Bayer Leverkusen have a 13-match unbeaten run in the league to protect when they play as visitors against Borussia Dortmund, who are unbeaten in their last five league matches.

Bayern Munich have a tricky away game against Borussia Monchengladbach, as RB Leipzig welcome Werder Bremen in Leipzig.
This week’s Bundesliga gameweek 16 predictions were made based on data, current form, and expert knowledge.
Bundesliga 2024/25 gameweek 16 predictions: 10/01/25 - 12/01/25
Dortmund and Bayer to exchange goals: Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen
- Date: 10/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:30
- Both teams have good attacking options, which suggests this encounter will not be short of clear-cut chances.
Bayer Leverkusen may be unbeaten in their last 13 league matches, but they struggled to keep their defense line in order in most of these games. They conceded three goals against Wolfsburg, and what are the chances they don’t concede against a Dortmund side that has scored 28 goals in 15 matches?
Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction 10/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes
Eintracht Frankfurt to bounce back to winning ways: St. Pauli vs Eintracht Frankfurt
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Both teams may be struggling currently, but the visitors are in better shape to snatch all three points.
St. Pauli have endured a rollercoaster of results in recent weeks, having lost three and won two of their last league matches. They are only four points off the relegation zone, which exposes how inconsistent they have been this season. The visitors may not be winless in their last three matches, but the likes of St. Pauli do not have the quality to extend the visitors’ winless run.
St. Pauli vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 11/01/2025: Away team to win
Freiburg to win in at least one half: Freiburg vs Holstein Kiel
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Freiburg may be inconsistent, but we expect them to outscore Holstein Kiel in either half.
Holstein Kiel remain one of the worst-performing teams in the Bundesliga this term, having won just twice in their last 15 matches. The hosts are also inconsistent, but their current form is good enough to anticipate a win in at least one half.
Freiburg vs Holstein Kiel prediction 11/01/2025: Home team to win either half - yes
Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg to delight fans with goals: Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Matches involving either team commonly produce at least three goals, and we expect the upcoming fixture to follow suit.
Wolfsburg’s last five matches ended with at least three goals, including their 3-1 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund last month. The visitors averaged 4.00 goals per game after 15 league matches, and this alone is enough for the spectators to anticipate at least three goals from this encounter.
Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg prediction 11/01/2025: Over 2.5 goals
Mainz to maintain their winning momentum: Mainz vs Bochum
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Bochum are in dire form and currently sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings. They are too inconsistent to pull off any surprises in Mainz.
Mainz made a huge statement in December when they beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at home. They are in superb form, having won four of their last five league matches (to say a few). They commonly play at their best level at home, and with Bochum’s horrendous form (11 defeats in 15 matches), there’s a huge chance the hosts will take all available options.
Mainz vs Bochum prediction 11/01/2025: Home team to win
Struggling Union Berlin to avoid defeat: Heidenheim vs Union Berlin
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Both teams are in poor form, but the visitors are in better shape to steal all available points.
Union Berlin may be in poor form, but they are not as bad as their upcoming opponents, Heidenheim, who lost 11 of their last 15 league matches.Both teams struggle to score goals, which profoundly explains their positions in the standings, but the hosts’ defense line gives their fans enough reason to anticipate a win from this encounter.
Union Berlin vs Heidenheim prediction 11/01/2025: Home team to win
Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich to display their attacking prowess: Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Matches involving either team don’t lack goals, and we expect the upcoming encounter to continue the trend.
Borussia Monchengladbach averaged 3.0 goals per game after 15 league games, while Bayern Munich averaged 4.0 goals per game after 15 matches. Both teams do not lack ideas in the final third and commonly excite fans with goals scored. Monchengladbach are fond of upsetting Bayer Munich in front of their home supporters, and they will dare to repeat the same when they meet on Saturday, but it will be a difficult task to achieve because Bayern are in fine form, with only one defeat in 15 league matches. However, because Bayern struggle to cope with Monchengladbach’s pace on their turf, it would be wise to bet on goals.
Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich prediction 11/01/2025: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams exchanged goals: RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- RB Leipzig may be the favorites to win this game, but the visitors are in better form and do not lack ideas in the final third, which suggest they may get on the scoresheet.
Werder Bremen won three of their last five league matches and is unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga games. They scored 26 goals and conceded 25 goals in 15 league matches, while RB Leipzig, who are inconsistent with two wins in their last five league games, scored 24 goals and conceded 20 in 15 league matches. It is relatively understandable if a bettor decides to bet on goals from both ends.
RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen prediction 12/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes
Stuttgart to win in at least one half: Augsburg vs Stuttgart
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 17:30
- Augsburg have struggled defensively, and we expect that to continue this weekend against a good goalscoring side, Stuttgart.
Augsburg conceded 32 goals in 15 matches; that’s over 2.0 goals conceded on average compared to their 1.13 goals scored on average. It is increasingly likely that Stuttgart will win in at least one half because they average nearly 2.0 goals scored per game, having scored 29 goals in 15 games.
Augsburg vs Stuttgart prediction 12/01/2025: Away team to win either half - yes
