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

Dortmund vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund host Union Berlin in a potentially pivotal clash at the top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday.

Both teams will be aiming to bounce back after crashing out of the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals in midweek, as they look to chase down league leaders Bayern Munich.

We say: Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Union Berlin

Dortmund's season appears to be unravelling at precisely the wrong moment of the campaign, with Terzic's side looking extremely insecure in their recent defeats to Bayern and Leipzig.

Union Berlin, on the other hand, should head into this match with real confidence of causing an upset, with Fischer's side perfectly poised to sting their opponents in transition.

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

Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to win a fifth successive league game when they host Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, have managed to cling onto sixth spot for now despite failing to win any of their last five league matches.

We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Eintracht Frankfurt

Leverkusen have built a serious amount of momentum for themselves in recent weeks, and Alonso will be keen to ensure that his players maintain their winning streak ahead of hosting Union SG in the Europa League on Thursday.

Frankfurt, on the other hand, have seriously run out of steam in recent weeks, and we can envisage them to falling to another league defeat after their huge efforts to beat Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal in midweek.

Freiburg vs. Bayern (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Freiburg will be aiming to inflict their second defeat on Bayern Munich in the space of five days when they host the Bundesliga leaders on Saturday.

Christian Streich's side claimed their first ever victory at Allianz Arena with a 2-1 win in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on Tuesday.

We say: Freiburg 1-2 Bayern Munich

Bayern will be desperate to avenge their cup defeat to Freiburg by claiming all three points at Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday, especially with Dortmund able to leapfrog them at the top of the table should Streich's side prove victorious once again.

The hosts will look to hit Bayern in transition and from set-pieces once again, but we expect Bayern to stand tall this time around and claim a crucial win.

Mainz vs. Werder Bremen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Mainz 05 host Werder Bremen at the MEWA Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The hosts have been sensational in 2023 and could secure an unlikely European qualification come May.

We say: Mainz 05 3-1 Werder Bremen

Mainz have been blowing sides away in the league of late, scoring 10 goals in their games with Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Their next opponents are very much out-of-form, meaning a routine home win is potentially on the cards.

Augsburg vs. FC Koln (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Relegation-threatened pair Augsburg and FC Koln meet at the WWK-Arena this Saturday in an important Bundesliga clash.

Despite both sides being a healthy margin clear of the bottom three, the two are in danger of slipping into trouble.

We say: Augsburg 1-1 FC Koln

Both sides would benefit greatly from a win to ease any doubts with relegation still on their minds, but neither have shown the cutting edge needed to be victorious in recent weeks.

While Augsburg are the masters of letting winning positions slip, Koln are the most prolific side at coming from behind, having taken a league-high 12 points from losing positions in the Bundesliga this season.

Hertha Berlin vs. RB Leipzig (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Hertha Berlin host RB Leipzig on Saturday evening in a potentially crucial match at both ends of the Bundesliga table.

Hertha head into the weekend's action occupying the relegation play-off spot, while Leipzig are two points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots.

We say: Hertha Berlin 1-2 RB Leipzig

Despite facing the threat of relegation, Hertha are certainly not a bad side under Schwarz whatsoever, and they can consider themselves slightly unfortunate to be as low in the table as they are based on their performances this season.

Their misfortune could continue on Saturday, with Leipzig appearing to put their recent poor league form behind them after comfortably dispatching Dortmund in midweek. We can envisage a narrow away win.
