Goals — Over 2.5 @ 1.54 (High) stands out when Dortmund matches are averaging 3.1 total goals and Leverkusen’s are even looser at 3.5, with both clubs combining for 118 scored this season (60+58). Dortmund’s 19-7-2 record and +32 goal difference (60 for, 28 against) underlines why they’re a 2.04 (Medium) play to win despite missing F. Mané and S. Ostrzinski, especially with four wins from their last five. Leverkusen sit 6th but still bring punch (58 scored) while conceding 39, which keeps the door open for a high-tempo shootout even if their recent run has leaned draw-heavy (WDDDW). The head-to-head leans Dortmund (5-2-3 across the last 10), and it’s hard to see either side parking the bus given these scoring profiles.

Goals — Over 2.5 is the standout: Wolfsburg matches are averaging 3.6 total goals (38 for, 63 against in 28), while Frankfurt are even looser at 3.8 (52 for, 53 against). The table gap is massive (Wolfsburg 17th on 21 points vs Frankfurt 7th on 39), but neither side keeps things tight, and recent form suggests volatility rather than control — Wolfsburg [LLDLL], Frankfurt [DLWDW]. Even with Wolfsburg missing Jonas Older Wind and Mohamed Amoura, their defensive record (63 conceded) keeps the door open for a high-scoring script, and the H2H has been cagey at times (5 draws in the last 10) without consistently suppressing goals.

Goals look the standout: Köln games are averaging 3.2 total goals (40 for, 49 against) and Bremen aren’t far behind at 2.9 (31 for, 49 against), so Over 2.5 at 1.70 rates as the best play. The head-to-head leans tight but not low-scoring — across the last 10 meetings it’s 2 wins Köln, 4 draws, 4 wins Bremen, with that draw rate (40%) keeping the 3.70 stalemate in the frame. Still, Bremen bring the momentum with three wins in their last five (LWLWW) versus Köln’s winless five (DDDLL), and with Köln missing Jacob Christensen, Julian Pauli and L. Kilian, the 3.25 away price has genuine bite. With both defences sitting on 49 conceded, it doesn’t take much for this one to open up.

Goals — Over 2.5 at 1.85 looks the standout: Heidenheim’s matches are running at 3.3 total goals per game (29 for, 63 against) and Union’s at 2.8 (32 for, 47 against), with both defences regularly giving up high-quality looks. Union sit 10th on 32 points and are eight places clear of 18th-placed Heidenheim (16 points), but they’re not at full strength with Frederik Rønnow and Lucas Tousart missing, which dents their control and clean-sheet ceiling. Heidenheim’s [DDLLL] slide and 18 losses underline why Union at 2.36 is still the logical lean, yet the visitors’ own [DLWLL] patchiness plus a 6-3-1 H2H split across the last 10 keeps the draw (3.60) in the conversation. Even so, with Heidenheim conceding 63 in 28 and Union allowing 47, it’s hard to see this staying tight for long.

Mon 13 Apr, 01:30
VfB Stuttgart to win at 1.48 (Medium) looks the right play: they’re 4th on 53 points with 16 wins and 56 goals scored, and they’ve got far more to protect than a Hamburg side sitting 12th on 31 points after just seven wins. Even with Zagadou and Stergiou out, Stuttgart’s recent edge (LWWDW versus DLDWL) and a solid H2H lean (six wins from the last 10) suggest they should control this one and keep their top-four push on track.

VfB Stuttgart are the clear favorites — 3/5 recent wins, sitting 4th in the table, 8 places higher than Hamburger SV (though missing Dan Axel Zagadou, Leonidas Stergiou)

Sat 11 Apr, 23:30
RB Leipzig to win at 1.53 looks the right lean: they’ve taken four of their last five (WWLWW), sit 3rd on 53 points with 55 goals scored, and they’re facing a Gladbach side stuck 13th on 30 with a leaky 48 conceded. The visitors’ recent patch (DDWLW) has a bit of spark, but Leipzig’s momentum and overall profile should tell, even with Klostermann and Henrichs unavailable. H2H is slightly in Leipzig’s favour over the last 10 (5-2-3), which supports the straight result rather than getting too cute.
RB Leipzig vs Borussia Monchengladbach — Pick: RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig are the clear favorites — 4/5 recent wins, sitting 3rd in the table, 10 places higher than Borussia Monchengladbach (though missing Lukas Klostermann, Benjamin Henrichs)
