[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Bayer Leverkusen (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) welcomes Eintracht Frankfurt (3-2-1) to BayArena Saturday for a clash of 2 of the top 5 Bundesliga sides. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayer is coming into this game having drawn Holstein Kiel 2-2 Oct. 5, its last Bundesliga match. It has drawn 2 straight games and is just 1-1-1 at home. Bayer has tallied 11 goals in its last 4 matches yet has had more than 2.1 expected goals in just 1 of those 4. It has allowed 1 or fewer goals in 2 of its last 4 games. Leverkusen is led by a tag-team duo of F Victor Boniface and M Florian Wirtz, who have each netted 4 goals this season.

Eintracht sits 3rd in the Bundesliga after 6 league games. It has tallied 14 goals through those matches and allowed 9, possessing the 3rd-best goal differential. Eintracht has tallied at least 2 goals in 5 straight games and is 4-1-0 in those. It has notched at least 1.2 expected goals in every game this season and given at least 1.0.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+400).

Bayer hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents at home, so while it is a long shot, it is a worthy play to take a draw. Bayer sits 5th in the league, while Eintracht sits 3rd, and Leverkusen drew its last home game and has drawn its last 2.

Eintracht has one of the most dynamic offenses in the league and has scored at least 3 goals in its last 4 games throughout all competitions, having drawn 2 of those. Considering the recent draws for both sides, expect a close match.

For a small unit, take DRAW (+400).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-115).

Since Sept. 26, Eintracht has played in 4 games, 2 of which were Europa League competitions. In all of those games, it has gone north of 3.5 goals, and it has gone north of 5.5 in 3 of them. Eintracht has had over 2.0 expected goals in 5 of its 8 games throughout all competitions.

Bayer has gone north of this total in 3 of its last 4 league games, having tallied 4 goals in 2 of those battles. Leverkusen has not defended well, either, having given up 2.0 goals per game through 6 league matches.

Considering those trends for both sides, back OVER 3.5 (-115).

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Eintracht Frankfurt (4 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcome Bayern Munich (4-1-0) to Deutsche Bank Park for a clash of the top-2 Bundesliga sides Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich sits atop the Bundesliga and is one of 2 teams without a loss on their record. Bayern has scored 17 goals in 5 matches and has allowed just 4. They are coming off a 1-0 Champions League loss to Aston Villa Wednesday. In their last league game on Sept. 28, they drew Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 at home. Bayern is led by F Harry Kane, who has 5 goals on the season.

Frankfurt has yet to lose at home, going 2-0-0 and outscoring opponents a combined 5-1. Frankfurt is coming off a 4-2 win over Holstein last Sunday, ending with 1.0 more expected goals. They have tallied at least 2 goals in 4 straight games. The home side will be led by F Omar Marmoush, who has  6 goals and 3 assists, both the most on the team, through 5 matches.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s not great value on the moneyline either way.

The most playable option here is the Draw at +375, but considering how well Bayern has played for most of the season and just how dominant they have been defensively, those odds don’t pose great value.

While Frankfurt is playing well, they aren’t worth a play here to beat the top team in the league. Avoid this play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-120).

The Bayern Munich defense has just been too good to bet against. Bayern has allowed just 4 goals on the season, and they have given up just 2 goals in their last 4 games. In their last 3 league matches, Bayern’s opponents have just 0.4 expected goals, an extremely low amount. Bayern has scored 2 or fewer in 2 of their last 4 as well.

Frankfurt has can score at a high level, but they can play defense as well, allowing just 4 goals in their last 4 league matches. This should be a competitive match, and Frankfurt is 2-3 O/U this size of a total this season. Considering those defensive trends, take UNDER 3.5 (-120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Bayern Munich (4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Bayer Leverkusen (3-0-1) to Allianz Arena Saturday for a high-profile Bundesliga clash. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich has won all 4 games this season, 3 of which have come on the road. Munich has tallied 16 goals, while yielding just 3.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET BAYERN MUNICH (-155).

Bayern has been the more impressive side this season and is playable at these odds. Leverkusen’s defense has been too inconsistent to expect it to slow down a lethal Bayern attack led by one of the world’s best scorers. Leverkusen has allowed 3 goals in its 2 road matches and has allowed 7 goals in its last 3 Bundesliga games.

Bayern has been much better and have outscored opponents 13-1 in its last 3 games. It has had 5.9 more expected goals in its last 2 games. While Leverkusen will be a more stout opponent, expect Munich to reward the home crowd.

TAKE BAYERN MUNICH (-155).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-110).

Simply put, both teams like to score frequently, and Leverkusen has one of the worst defenses among Bundesliga teams in the top half of the league. Leverkusen has allowed 2.25 goals per game and have given up at least 3 in 2 of its last 3 league matches.

Bayern has gone Over this total in 3 of 4 matches, scoring 5 or more in 2 of those 4. It has allowed at least 1.0 expected goals in 2 of 4 as well. The total in this location last season was 4, a 2-2 draw. Expect Bayern to come out on top and a similar offensive style of play. OVER 3.5 (-110) is the way to go.

VfB Stuttgart vs. TSG Hoffenheim odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s VfB Stuttgart vs. TSG Hoffenheim odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

VfB Stuttgart (7 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcomes TSG Hoffenheim (5-0-3) to MHPArena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the VfB Stuttgart vs. TSG Hoffenheim odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Stuttgart is a perfect 4-0-0 at home this season. It is averaging 3.13 goals per game and allowing just 1. Stuttgart has won every game except its one loss by multiple goals. It has outscored opponents 16-2 at home. F Serhou Guirassy is the main weapon for the home side. He has tallied 14 goals in 8 matches.

Hoffenheim is actually a perfect 4-0-0 on the road this season and is just 1-0-3 at home. It has outscored opponents 11-5 on the road. It has scored 17 goals and allowed 14 which is respectively 2.13 and 1.75 per game. F Maximilian Beier is the top scorer, having tallied 6 goals in 8 matches.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

VfB Stuttgart vs. TSG Hoffenheim picks and predictions

Prediction

Stuttgart 3, Hoffenheim 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET STUTTGART (-120).

Simply put, Stuttgart has been unstoppable at home, and it has been dominant in general this season. It does have a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg, which sits 9th. Neither team has a ton of quality wins as Stuttgart lost 3-1 to Leipzig and Hoffenheim lost 3-1 to Eint Frankfurt this season, both of which are top-7 teams in the league.

The edge should go to the home side as Hoffenheim’s success on the road should cool off, and at this value, the home side with more quality wins is worth taking. Back STUTTGART (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 3.5 (+120).

Stuttgart has a dominant attack, having tallied 3 or more goals in 6 of 8 league games, scoring 5 twice at home this season. It has had at least 2.3 expected goals in 4 of 8 games as well. It has just been terrific at home.

Hoffenheim also has a strong offense and has scored in every game, even against tough defenses like Dortmund. It has had at least an expected goal in each game as well.

Expect these dominant offenses to continue to stay hot Saturday. Take OVER 3.5 (+120).

Analyzing Friday’s Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Bayern Munich (3 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Bayer Leverkusen (3-0-0) to Allianz Arena Friday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Both sides sit atop the Bundesliga table and are the only teams that have yet to lose or draw a match in the German top league. Bayer technically has the lead now with 11 goals for and 3 against, a goal differential of 8. Bayern has a goal differential of 7, having tallied 9 for and 2 against.

Munich has won 4-0, 3-1 and 2-1 in respective order, ending with 2.4 expected goals or more in each match and having yet to allow 1 expected goal in a game. Offensively, F Harry Kane and F Leroy Sane both have 3 goals.

Leverkusen’s attack is led by F Victor Boniface, who has scored 4 goals and 2 assists. Bayer’s most notable performance so far this season is a 3-2 home win over RB Leipzig to commence the season. It has won 3-0 and 5-1 as well.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN BAYERN MUNICH (-175).

While Leverkusen is a better side than it gets credit for, Munich dominated at home against it last season, winning 4-0 and ending with about 2.5 times more expected goals. Munich got their big-name goal scorer to replace F Robert Lewandowski, and Kane has been a star so far for Bayern.

At (-175), the price is a bit steep which is why this is a lean and not a full-unit suggestion. Bayern was 11-5-1 last season and presents good value on the moneyline, which isn’t often true for a team this dominant.

Bayern has also crushed its opponents while Bayer’s 3-2 win over Leipzig ended with the home side (Bayer) having fewer expected goals. Bayern is the better side and should come out on top. Back BAYERN MUNICH (-175).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Both teams have scored double-digit goals through 3 matches. The offensive prowess is clearly there, but the defensive strength is as well. Bayer has given up 3 goals while Bayern has allowed just 2. This should be a competitive match, and I expect fewer opportunities than usual.

In 5 of the 6 games played by the teams combined, they have held their opponent to under 1 expected goal. With competent defenses, goals should be scarce. Take UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Borussia Dortmund (22 wins, 7 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Mainz (12-12-9) to Signal Iduna Park Saturday. Kickoff for the regular-season finale is set for 9:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Dortmund (70 points) — which sits atop the Bundesliga table, leading Bayern Munich by 2 points — is coming off a 3-0 road victory vs. Augsburg last weekend. The Black and Yellows are 5-0-2 in their last 7 games and haven’t lost a league game since April 1. They are led by F Julian Brandt, who has 9 goals and 8 assists in 31 matches. F Donyell Malen and F Sebastien Haller also have 9 goals apiece, tied with Brandt for the team lead. With a win, Dortmund, which is 14-1-1 at home this season, will claim the Bundesliga title.

Mainz sits 9th on the table and is just 6-7-3 on the road. It is coming off a 4-1 loss to Stuttgart Sunday and has lost 4 straight games. It has been outscored 13-3 during the skid. F Marcus Ingvartsen leads the club with 10 goals in 27 matches.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 3, Mainz 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Borussia Dortmund is at home where it has virtually been unbeatable.

On top of that, Dortmund is playing for the Bundesliga title. There will be no holding back from the No. 1 team in the league, but the -550 ML price is way too costly. There is no value to risk 5.5 times for a potential return on the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE 3.5 (+140).

Mainz has gone Under this total in 7 of its last 11 games. Its defense, which has allowed 1.61 goals per game this season, held its opponent to 0 or 1 goal in 6 of those. The offense, which averages 1.58 goals per game, has only scored multiple times in 4 of them. Overall, Mainz hasn’t played that many high-scoring battles lately.

Dortmund, on the other hand, has gone Under in 2 of its last 4 and has held its opponent scoreless in 3 of its last 5 games. It has allowed just 3 goals in its last 5 matches. Dortmund has scored more than 3 goals in 4 of its last 12. It does have a dynamic offense, but one should expect a good defensive effort with the title on the line.

Ultimately, TAKE UNDER 3.5 (+140).

FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

FC Koln (10 wins, 11 losses 12 draws) welcomes Bayern Munich (20-5-8) to RheinEnergieStadion Saturday. Kickoff for the regular-season finale is set for 9:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich had the Bundesliga in its control until a 3-1 loss to RB Leipzig last weekend. With every team having played 33 games, Bayern (68 points) sits 2 points behind Borussia Dortmund for the top spot in the league. Bayern averages 2.73 goals per game and is led by F Serge Gnabry, who has 14 goals in 33 matches. Defensively, the Bavarians (Die Bayern) allow 1.12 goals per game.

FC Koln is 6-5-5 at home. The Billy Goats (Die Geißböcke) average 1.45 goals per game and allow 1.58. They are coming off a 1-1 draw at Werder Bremen May 20. FC Koln is led offensively by MF Ellyes Skhiri, who has scored 7 goals in 31 matches. Koln has won 4 of its last 7 matches and 2 of its last 3.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, FC Koln 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Bayern Munich has to win to have any chance at the Bundesliga title. While the hope is still slim for it to get the top spot, this will be a must-win game for the road side. It is also a significantly better team and had 0.6 more expected goals against Koln in the team’s first battle, a 1-1 draw in January.

However, the -275 ML price it is far too expensive to play. Draw (+475) may have some value, but I’d ultimately look toward the total for the better play in this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+110).

Bayern has gone Under this total in 4 of its last 7 matches. It had just 1.4 expected goals at home against Koln in January. Bayern’s defense has also performed well as of late, allowing 0 or 1 goal in 5 of its last 7 battles.

Koln’s defense may not be very good, but it has allowed multiple goals in just 1 of its last 8 matches. The Billy Goats have scored multiple goals in just 4 of its last 13 games despite averaging 1.45 goals per game.

Considering the recent performance of both teams, TAKE UNDER 3.5 (+110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Bayern Munich (20 wins, 4 losses, 8 draws) welcomes RB Leipzig (18-8-6) to Allianz Arena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich sits atop the Bundesliga table with 68 points, 1 point ahead of Borussia Dortmund — both teams have 2 games remaining. Bayern, which is a strong 11-0-5 at home, has been playing well as of late, winning its last 3 home games by a combined 9-1 score. Bayern is led by F Serge Gnabry, who has 13 goals in 32 matches. Saturday is Bayern’s final home match this season.

RB Leipzig is just 6-6-4 on the road this season. The Red Bulls (Die Roten Bullen) are led by French F Christopher Nkunku, who has 13 goals in 23 matches. Leipzig has also played very well as of late, winning 7 of its last 8 matches throughout all competitions, including 5 of its last 6 league matches.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, RB Leipzig 0

Moneyline (ML)

AVOID.

As mentioned, the Bavarians (Die Bayern) have been unstoppable as home — they’re 6-0-1 in their last 7 home league matches. Bayern Munich can lock up the Bundesliga title by winning its last 2 games. With that on the line, there’s no reason we won’t see Bayern’s top team on the pitch for the final 2 matches.

When these 2 met in Leipzig in January, they finished to a 1-1 draw, proof that RB (60 points) is a quality side. With what’s at stake for Bayern and how good it has been at home, it should win, but the -225 moneyline simply isn’t worth the expensive price tag.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-120).

Bayern’s defense has been cause for concern during parts of the season, but it has played much better as of late.

Bayern has 3 clean sheets in its last 6 games and has allowed multiple goals just once in its last 6. The Bavarians have held opponent to under 1 expected goal in 4 of their last 5 matches. Bayern has scored more than 2 goals just once in its last 6 as well, so its typically dominant offense hasn’t been there.

Leipzig has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 league games, has 2 clean sheets in its last 3 and hasn’t scored more than 1 goal in 3 of its last 4.

All signs point toward the UNDER 3.5 (-120) here.
