Bundesliga predictions: Round 28: 04/04-06/04
Bayern Munich successfully bounced back to winning ways over the weekend following a tight 3-2 win over St. Pauli at home. They restored their six-point gap at the top of the Bundesliga standings following Bayer Leverkusen’s victory on Friday. Now, they have to avoid any setback, as Bayer are lurking around waiting for a slip.
Xabi Alonso’s side will take on Hoffenheim away from home on Saturday, as Borussia Dortmund will look to build on their current form and push their way back into the top four.
Bundesliga gameweek 28 predictions: 04/04/2025 - 06/04/2025
Bayern to delight fans with goals: Augsburg vs Bayern Munich
- Date: 04/04/2025
- Kick-off: 19:30 CET
- Bayern Munich enjoy coming up against Augsburg, and their quest for the season means they are likely to continue their dominance this weekend.
Bayern and Augsburg have frequently faced each other in the Bundesliga, but their recent encounters have sparked some curiosity. The Bavarians won their last four matches against Augsburg, and at least three goals were scored in each. Augsburg may be in decent form, but we expect the visitors to win and total goals to exceed three.
Augsburg vs Bayern Munich prediction: Away team to win and over 2.5 goals
Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their winning momentum: Heidenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 14:30 CET
- Bayer love coming up against Heidenheim, and both teams’ current forms suggest the visitors will have an easy ride.
Both teams have crossed paths on three occasions in the Bundesliga, and Xabi Alonso’s side won all three matches but failed to keep a clean sheet. Bayer are struggling to keep clean sheets in a row, so we can imagine the hosts getting a consolation goal late in the game. Also, with Florian Wirtz out injured, we do not expect Bayer to create as many chances as they do with the German.
Heidenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: Away team to win and both teams to score – yes
Freiburg to receive the marching orders: Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 14:30 CET
- Freiburg struggle against Borussia Dortmund, and they find it hard to discipline themselves when they take on the Yellow and Blue outfit.
Freiburg and Dortmund are no strangers to this competition, but we should focus on their most recent meetings to phantom a possible outcome for the encounter. Freiburg received the marching orders in three of their last five matches, and just last year, the hosts received two red cards against Dortmund. We expect the upcoming game to have some intense moments, as both teams are looking to finish in the top four at least, and the chances of the hosts getting sent off are decent.
Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction: Home red card - yes
Holstein Kiel’s goalie to be busy: Mainz vs Holstein Kiel
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 14:30 CET
- Holstein Kiel haven't enjoyed their promotion to the top flight this season, and their current form suggests they are likely to return to the lower division, with Mainz standing as a catalyst.
Both teams have met just once in the Bundesliga, and Kiel’s goalkeeper made four saves as Mainz won the tie 3-0. The hosts are in dangerous form and can easily punish Kiel with goals, but because the visitors are expected to do some work in goal, we expect Thomas Dehne to be called into action at least five times.
Mainz vs Holstein Kiel prediction: Away total saves - over 4.5
Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig to display their attacking mastery: RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 14:30 CET
- Both teams usually find the back of the net when they cross paths in this competition, and with Leipzig still finding their consistency, we expect them to concede a goal.
RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim will press for the three points, as the hosts are eyeing a top-four finish, while the visitors are plotting their exit from relegation threat. Both teams have shown in recent years that they can get on the scoreboard, as four of their previous five meetings ended with both clubs finding the back of the net. Expecting the upcoming game to end similarly isn’t delusional.
RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Bochum to win the most tackles: Bochum vs Stuttgart
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30 CET
- Bochum is fond of making tackles, and they remain one of the teams that has made the most tackles this season. Stuttgart will dictate the game, leaving the hosts to do more running.
Bochum’s high numbers in tackles come as no surprise as they regularly play as underdogs against Stuttgart. We expect the visitors to dictate the tempo of the game, leaving the hosts to chase the ball around. Having made more tackles in each of their last five league meetings, we anticipate the hosts to dominate this aspect once more.
Bochum vs Stuttgart prediction: Tackles result - Home team to win
Eintracht Frankfurt to get warned at least two times: Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt
- Date: 05/04/2025
- Kick-off: 17:30 CET
- Frankfurt struggle to come away without warnings from the ref in matches against Werder Bremen, and playing away from home doesn’t help.
Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt have met many times in this competition, but their last five meetings show that the visitors are fond of making rash tackles. In four of their previous five league meetings, Eintracht received at least two yellow cards, and with Werder likely to trick the visitors into making some late challenges, the chances of Dino Toppmoller’s side avoiding the ref’s booking are slim.
Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: Away total yellow cards - over 1.5
Corner kicks will be in excess: St Pauli vs Borussia Monchengladbach
- Date: 06/04/2025
- Kick-off: 14:30 CET
- Corners were in excess the last time both teams crossed paths, and we believe the upcoming game may end similarly.
Both teams came up against each other last year for the first time since 2011, and their activities on the flanks were impressive. Both teams served nine corners in the reverse fixture, and with Monchengladbach’s style of creating chances through the wings and St. Pauli’s resilience upfront, there’s a decent chance the upcoming game may produce as many corners as the reverse tie.
St Pauli vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction: Total corners - over 8.5
Union Berlin and Wolfsburg will struggle in the final third: Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg
- Date: 06/04/2025
- Kick-off: 17:40 CET
- Goals are usually rare in matches involving both teams, and there’s enough reason to anticipate the same from the upcoming game.
Union Berlin and Wolfsburg have met 11 times in the Bundesliga, but their last seven meetings reveal the nature of these meetings. Six of those encounters ended with less than three goals, thanks to the hosts’ defensive resolve. Wolfsburg struggle to unlock Union Berlin’s defense, and with the hosts lacking ideas in the final third, there’s a decent chance that we may be in for another drab matchup.
