Bundesliga Betting Odds | Opening round Tips | Predictions

bayern munich once again took the bundesliga by storm last season, cruising to victory by 10 points with a goal difference that was almost twice as good as their nearest rivals. can any team hope to stop them this season? we doubt it. but let’s take a look at the opening round of bundesliga matches as we bring you our latest german football betting tips, predictions and live betting odds comparison.

bayern munich v hamburg betting tips – 14th august 2015

match odds
pep guardiola’s side begin their title defence against a team who were very close to falling out of the top flight altogether last term. having finished in 16th place in the 18-team division, hamburg had to take part in a two-legged play-off against second-tier karlsruhe, which die rothosen scraped through 3-2 on aggregate.

having been crowned german champions three times and being the only club never to have been relegated from the top division, hamburg will see last season as something of a low point. but – having survived – they will be more than keen to get things back on track this season. they could have hoped for an easier start than a trip to munich, of course.

priced at betting odds of just 2/17 with 888sport to win this one, with hamburg out at odds as long as 33/1 to get the three points, the bookies really can’t see an upset happening here. guardiola’s men hit eight goals past hamburg in the corresponding fixture last season, and many will be expecting something similar here. but after losing on penalties to wolfsburg after managing just a 1-1 draw in the german super cup on 1st august, we fancy bayern won’t be fully in their stride and backing the visitors with a handicap of +2.5 goals looks a decent option at best odds of 9/10 with betvictor.

borussia dortmund v borussia mönchengladbach betting tips – 15th august 2015

match odds
dortmund had a tough time of things last season by their high standards, missing out on european qualification and finishing 33 points behind the champions bayern. inspirational manager jurgen klopp stood down at the end of the season, with former mainz boss thomas tuchel taking the reins. klopp’s boots will be tough to fill and we predict it could be another testing season ahead for der bvb.

mönchengladbach, meanwhile, had a great season and finished third to qualify for the champions league and swiss boss lucien favre has cause for optimism ahead of the new campaign. die fohlen had a strong end to the season and if they can carry that momentum on to this term they could get some good results under their belts… starting at dortmund.

despite the visitors finishing above dortmund in the table, it is the home side who are priced as the 4/5 favourites to get the three points. the draw is priced at 14/5 with sportingbet, while mönchengladbach are way out at betting odds of 4/1 with coral. given than favre’s side won 3-1 when the sides last met, we think grabbing that price of 4/1 has to be the way to go, and that is our main betting tip here as we predict the away win.

wolfsburg v eintracht frankfurt betting tips – 16th august 2015

match odds
wolfsburg were the surprise runners-up in the bundesliga last season, 10 points adrift of bayern, but still a very respectable position to achieve considering they rarely make it into the top four. they also added the german cup to their cabinet after defeating dortmund 3-1 in the final on 30th may 2015 making it one of their most successful seasons ever.

frankfurt, however, had to settle for a mid-table finish in what turned out to be a rather low key season. manager armin veh doesn’t have a great deal to work with in terms of the quality of players at his disposal, but he keeps things ticking along nicely enough.

wolfsburg, though, will be going all out to mount a real challenge for the title this season and we predict they’ll get off to a storming start here. we fancy them to be winning at half time and full time and that is our main betting tip here at best betting odds of 23/17 with 888sport. frankfurt might have managed a 2-2 draw at wolfsburg last season, but we can’t see a repeat of that this time around.

bayer leverkusen v hoffenheim betting tips – 15th august 2015

match odds
leverkusen finished fourth last season to squeeze themselves into the champions league places, while hoffenheim were back in eighth place, which is a reasonable enough position for them. both sides will have the main aim of champions league qualification on their radars this term, but while hoffenheim’s aim is somewhat hopeful to say the least, leverkusen should have enough to achieve their goal.

when these sides met last season it was leverkusen who came out on top, 2-0 at home and 1-0 away. we predict roger schmidt’s men will earn a similar result in this one, with the odds for the home side to win to nil looking particularly attractive at 9/5 with paddy power.

other bundesliga matches

match odds
of the other matches, we will get to see how newly promoted sides darmstadt and ingolstadt fare as they host hannover and visit mainz respectively. both sides will have the pluckiness to take games to the opposition and we wouldn’t be surprised to see each of them earn a point from their opening matches (priced at respective betting odds of 9/5 with bet365 and 13/5 with ladbrokes… that could make a nice double!).

match odds
hertha berlin, who only stayed out of the perils of the relegation play-off on account of their superior goal difference compared to hamburg, travel to augsburg, who finished in a very respectable fifth place last season. it will be tough for the team from the capital but we fancy they can nick an unexpected away victory here and backing them at nice betting odds of 16/5 with william hill is our main tip.

we predict that schalke will be another side to make a winning start on the road as they visit werder bremen. they won 3-0 at werder last september and at best betting odds of 21/10 with bet365 for the victory, they look great value to us.

match odds
finally, stuttgart versus koln sees two sides hoping to get off to a positive start as they work towards their primary aim of avoiding the relegation dogfight. koln won 2-0 at stuttgart last season, but the return fixture was a dour 0-0 affair. with neither side wanting to take too many chances this early in the season we predict it could be a low-scoring game once again and backing under 2.5 goals to be scored is our betting tip at odds of 3/4 with ladbrokes – not the longest odds in the world but a bet we are confident will bring home a profit nonetheless.
