Bayern Munich’s lead at the top of the Bundesliga remained at one point over Union Berlin after both clubs won at the weekend. RB Leipzig dropped points in their attempt to chase down Bayern in their goalless draw with Cologne, while Borussia Dortmund got a goal from Sebastien Haller in a 4-1 victory against shorthanded Freiburg.
The league is very congested at the top from first place Bayern on 40 points down to Freiburg in sixth on 34. The highlight match of the weekend is Union Berlin’s trip to RB Leipzig, and while it’s not included in this preview amongst my best bets, I did take Leipzig -135 on the three-way moneyline at home and would play it up to -140.
Bayern should have no issues dispatching Bochum at home, but the Bavarians do have a Tuesday clash with PSG in the Champions League looming. Dortmund have a tricky away day against Werder Bremen, who beat them in Dortmund early in the season. Eintracht Frankfurt also are a toss-up on the road against surging Cologne in one of the two Sunday matches.
Here are my three best bets for the weekend Bundesliga slate:
