Bundesliga Matchday 8 Picks & Predictions

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen Pick: Match Total Over 3.5 | -135 at DraftKings

Friday, September 30 | 2:30 p.m. ET

Stop me if you heard this before, Bayern should run away with this one. It’s time to get back to the Bayern we all know and love. Bayern were in terrible form before break only getting 6 points in the past five matches, but these are the champs and its time return to form.

Bayern are far too talented to continue on the path they are on. Leverkusen may have finally gotten back on track as well, grabbing draw points in each of their last two matches to get them out of the relegation zone. A terrible stat for Leverkusen is that they have allowed a goal in every match this season but one, terrible matchup for a hungary Bayern team.

Leipzig vs. Bochum Pick: Match Total Over 3.25 | -120 at DraftKings

Saturday, October 1 | 9:30 a.m. ET

Leipzig need a big win and there is no team that loves to get blown out like Bochum. Leipzig were the clear 2^nd best team in the Bundesliga and a lock for a Champions League place in the preseason but that has not translated to the pitch. Bochum have 1 point in seven matches this season in the Bundesliga with a 5 goals for and 19 goals against difference.

They have suffered some close heartbreaking defeats and a lot matches with goals. If you take out the Bayern match (7-0 loss), they still average just under 3 goals a match. With Leipzig looking to right the ship, I expect they might get three or four themselves. 

Union Berlin vs. Frankfurt Pick: Match Total Over 2.5 | -110 at DraftKings

Saturday, October 1 | 9:30 a.m. ET

Both these teams love to score goals and play pretty solid defense. I am going with offense over defense in this case. Prior to the break, Frankfurt had 18 goals in the past five Bundesliga matches scoring 12 and conceding 6. They have an open style of play that leaves them open to counters if they do not get back to recover.

Union Berlin sit atop of the Bundesliga (for now). Could we be witnessing a magical Leicester City run when they won the English Premier League? They are a 2 points above Dortmund for the top spot and sit at +5000 to win the league. It’s worth a long shot for a couple of bucks because this team has all the pieces to surprise a lot of people.
