Bundesliga predictions: Round 31: 25/04-27/04

Bayern Munich are two matches away from winning the 2024/25 Bundesliga title, assuming Bayer Leverkusen win their next two league games. The Bavarians are eight points clear of Xabi Alonso’s side and can extend their lead to 11 points when they host struggling Mainz this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund continue to fight hard for a place in the top four, and their current form hasn’t gone unnoticed. They currently sit in 7th place, but they are only four points behind the top four, and playing against a struggling Hoffenheim team suggests they are expected to continue their winning form.

We took a look at this round’s Bundesliga fixtures and came out with the best predictions.

Bundesliga predictions: Round 31: 25/04-27/04

Stuttgart and Heidenheim will entertain fans with goals: Stuttgart vs Heidenheim

• Date: 25/04/2025
• Kick-off: 20:30 CET
• Both teams usually entertain fans with goals, so there’s no reason not to expect the same from this weekend’s matchup.

Heidenheim and Stuttgart have met three times in the Bundesliga, and their last two meetings ended with over 2.5 goals. We expect both teams to exchange goals, but we expect the upcoming game to end similarly to their last two encounters.

Stuttgart vs Heidenheim prediction: Total goals – over 2.5 

Many corners will be won: Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg

• Date: 26/04/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Both teams are fond of winning many corners when they cross paths, so we can expect the same from the upcoming game.

Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg have met many times in this competition, but their last five league meetings averaged 9.4 corners per game. Both teams will attack as expected, hence expecting at least nine corners from this game.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg prediction: Total corners – over 8.5

Monchengladbach will bounce back to winning ways: Holstein Kiel vs Borussia Monchengladbach

• Date: 26/04/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Holstein Kiel have underperformed this term, so we expect little from them this weekend.

The last time both teams met, Borussia Mönchengladbach won 4-1 at home, and that was the first time they crossed paths in this competition. Holstein Kiel are among the worst-performing teams in the Bundesliga, and with the visitors only succumbing to a narrow defeat on the road to Dortmund, we expect them to right their wrongs this weekend.

Holstein Kiel vs Monchengladbach prediction: Away team to win

Yellow cards will come in excess: Hoffenheim vs Dortmund

• Date: 26/04/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Both teams usually make too many rash tackles that lead to bookings, and we expect the same this weekend.

Dortmund don’t find it easy against this opponent, which explains why these encounters produce many bookings. On average, both teams received 6.2 yellow cards per game. We expect the visitors to win this game, but the hosts will not take it lightly. We can choose to anticipate six yellow cards from the upcoming game, but expecting at least four should be a reasonable bet.

Hoffenheim vs Dortmund prediction: Total yellow cards – over 3.5

Bayern Munich to win but fail to keep a clean sheet: Bayern Munich vs Mainz

• Date: 26/04/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Mainz will fall short in Munich, but they are likely to find the back of the net.

Both teams have a long list of meetings in the Bundesliga, but their last eleven meetings were interesting. Bayern scored and conceded in all meetings, so we can lean on them to win the next game without a clean sheet, hoping they will avenge the reversal that ended in Mainz’s favour.

Bayern Munich vs Mainz prediction: Home team to win & both teams to score – yes

Freiburg to be cautioned by the referee: Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

• Date 26/04/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Freiburg struggle to avoid entering the ref’s notebook when they come up against Wolfsburg, and we don’t expect that to change this weekend.

Wolfsburg and Freiburg meetings are usually intense, and we expect the visitors to make plenty of rash tackles. The guests received 15 yellow cards in their last five meetings with Wolfsburg, so expecting at least two warnings from the visitors this weekend shouldn’t raise any eyebrows.

Wolfsburg vs Freiburg prediction: Away total yellow cards – over 1.5

Both teams will entertain fans with goals: Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig

• Date: 26/05/2025
• Kick-off: 18:30 CET
• Goals are usually scored when both teams meet in this competition, and we count on this weekend’s matchup to follow suit.

Both teams have scored many goals this season in this competition, and we expect them to display their attacking prowess this weekend. Four of their last five meetings ended with three or more goals, so we expect the upcoming game to finish with 3+ goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig prediction: Total goals – over 2.5

Bochum to bounce back to winning ways: Bochum vs Union Berlin

• Date: 27/05/2025
• Kick-off: 15:30 CET
• Bochum have actually enjoyed coming up against Union Berlin, and we expect them to come out on top again.

Union Berlin haven’t won in their last five league meetings with Bochum, losing four and drawing one. The hosts are fighting against relegation, and coupled with their fine form against this opponent, we decided to take a risk and back the hosts to win.

Bochum vs Union Berlin prediction: Home team to win

St. Pauli will be booked: Werder Bremen vs St. Pauli

• Date: 27/05/2025
• Kick-off: 17:30 CET
• Werder Bremen will attack more, so we can expect the visitors to make rash challenges.

Werder Bremen and St. Pauli met once in the Bundesliga since their last meeting in 2011. St. Pauli received two yellow cards in the reverse fixture. The hosts will attack more to impress their home fans, leaving the visitors no choice but to chase the ball around and make several late challenges all day. We expect the ref to caution the visitors at least twice before the last whistle.

Werder Bremen vs St Pauli prediction: Away total yellow cards – over 1.5
