Bundesliga predictions: Gameweek 23: 21/02-23/02

How will Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen react in the next round after last weekend’s result in Leverkusen? Both teams shared the spoils when the encounter ended in a goalless draw; now the hunt for the Bundesliga title resumes this weekend.

Will Borussia Dortmund get back to winning ways after the Bochum setback when they host impressive Union Berlin this weekend?

This week’s Bundesliga 2024/25 gameweek 23 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.

Bundesliga 2024/25 gameweek 23 predictions: 21/02/2025 - 23/02/2025

Freiburg to continue their winning streak: Freiburg vs Werder Bremen

• Date: 21/02/2025
• Kick-off: 20:30
• Freiburg have dominated these fixtures in recent years, and we expect them to remain dominant when they host Werder Bremen.

Freiburg only lost once in their last seven Bundesliga games against Werder Bremen, stretching back to 2020. Werder Bremen are not in good shape to push for a win away from home, and because the hosts won their last three league games coupled with their fine record against Werder, we can anticipate a win from the hosts.

Freiburg vs Werder Bremen prediction: Home team to win

Monchengladbach and Augsburg to exchange goals: Borussia Monchengladbach vs Augsburg

• Date: 22/02/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30
• Both teams somehow find it easy to exchange goals when they cross paths, and there’s a chance they can repeat the same in the upcoming game.

Both teams exchanged goals in their last three Bundesliga meetings. Monchengladbach have struggled to keep clean sheets this term but find it relatively easy to find the back of the net. Both teams are in decent form, and just like in the reverse fixture, fans may witness goals from both ends in the return leg.

Monchengladbach vs Augsburg prediction: Both teams to score - yes

Wolfsburg and Bochum to entertain fans with goals: Wolfsburg vs Bochum

• Date: 22/02/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30
• Goals are usually scored in matches involving these two teams, and we can expect the upcoming encounter to follow suit.

Wolfsburg and Bochum produced four goals in the reverse fixture that ended in a 3-1 win for the White and Greens. Four of their last five Bundesliga meetings ended with three or more goals, and it is only logical to anticipate at least three goals to be scored in the upcoming game.

Wolfsburg vs Bochum prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Mainz to continue their dominance: Mainz vs St. Pauli

• Date: 22/02/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30
• Both teams haven’t met many times in the Bundesliga, but the few times they crossed paths, Mainz did not disappoint.

Mainz and St. Pauli have met only three times in the Bundesliga, stretching back to 2010, and the former won all three matches. Because two of those meetings took place over one decade ago, it is wise to predict this encounter using their current form. The hosts are pushing for a top-six finish, while the visitors are battling against relegation. Their current form may look even, but we expect the hosts to extend their winning run to two games.

Mainz vs St. Pauli prediction: Home team to win

Holstein Kiel and Bayer Leverkusen to entertain fans with goals: Holstein Kiel vs Bayer Leverkusen

• Date: 22/02/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30
• Both teams have only met once in the Bundesliga, and the encounter ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw. There’s no reason not to expect the upcoming game to follow suit.

Matches involving either team usually produce three or more goals, and because the reverse fixture ended with four goals, there’s a huge possibility that the return leg will follow suit. Both teams averaged over 2.5 goals per game in the Bundesliga this term, so we can count on the upcoming game to end similarly.

Holstein Kiel vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Borussia Dortmund to bounce back to winning ways: Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin

• Date: 22/02/2025
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Dortmund may have endured mixed reactions lately, but their record against Union Berlin suggests they may bounce back to winning ways this weekend.

Despite their inconsistent performance this season and undeserved losses, Borussia Dortmund's track record against Union Berlin indicates a potential return to winning this weekend. The Yellow and Blacks won seven of their last ten Bundesliga games against Union Berlin, and because they lost the reverse fixture away, there’s no reason not to expect a good shift from the hosts.

Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin prediction: Home team to win

RB Leipzig will bounce back to winning ways: RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim

• Date: 23/02/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30
• RB Leipzig and Heidenheim haven’t played much in the Bundesliga, but the few encounters ended in Leipzig’s favor.

RB Leipzig won their last three Bundesliga matches against Heidenheim, including the reverse fixture that ended in a 1-0 win away from home. When they met in the lower division in 2016, RB Leipzig also won 3-1 at home. So we can anticipate a comfortable win from the hosts in the upcoming game.

RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim prediction: Home team to win

Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt to exchange goals: Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt

• Date: 23/02/2025
• Kick-off: 17:30
• Both teams are fond of getting on the scoreboard when they cross paths, and there’s a big chance they will repeat the same in the upcoming game.

Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt found the back of the net in their last five Bundesliga meetings, including the reverse leg that finished 3-3 in Frankfurt. Because Bayern will participate in midweek, and Eintracht Frankfurt have been scoring goals for fun this term, it is increasingly likely that both teams will score again in the upcoming clash.

Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: Both teams to score - yes

Hoffenheim and Stuttgart to delight fans with goals: Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart

• Date: 23/02/2025
• Kick-off: 19:30
• Both teams find it relatively easy to find the back of the net when they meet, and there’s a big chance they will do the same in the upcoming game.

Hoffenheim and Stuttgart scored against themselves in six of their last seven Bundesliga meetings, including the reverse fixture. Stuttgart's struggles to maintain a clean sheet increase the likelihood of both teams scoring.

Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart prediction: Both teams to score - yes
