The highly competitive action in the German Bundesliga continues on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a rare round of midweek matches. You can find our Bundesliga picks for matchday 17 here.

Bundesliga Picks

Holstein Kiel vs. Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund are enduring a poor campaign, winning their fewest number of points at this stage in seven years. However, the German side look good value to bounce back from their poor away performances this weekend against a Holstein Kiel side that have already conceded a staggering 41 goals in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Mainz

Leverkusen have rediscovered their best form in recent months, winning each of their last nine across all competitions. They haven’t enjoyed a longer winning sequence since November 2023. Mainz have a positive scoring record on the road, netting at least three in six of their last seven. Both teams to score could be the most eye-catching angle on Tuesday, with Leverkusen claiming the win.

Wolfsburg vs. Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach have avoided defeat in their last ten matches against Wolfsburg. Meanwhile, the hosts have been below their best in home matches, winning just eight points from as many matches this season. But, they have scored at least once in each of the last 20. However, the trends point to an away win on Tuesday.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Freiburg

Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying their best start to a Bundesliga season in the three-point era. Meanwhile, Freiburg have also played at a consistent level throughout 2024-25. However, the visitors are winless in their last five on the road, meaning this could be a good opportunity for Frankfurt to end a two-game winless run at home.

Bochum vs. St. Pauli

Bochum have won just once in their last 19 home Bundesliga matches against promoted sides. Meanwhile, it is also worth considering that they are playing their worst campaign this millennium after picking up just six points from 16 matches. St. Pauli have won their last three Bundesliga matches on a Wednesday, and that is a key trend to follow.

Bayern Munich vs. Hoffenheim

Bayern Munich have won just eight of their last 17 against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. However, the visitors are enduring a testing season after winning just 14 points from their opening 16 matches. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim have failed to win in their last eight matches. Therefore, it is hard to overlook the runaway leaders in Germany.

Stuttgart vs. RB Leipzig

Stuttgart recorded their first win against Leipzig in 12 attempts last season. However, Leipzig have won nine of their last 12 against their opponents in the Bundesliga. The visitors could still be vulnerable this week, as Stuttgart have been dominant in home matches in Germany throughout this season.

Werder Bremen vs. Heidenheim

Heidenheim recorded a rare win in their latest match, and they could record successive wins in the top flight for just the third time in their history. However, the home advantage could be telling. Werder Bremen are unbeaten in their last four at home, and could record a convincing win against their opponents on Wednesday.

Union Berlin vs. Augsburg

Augsburg have suffered just one defeat in their last ten Bundesliga matches against Union Berlin. Meanwhile, the hosts are winless in their last nine Bundesliga matches. Augsburg have also struggled, failing to win in their last four. Little separates these sides based on recent results, meaning a chance is taken on the draw.
