Goals are the headline this weekend, with the strongest play landing in Freiburg vs Heidenheim: Over 2.5 at 1.65 (High), and the model also leaning to overs in Union vs Wolfsburg and St. Pauli vs Köln. Overall, the slate profiles as tight: 5 home wins, 3 away wins and 5 draws backed, alongside 3 overs and 2 unders. The contrarian angles sit with the away sides — Mainz at 2.88 in Gladbach and Stuttgart at a massive 7.00 in Munich — while Werder Bremen vs Hamburg is the round’s main unders look at Under 2.5 (2.12).

Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 rates as the best value given these sides live in high-event games: Freiburg matches are averaging 3.1 total goals (42 for, 47 against in 29), while Heidenheim are even looser at 3.3 (32 for, 64 against). Freiburg sit 8th on 40 points with 11 wins, and even with Höfler and Rosenfelder out they’re still 10 places clear of an 18th-placed Heidenheim outfit on 19 points and leaking 2.2 goals per game. The head-to-head leans Freiburg (4 wins from the last 7, plus a draw), but the 1.64 win price feels tighter than the goals line when both teams’ numbers scream end-to-end. Heidenheim’s recent WDDLL suggests they can nick something, yet their defensive profile keeps pushing this toward another three-plus goal script.

Goals — Over 2.5 at 1.88 (High) looks the best way in: Union Berlin games are running at 2.9 total goals per match (33 for, 50 against in 29), while Wolfsburg are even wilder at 3.6 (39 for, 65 against). Union sit 11th on 32 points and should control more of it than 17th-placed Wolfsburg (21 points), but key outs like Frederik Rønnow and Lucas Tousart can strip defensive structure and invite chaos. Wolfsburg’s form line (LLLDL) and 65 conceded screams vulnerability, yet they’re still scoring enough to keep overs alive. The head-to-head is relatively split (5-1-4 last 10), so a Union win at 2.28 is playable but lower confidence than the goals angle.

Bayer Leverkusen (52pts) vs Augsburg (33pts) Sat 18 Apr, 23:30

Best pick: Bayer Leverkusen to win @ 1.46 (Medium) — the head-to-head leans their way (6 wins in the last 10, with Augsburg only taking three), and the table gap backs it up: 5th on 52 points versus 10th on 33. Leverkusen’s form has stabilised (WWDDD) and they’ve got the firepower (59 scored) to punish an Augsburg side sliding hard (DDLLL) with 53 conceded. Even without Palacios and Terrier, the historical edge and Augsburg’s defensive numbers make the home win the percentage play.

Eintracht Frankfurt (42pts) vs RB Leipzig (56pts) Sun 19 Apr, 02:30

RB Leipzig to win at 2.08 (medium) gets the nod: they’re 4th on 56 points with 17 wins and arrive in better nick (WWWLW) than Frankfurt’s patchier WDLWD, plus they’ve won 5 of the last 10 head-to-heads. Frankfurt’s 54-for, 54-against profile screams volatility, and while home comforts can keep them competitive, Leipzig’s +20 goal difference (56 scored, 36 conceded) travels well even with Klostermann and Henrichs missing. The draw at 4.10 isn’t impossible given only three ladder spots separate them, but Leipzig’s ability to control games should edge it.

Werder Bremen (28pts) vs Hamburger SV (31pts) Sat 18 Apr, 23:30

FC St. Pauli (25pts) vs 1. FC Köln (30pts) Sat 18 Apr, 04:30

Borussia Monchengladbach (30pts) vs FSV Mainz 05 (33pts) Mon 20 Apr, 03:30

1.95

Bayern Munich (76pts) vs VfB Stuttgart (56pts) Mon 20 Apr, 01:30

Best pick is the away win: Stuttgart at 7.00 is a live price for a side sitting 3rd on 56 points with a [WLWWD] run, especially against a Bayern outfit that’s wobbling slightly at [WWWDW] and carrying absences in Ito, Laimer and Davies. Yes, the head-to-head screams Bayern (7-2-1 across the last 10) and the numbers are outrageous (105 for, 27 against), but with only two ladder spots separating them and both trending well, this has more upset potential than the market’s suggesting. If Stuttgart can keep it tight early, the draw at 5.75 also fits the momentum angle.
