Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Borussia Dortmund vs. Union Berlin

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Bundesliga fixtures, including Borussia Dortmund vs. Union Berlin.


Dortmund vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to go four wins from four matches in the Bundesliga when they welcome Union Berlin to Signal Iduna Park for a gameweek seven clash on Saturday evening.

The hosts are currently in fourth place with 14 points after the first six matches, while the visitors are 11th, having secured only six points in as many matches this term.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Union Berlin


What we have here are two sides with completely contrasting forms. Dortmund's home record has been incredible for over a year now, and their record against this opponent adds to our confidence that they will secure another win here. Unfortunately for the visitors, if that is to be the case, it will equate to their seventh consecutive loss in all competitions.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

RB Leipzig vs. VfL Bochum (Saturday, 2.30pm)

RB Leipzig will expect to earn a comfortable victory when they host VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors are winless so far this season, having drawn three of their six league games and already been knocked out of the DFB-Pokal.

We say: RB Leipzig 3-0 VfL Bochum


Bochum could be travelling to Leipzig at the worst possible moment, with the hosts set to be determined to return to winning ways after putting everything into their matches against Bayern and Man City without receiving the rewards which they would have hoped for.

Rose's side have undoubtedly established themselves as one of the strongest four teams in the Bundesliga, and we cannot see them having any issues at the Red Bull Arena this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Augsburg vs. SV Darmstadt 98 (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Augsburg and SV Darmstadt 98 will both be hoping to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone when they meet in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Despite losing their last match, Augsburg head into the encounter one point clear of their forthcoming opponents, who won their first game of the season last time out.

We say: Augsburg 2-1 SV Darmstadt 98


These sides are both likely to be involved in relegation battles for the entirety of the campaign, making this meeting a crucial six-pointer, with Darmstadt coming into it at the right time after securing their first win of the season last weekend.

However, Augsburg clearly possess far more experience at this level and they showed plenty of grit to hold onto victory against Mainz despite falling down to 10-men in their last home game, so we will back them to earn another crucial win.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Stuttgart vs. Wolfsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Stuttgart will be aiming to make it six wins from seven league games when they host Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, trail their opponents by three points having won four and lost two league matches so far this season.

We say: Stuttgart 2-1 Wolfsburg


Providing that Stuttgart have their key offensive players available - particularly Guirassy, who has been irresistible so far this season - then we can envisage them moving to the top of the Bundesliga table by recording another win on Saturday.

Wolfsburg represent a solid outfit under Kovac, but they remain inconsistent in terms of results, and the former Bayern Munich boss must work out a way to help his side perform better on the road.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Werder Bremen vs. Hoffenheim (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Both teams will be hoping to bounce back from defeat when Werder Bremen take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga's Saturday evening kickoff slot.

The hosts lost 4-2 away to SV Darmstadt 98, while Hoffenheim were beaten 3-1 at home by Borussia Dortmund.

We say: Werder Bremen 1-2 Hoffenheim


Having ended last season in a serious slump after beginning the campaign so quickly to allay any relegation concerns, Werder Bremen could be in for a tougher campaign having sold their star striker Fullkrug to Dortmund.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, appear to be a more serious proposition under Hoeness despite losing to BVB in their last match, and we can envisage the offensive combination of Kramaric and Weghorst helping the visitors to a marginal victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
