Goals headline the slate, with our strongest play Gladbach vs Heidenheim Over 2.5 at 1.58 leading a round that also rates for overs in Frankfurt–Köln and Union–St. Pauli. The model leans heavily to home advantage (six home wins to two away wins) while still backing six draws, so expect a few tight, high-variance matchups despite the attacking profile. The contrarian angles are the lone under in Hamburg vs Augsburg Under 2.5 at 1.97 and RB Leipzig’s away win at Bremen at 2.08, both priced to punish any complacency. Bayern and Leverkusen are the steadier win plays, but the real edge this weekend sits in picking the right game states rather than chasing favourites.

Goals should be on the menu: Gladbach games are averaging 2.9 total goals and Heidenheim’s are even wilder at 3.3, which makes Over 2.5 a strong starting point. The home side sit 13th on 29 points (33 for, 46 against) and while their recent form is patchy (DWLWL), they’ve still got a major edge over an 18th-placed Heidenheim outfit with 61 conceded and a five-win, two-draw head-to-head run across the last seven. Away from home Heidenheim have looked especially brittle — three wins all season and a DLLLD slide — so even with absences like Shuto Machino and Wael Mohya, Gladbach at 1.60 profiles as the safer result lean rather than a high-confidence play. Expect it to open up once the first goal lands; both defences have been leaking at a rate that keeps totals inflated.

Goals — Over 2.5 at 1.70 is the standout: Frankfurt matches are averaging 3.7 total goals (50 for, 51 against) and Köln aren’t far behind at 3.1 (38 for, 47 against), so neither backline is exactly shutting the door. Frankfurt sit 7th on 38 points but have still conceded 51 in 27, while Köln’s 15th-placed defence has shipped 47 — the numbers point to chances at both ends. Frankfurt are the rightful lean at 2.24 given the eight-place gap, even with Brown and Skhiri missing, but the head-to-head has been sticky (5 draws in the last 10), so a 3.70 stalemate isn’t off the table if Köln can grind.

SC Freiburg (37pts) vs Bayern Munich (70pts) Sun 05 Apr, 00:30

Best pick is Bayern Munich to win at 1.41 (medium): they’re flying at 22-4-1 with a ridiculous 97 goals scored and form of WDWWW, while Freiburg sit 8th on 37 points and have been patchy (WLDLW) with 44 conceded. The recent head-to-head leans heavily Bayern too (8 wins from the last 10), and even with Ito and Laimer missing, their momentum and scoring power should overwhelm a Freiburg side that’s been leaking chances.

Bayer Leverkusen (46pts) vs VfL Wolfsburg (21pts) Sun 05 Apr, 00:30

Best pick: Bayer Leverkusen to win @ 1.45 (Medium) — sixth on 46 points and 52 goals scored, they’ve generally had Wolfsburg’s measure with a 5-3-2 edge across the last 10 H2Hs. Even with Palacios and Terrier missing and a slightly sticky [DDDWD] patch, Leverkusen should have too much for a Wolfsburg side sitting 17th on 21 points and sliding [LDLLL] with 57 conceded. The draw isn’t impossible given three stalemates in that H2H run, but Wolfsburg’s defensive numbers make it a tough sell.

Hamburger SV (30pts) vs Augsburg (31pts) Sun 05 Apr, 00:30

Werder Bremen (28pts) vs RB Leipzig (50pts) Sun 05 Apr, 00:30

Best pick is RB Leipzig to win at 2.08 (medium): they’re 4th on 50 points with 53 goals scored and a far tighter defensive record (35 conceded) than Werder Bremen’s 47 against. Bremen’s patchy [WLWWL] run and 14th-placed profile (30 scored) looks vulnerable to Leipzig’s attacking edge, even with Klostermann and Henrichs out. The only caveat is the head-to-head trend — four draws in the last 10 — but Leipzig’s back end is built to turn those stalemates into three points.

VfB Stuttgart (53pts) vs Borussia Dortmund (61pts) Sun 05 Apr, 02:30

Best pick: Match Winner — VfB Stuttgart @ 2.48 (Medium). Stuttgart are worth backing at home given they’re 3rd on 53 points with a strong 16-5-6 record and 56 goals scored, and their [WWDWD] run suggests they’re still humming while chasing a Champions League spot. Dortmund sit 2nd on 61 with the league’s stingier defence (28 conceded) and a [WWWLD] patch, but the recent H2H (5-2-3 across the last 10) leans Stuttgart’s way and the motivation gap is real even with Zagadou and Stergiou sidelined.

Union Berlin (31pts) vs FC St. Pauli (24pts) Sun 05 Apr, 23:30
