Bundesliga Matchday 20 Predictions

Hoffenheim vs. Dortmund - both teams and Haaland to Score (-105)

Borussia Dortmund's shambolic defense was exposed once again in a shock 2-1 midweek defeat to lower-league side St. Pauli in the DFB-Pokal. That may have knocked their confidence somewhat, and it certainly took the shine off last weekend’s 5-1 victory over Freiburg.

It's hard to see Dortmund keeping a clean sheet against Hoffenheim, who've found the back of the net in eight out of nine home games so far this season. Dortmund should also score, having done so in 18 of their 19 matches thus far.

The key dangerman is Erling Haaland, who's banged in an impressive 27 goals in 22 games this season.

Bayern -1.75 (-118)

Bayern Munich's bid for a 10th consecutive Bundesliga title took a slight knock when they lost 2-1 to Borussia Mönchengladbach on Jan. 7. There were mitigating circumstances, though: a COVID-19 outbreak deprived Bayern of many key players.

However, a few stars returned for the trip to Cologne last weekend. Bayern eased to a 4-0 win, and they should be full of confidence ahead of this game against the struggling Hertha Berlin. Most of their key players are now back in business, which is bad news for their rivals.

Hertha are just four points above the relegation zone after losing nine of 19 games. They've been unfortunate, conceding 38 goals when their expected goals against tally is only 31.77. Bad luck aside, Hertha struggle against clinical strikers, and they don't get more clinical than Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski.

RB Leipzig and Under 4.5 goals (-118)

RB Leipzig have won back-to-back games against Mainz and Stuttgart since returning rejuvenated from the winter break. They are up to seventh - just four points behind third-placed Leverkusen - and should be capable of securing a top-four finish.

Wolfsburg are heading in the opposite direction. They had a flying start to the season but have taken just two points from their last eight games, leaving them in relegation danger. Their expected goals tally is 27.07 but wayward finishing means they've scored only 17 times in 19 games.

Matches featuring Wolfsburg feature 2.47 goals on average. This one is likely to stay Under 4.5 and Leipzig should prevail.
