FC Koln vs RB Leipzig
Monday 1st June 2020
Bundesliga – RheinEnergie STADION

Live on BT Sport 1HD – Kick-off 19:30 BST

The Bundesliga action continues on Monday evening as RB Leipzig travel to face FC Koln.

Both sides have started slowly since the Bundesliga’s resumption, but will be looking to pick up a positive result on Monday evening. In their last fixture Koln were defeated 3-1 away to Hoffenheim, meanwhile RB Leipzig were held 2-2 at home by Hertha Berlin; a result which saw them lose even more ground in the race for the title.

Koln are yet to win any of their three matches following the Bundesliga’s stoppage. Markus Gisdol’s side are without a win in their last four Bundesliga encounters and their poor run of form has seen them slip into the bottom half of the division.

RB Leipzig on the other hand have picked up where they left off in the Bundesliga and are unbeaten in their three matches since the re-start of football in Germany. Leipzig currently occupy 3rd place in the division, and trail 2nd placed Borussia Dortmund by two points. Julian Nagelsmann’s side are unbeaten in all competitions since January, a run which consists of eleven matches. SkyBet are offering odds of 4/7 for a Leipzig victory on Monday evening.

Despite having the lowest number of defeats in the Bundesliga this season, Leipzig’s tendency to draw matches has been their achilles heel. Ten of Leipzig’s twenty-five encounters this season have ended in a stalemate.

Leipzig were 4-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in November and boast the better recent record in this fixture. They’ve won three of the last five matches in this fixture. Koln’s most recent win came back in February 2018, where they were 2-1 winners.

BTTS has landed in each of the last five encounters between these two sides. BTTS in this fixture is priced at 8/15, whereas BTTS and Leipzig to win is at odds of 7/4.

This match will be televised live on BT Sport 1 HD with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 BST on Monday evening.

Bundesliga, Benteler Arena 

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:00 BST

Bottom of the Bundesliga SC Paderborn take on second-placed Borussia Dortmund in league action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts managed to muster one point from their last outing against Augsburg, but their overall picture looks bleak – nine points from safety. And now, a badly timed visit from one of the league’s most prolific teams in on the cards as Borussia Dortmund will hope to get on foot closer to securing a top four finish. Dortmund’s title hopes took a huge blow after their 1-0 loss to league leaders Bayern Munich.

SC Paderborn are heavy outsiders for the encounter and are priced at 8/1 to win the match by SkyBet. Paderborn’s season makes for grim reading as they are all but staring relegation in the face. They have claimed just one win from their last nine home matches and have scored just one goal from their three matches back.

In attack, they will look to Streli Mamba to help them cause and upset and he is priced at 10/3 to score anytime.

Borussia Dortmund are not expecting too many issues in this match-up and are priced at 3/10 to claim the victory. Dortmund’s hopes of catching Bayern are all but gone now after they could not overcome the Bundesliga champions. In other performances, they have looked fast, strong and creative and have the second-best goal tally in the league. They face the third worst defence.

In attack, they are missing star striker Erling Braut Haaland through a knee injury he picked up against Bayern. Jadon Sancho is likely to return to the starting side and is priced at 14/5 to open the scoring.

Last time out, the two teams played out a contender for match of the season as Dortmund came back from 3-0 down with two late goals to salvage a 3-3 draw. 40 booking points were brandished during the match. SkyBet are offering 13/8 for 50+ booking points.

SC Paderborn vs Borussia Dortmund will be televised live onBT Sport 1 HD with kick-off at 17:00 BST.

Prediction: SC Paderborn 0-3 Borussia Dortmund

– The away side should have no problems in this one as they bounce back from defeat against Bayern.

Bundesliga – Allianz Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick-off: 17:30 BST

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich return to the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening as they host Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Following Tuesday night’s Der Klassiker victory over closest rivals Borussia Dortmund, Bayern now have a healthy seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga, and look set to make it eight consecutive league titles. A win for Hans Dieter-Flick’s side on Saturday would open up a ten-point gap over Dortmund, who don’t play until Sunday afternoon.

The visitors Fortuna Dusseldorf sit precariously above the relegation zone and occupy the play-off place in 16th. Uwe Rossler’s side are currently on a six-match unbeaten run which stretches back to the middle of February. Since the league’s resumption, Dusseldorf have drawn two and won one.

Bayern Munich have won their last seven consecutive Bundesliga encounters and are unbeaten in their last fourteen.

Dusseldorf have the second highest number of draws this season with nine and six of these draws have come in their last nine encounters. For those optimists, a draw is priced at 8/1 on SkyBet.

This fixture has been one of the more exciting affairs in the Bundesliga in recent years. Twenty goals have been scored in just the last five meetings between these two sides, with Bayern winning four out of five. Over 3.5 goals is priced at 11/8 on SkyBet. Bayern ran out 4-0 winners in the reverse fixture back in November.

Schalke vs Werder Bremen
Saturday 30th May
 2020
Bundesliga, VELTINS-Arena 

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 14:30 BST

Slow re-starters Schalke will play host to relegation-threatened Werder Bremen on Saturday afternoon in Bundesliga action.

The hosts have lost all three matches since the Bundesliga returned due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their slow start means they are now without a win from their previous 10 Bundesliga matches. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen have shown some signs of hope as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone. They managed a draw and a win from their last two matches.

Schalke are priced at 7/5 to win the match by SkyBet and turn their horrid form around since the restart. The club’s hopes of Europa League football next season are slipping away after their poor start since the return. They are currently five points adrift from Wolfsburg and will hope they can finally find their groove this Saturday against a struggling team. Schalke often see plenty of possession, it’s their creativity in the final third that has been lacking.

In attack, youngster Rabbi Matondo has looked busy with his work-rate and lightning pace. He is priced at 7/2 to score anytime.

Werder Bremen are priced at 19/10 to win the match by SkyBet and claim a huge three points in their bid for survival. The struggling side will take some confidence from their recent performances, keeping back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since October 2018. They also have a very impressive away record this season with 16 points from 14 matches, and away sides seem to be playing much better in the behind closed doors format.

In attack, Bremen’s top goalscorer Milo Rashica is priced at 11/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, Schalke battled out a 2-1 victory away from home in a tight and tense match. 50 booking points were brandished and SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points to be shown again.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 14:30 BST.

Prediction: Schalke 1-1 Werder Bremen

– Schalke will be determined to not suffer a fourth loss in a row and Bremen continue to struggle to flourish in attack.

SC Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
Friday 29th May 2020
Bundesliga – Schwarzwald-Stadion

Live on BT Sport 1HD – Kick-off: 19:30 BST

The latest instalment of Bundesliga action kicks off on Friday night when SC Freiburg host Bayer Leverkusen.

Both sides will be looking to return to winning ways after their midweek results. Freiburg were held 3-3 away to Eintracht Frankfurt meanwhile Bayer Leverkusen were thumped 4-1 at home against Wolfsburg.

A win for Freiburg on Friday evening would see them momentarily close the gap on 6th placed Wolfsburg to only one point in their battle to secure European football for next season. Christian Streich’s side are yet to win since the resumption of the Bundesliga, so a win would be just as useful for momentum as well as ranking. Freiburg have won one of their last eight in the Bundesliga

Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand missed the chance to go third in midweek. RB Leipzig’s stalemate with Hertha Berlin means there’s now only two points separating the two sides, and a win for Leverkusen on Friday night would see them leapfrog Leipzig and claim 3rd spot.

Five of Freiburg’s eight defeats this season have come at home, which is something that doesn’t bode well ahead of Leverkusen’s visit. Leverkusen have one of the best away records in the division and have lost only three of their fourteen games on the road this season. Leverkusen are priced at 3/4 on SkyBet to grab all three points on Friday evening.

Three of the last four meetings between these two sides have ended in a draw. The last win in this fixture came last season, with Bayer Leverkusen winning 2-0. A draw is priced at 14/5 on SkyBet.

Kai Havertz has scored five goals in his last four Bundesliga appearances, including braces against Werder Bremen and Borussia Monchengladbach in his first two games since the leagues return. The German is priced at 23/20 on SkyBet to score anytime.

Freiburg’s Roland Sallai has been yellow carded in two of his last four appearances and is priced at 13/5 to be booked on Friday night.

The match will be televised live on BT Sport 1HD and kicks off at 19:30 BST.

RB Leipzig vs Hertha Berlin
Wednesday 27th May
 2020
Bundesliga, Red Bull Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:30 GMT

Bundesliga high-flyers RB Leipzig host Hertha Berlin in the league this Wednesday night in the early kick-off.

Julian Naglesmann’s men dispatched of Mainz with authority over the weekend with a resounding 5-0 victory away from home to make up for their opening weekend blunder after the Bundesliga’s restart. Meanwhile, Hertha Berlin have also made a fast start in their return with a 3-0 win and more importantly, a 4-0 win over rivals Union Berlin.

RB Leipzig are favourites for this German clash and are priced at 1/3 to win the match by SkyBet. The hosts looked in fine form over the weekend when they dispatched of Mainz in a 5-0 win. Their work-rate was second to none, their attacking was potent and creative, and Hertha will be worried after their performance.

In attack, look no further than Liverpool target Timo Werner to score for Leipzig. The striker has 24 goals this season and scored a hat-rick on Sunday. He is priced at 12/5 to score first.

Hertha Berlin will have a tough test in keeping their 100% record since the league’s restart and are priced at 13/2 to pull off a shock victory. Hertha have been impressive so far but face a much harder opponent in RB Leipzig. Luckily, their defensive frailties have not been tested as of yet but whilst they do prosper in attack, it is likely that most of the football will be played down the other end of the pitch.

Striker Vedad Ibesevic has scored in both matches so far since the return and is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, the match was not short of drama as Leipzig were victorious in a 4-2 showdown. 30 booking points were brandished but both clubs have showcased their grit in recent weeks, which could see more booking points awarded. SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: RB Leipzig 2-0 Hertha Berlin

– The hosts have way too much quality in attacking areas and will punish their opponents in midfield and up front.

Tuesday 26th May 2020
Bundesliga – Weser Stadium

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 19:30 BST

Werder Bremen host Borussia Monchengladbach in the German Bundesliga on Tuesday evening.

The top of the table clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund may take centre-stage on Tuesday evening, but as far as these two sides are concerned there’s still plenty to play for this season, at different ends of the table.

Werder Bremen picked up a much-needed win against Freiburg on Saturday. Leonardo Bittencourt’s first-half winner secured Bremen’s first win since January and only their fifth in total this season.

Borussia Monchengladbach meanwhile suffered a dent to their hopes of securing Champions League football with a 3-1 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Saturday’s defeat was Monchengladbach’s second in their last nine games, and their third home defeat of the season.

Marco Rose’s side were 3-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in November. Monchengladbach boast a tremendous record in this fixture and are unbeaten in over five years against Werder Bremen, winning six of the last eight. BTTS is certainly a market worth exploring for this one. Eight of the last ten meetings, including the last five encounters has seen both teams score. SkyBet are offering odds for BTTS at 1/2, and BTTS with a Monchengladbach win at 21/10.

Marcus Thuram has scored in his last two games for Monchengladbach, and the Frenchman is priced at 13/8 to score anytime on Tuesday night.

Marco Freidl may be worth considering in the booking market for Tuesday night’s game. The Austrian has been booked in his last two consecutive Bundesliga appearances. Meanwhile Monchengladbach have racked up nine yellow cards in their last four Bundesliga matches, so team booking points may also be a market worth exploring.

Monchengladbach have won three of their last four games on the road and seem good value at 5/6 to pick up all three points on Tuesday evening.

Werder Bremen vs Borussia Monchengladbach will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1 with kick-off 19:30 BST.

Der Klassiker is upon us as Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this Tuesday night.

The result of this will have a huge effort on the title race in the league as the two best teams battle it out at the Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund have hit the ground running since the league’s return from coronavirus with two wins and no goals conceded and Bayern have also been on fire since their return to the football pitch.

Borussia Dortmund are priced at 13/5 to win the match by SkyBet and close the gap on their opponents and league leaders. Dortmund have been high flying since their return to action with a 2-0 and 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg and Schalke. This match is of the upmost importance to them, with anything but a win causing a huge blow to their title hopes.

In attack, Erling Braut Haaland has been in inspired form with 10 goals this season despite joining in January. He is priced at 23/20 to score anytime.

Bayern Munich are priced at 4/5 to win the match and put one hand on the Bundesliga trophy against their fiercest rival. Bayern face their toughest remaining test in the league this season with Dortmund their main threat in the title race. They have been their usual well-oiled machine with easy wins over Union Berlin and Frankfurt.

Robert Lewandowski is like a fine wine, getting better with age with his 27 league goals this season. He is priced at 13/5 to score first.

Last time these two met, Munich were rampant in a 4-0 victory and 30 booking points were brandished at the Allianz Arena. With so much on the line, a blockbuster is expected and SkyBet are offering 6/4 for 50+ booking points in the match.

Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Saturday 23rd May 2020
Bundesliga – Allianz Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 17:30 BST

Bayern Munich return to the Allianz arena for the first time in over two months as they host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.

The Bundesliga leaders made it a winning return to action last weekend with a comfortable 2-0 win over Union Berlin. Last weekends win made it eleven wins from Bayern’s last twelve as their surge for an eighth consecutive Bundesliga title continues.

Frankfurt meanwhile suffered a miserable return to Bundesliga life and were beaten 3-1 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. Last weekends loss made it four consecutive defeats in the league. Frankfurt’s last win came back in February.

If recent form in this fixture it anything to go by then it seems Frankfurt’s wait for a Bundesliga win will go beyond this weekend. They have lost each of their last ten trips to the Allianz Arena, and to make matters worse they have the worst away record in the Bundesliga this campaign. But, there may be some hope, however little. Frankfurt were the team who ended Nico Kovac’s wretched reign in the Bayern hot-seat following a 5-1 thumping back in November.

Robert Lewandowski made it twenty-six goals this season with a first-half penalty against Union Berlin last weekend, and the Polish striker sits top of the Bundesliga goalscoring chart with a five-goal advantage over RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner. Lewandowski scored what proved to be a consolation for Bayern in the earlier meeting this season and is priced at 9/5 to score first on Saturday evening.

Stefan Ilsanker was carded in Frankfurt’s defeat to Monchengladbach last weekend, and the Austrian has been yellow carded in two of his five Bundesliga appearances this season. SkyBet are offering odds of 12/5 for Ilsanker to be carded in this one.

Bayern’s Jerome Boateng saw red after only nine minutes in the reverse fixture, and the German has been carded in five of his seventeen matches this season. Boateng to be carded in this one is priced at 12/5 on SkyBet.

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 14:30 BST

RB Leipzig return to Bundesliga action on Sunday afternoon when they travel to face Mainz.

It wasn’t the expected return for Leipzig in the Bundesliga as they were held at home to Freiburg last weekend. It could have been worse for them had Robin Koch’s late strike for Freiburg stood without the intervention of VAR.

Mainz on the other hand battled to clinch a point away to FC Koln after twice being behind; a point which could be crucial in their battle to avoid the drop this season. Achim Beierlorzer’s side find themselves 15th on 27 points, just four points above the relegation play-off position.

Timo Werner, Leipzig’s top scorer this season has failed to score in each of his last three Bundesliga appearances. The German forward does however boast a tremendous record against this weekend’s opponents, scoring six goals in his last three matches against Mainz.

Leipzig have reigned supreme in this fixture since it was first played back in 2016. They have won four of the seven meetings, including the 8-0 hammering they inflicted on Mainz in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Mainz’s only win in this fixture came back in 2018 were they were 3-0 winners.

BTTS may be a market worth exploring for this one. It has landed in two of Leipzig’s last three encounters, and in both of Mainz’s two most recent fixtures. Leipzig to win and BTTS is priced at 6/4 on SkyBet.

Danny Latza has been booked twice in his last six matches for Mainz and is priced at 12/5 on SkyBet to be carded this weekend.
