Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Wolfsburg 2

Moneyline (ML)

Bayern Munich (-150) is a heavy favorite on the road, but it has the title wrapped up yet again. As a result, team manager Hansi Flick might elect to rest a few key members of his personnel ahead of the Cup Final. That makes Wolfsburg (+340) an intriguing play at home, and perhaps worth a small-unit play. A DRAW (+340) is the same odds as a Wolfsburg win, and a better wager.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (-134) is worth a look. Wolfsburg may see a few more offensive opportunities with Flick using more reserves than usual in the match. Wolfsburg has conceded at least two goals in three consecutive home matches. In addition, Bayern Munich has scored at least two goals in 16 of the past 19 Bundesliga matches, so count on Bayern Munich putting it into the back of the net at least twice.

Prediction

RB Leipzig 3, Dortmund 2

Moneyline (ML)

RB LEIPZIG (+125) is worth a roll of the dice in this battle between second- and third-place clubs. A win over Dortmund (+195) would be a nice consolation prize after losing out to Bayern Munich for the overall league title, the eighth straight for Munich. Leipzig is still headed for Champions League play, and will be a force to be reckoned with there.

If you want to take a bit of a chance, RB LEIPZIG TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+240) is an intriguing value play.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+125) is a value play here. Dortmund has registered 82 goals across 32 games, while Leipzig has buried 79 goals. These are two of the highest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga. Leipzig has found the back of the net in five of its past six Bundesliga matches. In the most recent meeting – Dec. 17, 2019 – these two battled to a 3-3 draw, and they have scored five or more goals in three of the past five head-to-head meetings.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2 Freiburg 1

Moneyline (ML)

Bayern Munich (-358) is the overwhelming favorites on its home pitch, although it is likely to rest several of the club’s top dogs with an eighth consecutive Bundesliga title wrapped up and in the bag. While Freiburg (+850) still has something to play for with a Europe League spot on the line, it’s not a good bet. Bayern Munich is still expected to play F Robert Lewandowski, as he chases the all-time Bundesliga scoring record.

A better play might be to take BAYERN TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+110). In fact, that’s a pretty strong value considering the champs won’t likely be playing at full strength, so Freiburg should be able to at least get on the board at some point.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 3.5 (+100) is a good idea here, as Bayern Munich is likely to power it back a notch with the title wrapped up. Freiburg still has plenty at stake, but it has managed just 43 goals through 32 matches this season.

Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen 3, Werder Bremen 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEVERKUSEN (-139) is a solid play on the road on the match result line. In addition, LEVERKUSEN TO WIN TO NIL (+220) is a nice bet, as a clean sheet could be a really good bet. Bremen has failed to score in each of its past five home matches, and they have dropped six in a row at home overall. Bremen is staring relegation in the face, but Monday is not the day the trajectory turns around.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Leverkusen (-139) to win returns a profit of $7.219, while taking Leverkusen to win to nil (+220) fetches a profit of $22.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-154) is a solid play, as Bremen has managed a Bundesliga-worst minus-28 goal differential across just 24 matches. Leverkusen will score early and often, even if it shows a little rust early in the match after the lengthy layoff. If Bremen could help out with a goal, great, but that’s a long shot, as it has managed a league-low 27 goals (tied with Dusseldorf). Even if Bremen can’t score, Leverkusen should find the back of the net enough to inch the over across the finish line.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Union Berlin 0

Moneyline (ML)

Bayern Munich (-500) is way too expensive to bet on the match result (straight up) line, so look to get creative. BAYERN TO WIN TO NIL (-106) is a much better bet assuming they’re able to keep the clean sheet.

In addition, Bayern Munich F Robert Lewandowski is back after a shinbone injury. He has posted 39 goals in 33 appearances for Bayern Munich across all levels during the 2019-20 campaign. He has special props, and taking LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE WITH A HEADER (+250) is a nice play, while LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE ANYTIME (-250) is a much more expensive proposition, but still worth a play.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Bayern to win to nil (-106) returns a profit of $9.50, while Lewandowski to score with a header (+250) fetches a profit of $25 on a $10 bet.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-228) is rather expensive, but a good play considering how explosive Bayern Munich can be offensively, and they’ll likely do most of the heavy lifting in this one. Berlin is rather leaky defensively, too, so that helps the Over chances. If you’re really feeling Munich will fire out of the box in this return to action, Over 3.5 (+105) is plus-money, but it likely requires Berlin scoring at some point.

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, FC Schalke 04 1

Moneyline (ML)

Dortmund (-200) is a heavy favorite at home, but it might be a little sluggish as the Bundesliga fires back up after a two-month pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Dortmund sits second in the Bundesliga table, but Schalke 04 (+525) is its biggest rival. The Ruhr Derby will be missing fans, but that might actually work in Schalke’s favor. In addition, the home side is still banged up and has several key members unfit to feature. If you want to pick a side, Schalke is an amazing value and worth a small-unit bet. But the best bet is to go with a DRAW (+350), as both sides could be very slow to start.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on a draw will profit $35 if the game ends in a tie. A $10 bet on Dortmund win would profit just $5 if it wins, while a winning $10 bet on Schalke profits $52.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+125) is a good value here as well. If you want some added insurance, Under 3.5 (-209) is an even safer play, but it will cost you. Other bets which look good, taking YES (-134) for both teams to score. It might be a slow start, but each side should be able to find the back of the net in this Bundesliga return to action. It isn’t out of the question that both teams could really be sluggish, and neither score. It happens in “normal” times quite frequently, but both teams not to score (+900) isn’t a bad bet after a lengthy layoff. It’s more possible than usual.
