Saturday's Bundesliga predictions including Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich

---

B. Leverkusen vs. Schalke (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to leapfrog Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga table - and move outside of the automatic relegation places in the process - by beating them on Saturday.

The visitors have succumbed to two successive defeats, meanwhile, and are edging closer to the bottom three.

We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Schalke 04

We expect Leverkusen to put their recent woes behind them to some extent by claiming a second league win of the season on Saturday, especially with a new manager to impress.

Schalke look set for a long, difficult season ahead of them and there is little doubting the hosts' superiority in terms of their individual abilities.

Mainz 05 vs. RB Leipzig (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Mainz 05 will be looking to end a winless run of three games when they host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, are aiming for back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.

We say: Mainz 05 1-2 RB Leipzig

Rose seems to have decided attack is the best form of defence at Leipzig, and we can envisage them gaining a narrow victory as a result on Saturday.

Mainz have not looked at their best in recent times and, while they are never likely to be pushovers under Svensson, they may lack a bit of quality to get a positive result at the weekend.

VfL Bochum vs. Frankfurt (Saturday, 2.30pm)

VfL Bochum's search for their first win of the season continues on Saturday as they host Eintracht Frankfurt.

The visitors come into the game off the back of a goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League after beating Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin last weekend.

We say: VfL Bochum 0-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Thomas Letsch has been handed a difficult start to life as VfL Bochum manager, and we struggle to see them getting any positive result here.

Frankfurt will be full of confidence after a magnificent result against Berlin last week, and a very respectable draw with Spurs on Tuesday.

Augsburg vs. Wolfsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Augsburg will be looking to make it four successive league wins when they host Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, have won two of their last three matches to move outside of the relegation places.

We say: Augsburg 2-1 Wolfsburg

Augsburg have gathered serious momentum of late, and we expect that to continue by beating Wolfsburg at the weekend.

Maassen's side simply look to have more firepower than their forthcoming opponents, which should help them to a fourth consecutive win.

Dortmund vs. Bayern (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund take on Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga's Saturday evening kickoff.

The two rivals head into Der Klassiker level on 15 points from eight matches, with Bayern one spot ahead of their forthcoming opponents due to boasting a significantly superior goal difference.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 1-3 Bayern Munich

We expect to see an entertaining Der Klassiker on Saturday, with both teams possessing plenty of attacking firepower.

However, Bayern have looked somewhere close to returning to their best in the past week - scoring nine goals in two matches combined - and should have too much quality for their rivals.
