Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich

sportsmole.co.uk, 30 September 2023, 05:15
Wolfsburg vs. Frankfurt (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Wolfsburg will be determined to bounce back from defeat last time out when they host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, remain unbeaten after their opening five games, but four successive draws have slowed their progress in terms of climbing the table.

We say: Wolfsburg 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt

With Frankfurt boasting the best defensive record in the division yet simultaneously the joint-worst offensive tally, it is hard to envisage many goals flying in at either end at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.

The visitors have drawn each of their last four league games and it would be no surprise to see them extend that run, especially with Wolfsburg arguably due one having either won or lost all of their matches so far this season.

Mainz vs. B. Leverkusen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

High-flying Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to extend their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season when they face winless Mainz 05 at Mewa Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Sitting level on points with leaders Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso's side crushed Heidenheim 4-1 last time out, while the 05ers suffered a 2-1 defeat against Augsburg to remain at the foot of the table.

We say: Mainz 05 1-4 Bayer Leverkusen

While winless Mainz have conceded 14 goals in five Bundesliga matches this season, unbeaten Leverkusen have scored 17 goals in five league outings, so we expect Alonso's men to heap more misery on the 05ers by notching another high-scoring victory.

FC Koln vs. Stuttgart (Saturday, 2.30pm)

FC Koln will be hoping to win their first league game of the season when they host Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, have exceeded all pre-season expectations so far by winning four of their opening five matches.

We say: FC Koln 1-2 Stuttgart

Stuttgart have been the surprise package of the Bundesliga so far this season, with Guirassy in unstoppable form, and we can envisage them continuing their impressive run of results with another victory this weekend.

Koln appear to be a team on a downwards trajectory, with Baumgart undoubtedly possessing an array of technically gifted midfielders, but they are perhaps lacking firepower in front of them to more effectively take games away from their opponents.

VfL Bochum vs. Borussia M'bach (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Both teams will be aiming to record their first league wins of the season when VfL Bochum host Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

The visitors head into the encounter one point behind their forthcoming opponents, after both teams suffered defeat last time out.

We say: VfL Bochum 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

Neither team has started the season as well as they would have hoped so far, particularly the visitors, whose decline across the last couple of years appears set to reach new lows if they are not careful.

Bochum are generally very difficult to beat on their home turf under Letsch, and we can envisage the two sides' winless runs both continuing for another weekend at least, with a draw the most likely outcome between two relatviely evenly-matched sides.

Heidenheim vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Both sides will be aiming to bounce back from defeat in their last matches when Heidenheim host Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Heidenheim were beaten 4-1 away to high-flying Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, while Union Berlin surprisingly lost 2-0 at home to Hoffenheim.

We say: Heidenheim 1-3 Union Berlin

Although Heidenheim have began the campaign in slightly better fettle than expected, they have looked extremely open defensively at times, and we expect Union Berlin to punish them this weekend.

Fischer's side are simply too good for their current poor run of form to continue much longer, and they will be targeting Saturday's fixture as an excellent opportunity to return to winning ways.

RB Leipzig vs. Bayern (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Saturday's heavyweight showdown between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich at Red Bull Arena takes centre stage in the Bundesliga this weekend.

Both sides advanced to the second round of the DFB-Pokal in midweek and return to league action with a solitary point between them in the standings.

We say: RB Leipzig 2-2 Bayern Munich

Buoyed by last month's DFL-Supercup triumph, RB Leipzig will be confident of picking up another positive result against Bayern Munich, although the hosts will struggle to claim all three points as the free-scoring Bavarians aim to make amends.
