Bundesliga

Bundesliga analyst Anthony Dabbundo breaks down his Bundesliga picks and predictions for the weekend slate in Germany.

With +120 on the draw no bet line, I’d bet Hoffenheim as the more likely to win this match. They had an unfortunate loss to Freiburg just before the international break in a match that they were about even with a top half side on the road for all 90 minutes. By far the best unit in this entire matchup is Hoffenheim’s attack, which has struggled for goals of late and has thus gotten way too deflated in the market. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. Bremen have major defensive flaws this season and after a period of mid-table play in the first half of the season, they’ve regressed back toward their true talent level of a relegation side in the German top flight. In a matchup where both defenses come in undervalued by the market and Leipzig have the potential to be flat off the international break, I’ll take under 3 at -140 or better. The international break is over and the Bundesliga is ready for the sprint to the finish of its season. Leipzig’s defense is excellent and still has allowed the fewest xG and shots per match in the Bundesliga this season. Bo Svensson’s side is third in the Bundesliga in box entries and ranks in the top-six since the World Cup break in xG allowed per match. RB Leipzig are in a tricky spot here coming off the international break because they’re out of the Bundesliga title race and could get caught looking ahead to a critical DFB-Pokal clash at home against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Union Berlin are excellent as an underdog because Urs Fischer’s side prefers to play without the ball (16th in possession percentage of 18 teams in Germany). They have an even xG difference but have run extremely poorly in close games for the better part of 1.5 full Bundesliga seasons.

That is the combination." But as I said it is a characteristic of the Bundesliga to have many talented young players." I think that is very important." "It is a quarter-final in the Champions League that has two top teams. And the positioning of the players is special." I think that is important for the Bundesliga. "I think it is not about fairness. "For sure, it is the biggest stage in club football. That is the reason why we call it the German Klassiker." "I think it is about the history. But it was a great and very important final for us at Bayern Munich." But Dortmund had won the championship in 2011 and 2012 so it was very important not to lose the Champions League final in 2013.

Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia agreed to extend his contract by one year to 2027 this week. Jimmy Greaves was 22 and had already left Milan and headed back to London when he won a Serie A medal in 1962. Not all the players at Bayern like the sound of that. Fikayo Tomori was 23 last year when he won Serie A with Milan. 'He had not lost the dressing room,' said Joshua Kimmich of Nagelsmann. Clearly there was never a dull moment during Nagelsmann's time at Bayern. Laurie Cunningham was 24 in 1980 when he won La Liga with Real Madrid. But their surge provoked Bayern to sack Julian Nagelsmann last week. 'We had to react,' said Bayern's Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic. If Bellingham does win the Bundesliga this season he will become the youngest Englishman to win one of Europe's major leagues.

Tomorrow will be April Fool's Day: a day for silly pranks, joking news articles, and high-leverage matches that can decide the Bundesliga.

Ultimately, I would not be doing my job as the editor of this site without throwing in a little optimism, so I’m going to predict a wild 3-2 win that goes down in club history as one of the biggest results ever. In further good news, Gregor Kobel, who missed a string of matches prior to the international break with an injury, should be healthy and ready to join the squad against Bayern tomorrow. The young winger has been fantastic in the new year, despite his initial slow start to the season, but he is only just coming off a hamstring injury. With a win, Dortmund can go from hopefuls for the Bundesliga title to serious contenders, and will keep their fates in their own hands, with a four point lead with only eight games remaining in the Bundesliga.
