0. But before dumping on Bayern, realize that Gladbach destroyed BM 5-0 in the last head-to-head. However, that match was a DFB Pokal throw down. Bayern is playing too well to ignore. They can dominate Monchen by 2 or more goals.

Soccer Pick: Bayern Munich

FSV Mainz +310 vs RB Leipzig -128

When: Saturday, Jan. 8

Leipzig should be a lock, right? Not so fast. These two show similar enough form for us to take a long look at Mainz.

Both have a couple of victories in their last 5. The difference is that Mainz shows 3 losses in their last 5 and Leipzig only has 2. Mainz has won the last couple of head-to-head matches, though. The road team offers overlay odds so that’s the way we’ll go.

Soccer Pick: FSV Mainz

Arminia Bielefeld +420 vs SC Freiburg -166

When: Saturday, Jan. 8

Dortmund and Bayern has pulled away from early Bundesliga contender Freiburg. The home team in this has 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw in their last 5.

Arminia might be catching Freiburg at the perfect time. The road dog has won 2 straight, both by 2-0 scores, against Bochum and Leipzig. Bielefeld is the play.

Soccer Pick: Arminia Bielefeld

Union Berlin +310 vs Bayer Leverkusen -126

When: Saturday, Jan. 8

Since a 7-1 victory over Greuther Furth on Dec. 4, Bayer Leverkusen has fallen apart. Leverkusen has lost 3-of-4 with a draw.

All 3 losses were to teams Bayer should have at least played competitively against. Union Berlin is in better form, having drawn with Freiburg on Dec. 15 and having beaten Bochum on Dec. 18. At the odds, Berlin is an overlay.

Soccer Pick: Union Berlin

FC Augsburg +420 vs TSG Hoffenheim -118

When: Saturday, Jan. 8

Both teams have drawn in their last couple of matches. Augsburg drew 1-1 against Leipzig and 0-0 versus Greuther Furth.

Hoffenheim drew 2-2 versus Leverkusen and 1-1 against Monchengladbach. A draw is possible. But in the last head-to-head, the home squad rolled to a 4-0 victory. Hoffenheim offers fair odds to make it 2 straight against Augsburg.

Soccer Pick: Hoffenheim

Borussia Dortmund -104 vs Eintracht Frankfurt +225

When: Saturday, Jan. 8

Dortmund heads to Frankfurt having won just 2-of-5. Borussia failed versus Hertha Berlin in a 3-2 match on Dec. 18.

Frankfurt is in much better form. The home squad has won 3 straight. So even though Dortmund blasted Frankfurt 5-2 in the last head-to-head, the home team gets the call.

Soccer Pick: Eintracht Frankfurt
