Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund: Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 2.12
It has been well-documented that Eintracht’s matches are goal-filled this season. The side from Frankfurt have been part of three consecutive 5-1 scorelines in the Champions League, and also won 6-4 at Borussia Monchengladbach. So even though Eintracht’s last result was a 2-0 home win over St Pauli, we expect a goal-fest when Dortmund come to town this week. In the Champions League, BVB have been involved in some thrilling contests of their own, drawing 4-4 with Juventus, beating Athletic Bilbao 4-1 and winning 4-2 in Copenhagen. With attacking stars like Serhou Guirassy, Karim Adeyemi, Jonathan Burkardt and Can Uzun set to be on show in Frankfurt, this should be entertaining from the first whistle to the last!
Hoffenheim to beat St Pauli @ 2.31
St Pauli are on a dreadful run of form in the Bundesliga, with last weekend’s loss at Eintracht their fifth on the bounce in the top flight. In contrast, Hoffenheim have won their last two matches, the first of them a 3-0 win at St Pauli. And last weekend’s 3-1 home win over Heidenheim was yet more confirmation that Christian Ilzer’s side are ready to compete for the European qualification places in the Bundesliga. With that in mind, we expect Hoffenheim to record another impressive victory at St Pauli. If you are interested, the odds for a repeat 0-3 scoreline in their favour are 19.00.
Bayer Leverkusen to beat Paderborn @ 1.69
Aside from a 7-2 home loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Leverkusen are on a pretty good run. Domestically, the 2023-24 Bundesliga champions are performing very well, with five wins from the last six in the top flight. So we expect Leverkusen to emerge victorious here, although Paderborn should give them a good run for their money. Paderborn are currently second in the 2. Bundesliga with seven wins from 10 matches and 17 goals scored. A closely-fought contest beckons, but Leverkusen’s additional quality and squad depth should see them over the line.
FC Koln vs Bayern Munich: Anytime goalscorer – Lennart Karl @ 3.00
Teenage star Karl has made quite the impression in a Bayern jersey of late. The fleet-footed attacker opened the scoring in the 4-0 Champions League victory over Club Brugge, before grabbing a second senior goal in last weekend’s 3-0 win at Borussia Monchengladbach. With matches against Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain fast approaching, Vincent Kompany may use this game as an opportunity to rest key players, paving the way for Karl to start from the off. And if he does so, we are tipping him to breach an FC Koln defence which has kept just one clean sheet in the last seven matches.
