Prediction

FC Union Berlin 2, FC Schalke 04 0

Money line (ML)

FC UNION BERLIN (+150) is a solid value straight up in regular time against Schalke 04 (+195), a club off to the worst start in Bundesliga history. Plenty of sides have opened with three losses in three matches, but Union has a dismal minus-14 goal differential, scoring just once while conceding 15 goals. That’s awful, and there is very little reason to believe that it will turn things around against a decent Berlin side, regardless if it’s at home or not.

New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on FC Union Berlin returns $15, while a winning bet on FC Schalke 04 fetches a profit of $19.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-139) is a little risky given the fact Schalke has been terrible defensively. But Berlin is averaging just 2.0 goals per match, and it’s probably the least offensively gifted club Schalke has faced. Even the defensively-challenged Schalke side should be able to keep it within arm’s length.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Arminia Bielefeld 1

Money line (ML)

Bayern Munich (-527) has been a bit sluggish during the early days of the new season, so perhaps last week’s break will do it a favor. Bayern must go on the road to face Arminia (+1300), which had been running hot before falling to Werder Bremen last time out on Oct. 3 by a 1-0 score. Bayern has won five straight meetings in this series dating back to Sept. 16, 2006, and eight of the past nine across all competitions. Still, risking more than five times your potential return is not good gambling.

A better play is going with BIELEFELD (+3, or SPREAD 3:0 at -167). Arminia Bielefeld plays a good brand of defense, allowing just two goals in three matches with a zero-goal differential. Munich has 13 goals through three games, and a plus-6, but it will have some issue against Arminia.

New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Bayern Munich returns just $1.90, while a winning bet on Arminia Bielefeld (+1300) fetches a profit of $130.

Over/Under (O/U)

The alternate line of UNDER 4.5 (-228) is a little on the expensive side, but Under 3.5 (-106) is just too risky with Munich’s ability to score. You could play 3.5 lightly, but if you want to be assured of a win, UNDER 4.5 (-228) is the way to go.

Union Berlin vs. Mainz: Bundesliga odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 12:04 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Union Berlin 2, Mainz 0

Money line (ML)

UNION BERLIN (+120) is the play, as it will grab its first victory of the season in Match Week 3. Berlin has found the back of the net twice in its first two matches while conceding four goals. However, Mainz (+210) has coughed up seven goals in the first two matches and enters with a dismal minus-5 goal differential. Mainz is the elixir to cure Berlin’s ills and get UB going in the early stages of the season.

New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Union Berlin returns a profit of $12, while a $10 wager on Mainz 05 fetches a return of $21 if it prevails.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-106) is worth a small-unit play, although it’s a bit risky with how Mainz has been yielding goals. However, it’s unlikely to find the back of the net, and Union has just two goals on the season. In fact, playing the prop NO (+110): WILL BOTH TEAMS SCORE? is a nice play.
