Let's kick off with RB Leipzig, who are fourth, taking on Holstein Kiel, who are down in the 18th. It's on Saturday, the 19th of April. It's at 2.30 UK time.

Sign up with the bonus code FP365. Well, Leipzig have had a good couple of matches since not having a good couple of matches, haven't they? And Holstein Kiel not having anything.

The Moose: 1:39

Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it. Leipzig back on track, really. They got three wins from the last four matches in the Bundesliga now. Means they're back in the fourth spot for the Champions League qualification. Or actually, in Germany, the fourth spot take goes to Champions League directly. But there are only two points above Mainz. So there's still a lot of work to do. And there's only five matches left. Three points behind Frankfurt in third. Last weekend, they played Wolfsburg away from home. We had it down as a both-team-to-score prediction, and yeah, both teams certainly did score. Leipzig won that game 3-2. The game before that, and their lastest home game, was against Hoffenheim, where 2-1 Leipzig. It ended 3-1, so both teams to score, and the outcome in that prediction. But yeah Leipzig prior to this little spell of three wins from four they only had one win from 10 so I have to correct myself that one win from nine sorry but yeah now they're fully back into they're playing a Holstein Kiel team that is a pretty much doomed but can still make the relegation playoff they have got four points up to Heidenheim in 16th but a mighty 11 points up to San Paolo in 15th. So clear survival is probably out of the picture, but they could possibly still sneak into that relegation playoff. The only problem that Holstein Kiel has is that they are conceding a lot of goals and they've conceded a lot this season. They are the team in the Bundesliga who have conceded the most, nearly an average of two and a half goals per game last weekend. And that was a key game. If they were to avoid relegation altogether, Get the. Or even the playoff, because they had a home game to St. Pauli. And St. Pauli now 11 points ahead of Holstein Kiel, because St. Pauli ended up winning that game. But guess what? The outcome prediction here on Football Predictions was a St. Pauli win in that game. It also takes Holstein Kiel now to five games without a win, and just one win from their last 12 matches. Away from home, just one win all season. That happened at Union Berlin. That's also the latest win for Holstin Kiel. But in general, away from home, Holstin Kiel is shipping a lot of goals every single game. Apart from that Union Berlin away game, so every single away game for Holstin Kiel this season has ended with both teams to score. So Holstin Kiel, despite not picking up any wins, are still scoring goals away from home. But yeah, against Union Berlin, that was the only game this season. Deep one away from home managed to pick up the point now against leipzig that's going to be a very tricky test leipzig i'm sure we'll be all over holstein keel because another win and a step closer to the chairman's league for them possibly yeah.

Peter Guest: 4:31

I think you're right they're doomed aren't they and uh well this one is probably going to be one-way traffic let's face it we've actually gone for over 2.5 goals tip for this one odds you can get there 1.4 and for a full-time result prediction we have gone for a kind of a hefty RB Leipzig win at the Red Bull Arena it's for a RB Leipzig win you can only get 1.33 so not even as good as the over market there however we've gone for maybe something of a bit more of interest 3-0 is what we're predicting and the odds for a correct score prediction for that is 9.5 looking at the other odds it's Holstein Keeler way out at eight. If you really did fancy a crazy one, then you would go for that. But a draw 5.75. And like I said, RB Leipzig down 1.33 for the victory, which is what we think will happen in this game. So 3-0 to the home side. Next up, we've got Heidenheim in 16th. Another mismatch. They're up against Bayern Munich, who are top of the league. And this one's on Saturday, the 19th of April, 2.30pm. Click the link in the description of this podcast and you'll be able to see your local kick-off time odds streaming options available. You can watch this one on Bet365 live-streamed. To qualify for that, all you need is funds in your account, just anything, or to a place to bet with them in the last 24 hours. And when you join, do use the bonus code FP365. Well, it's an interesting one. Heidenheim were looking to have turned the corner a bit, but they've fallen back into bad ways. But Bayern themselves, and they'll be a bit sore after falling out of the Champions League, will they be looking to avenge that with a win?

The Moose: 6:03

Bayern Munich still has some work to do in the Bundesliga if they want to win it, although they are six points ahead of Bayern Leverkusen now with just five matches to go. So it looks like, going their way but Heidenheim is fighting at the bottom of the league and they are still in need of points here in order to avoid the drop altogether they are most likely going to finish in 16th which is that spot for the relegation playoff against the second Bundesliga team that will finish third now Heidenheim yeah they have run into a few defeats of late but they have played some strong opponents they played Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt both in second and third in the Bundesliga both turned into defeat both for outcome predictions that we had correct here on football predictions now they're playing Bayern who is first so I think this little sequence of games probably couldn't have come at a worse time for Heidenheim to play the top three within three matches that's pretty unfortunate Heidenheim overall though when we do look at their form yeah they had picked up a few wins because they beat Holstin Kiel and Wolfsburg before the Frankfurt and Leverkusen game. And they do tend to have a goal in them, although they've not scored in the last two games against the top sides. Now, for Bayern Munich, like you said, you've got to be a bit sore because they are out of the chairman's league. They got knocked out by Inter Milan midweek. They went to Inter Milan. We had a score draw in that game, as it has to be said. And then last weekend, we had both teams score in the game against Dortmund. Always guaranteed entertainment when those two are playing. and it ended 2-2, so lots of goals there. And in general, when we do see Bayern play, the last six games now in the Bundesliga have ended with both teams to score. And also Bayern a little bit shaky. They have three wins, two draws and a defeat from the last six games. So it's not all that convincing for Bayern. Now going into this game though, Bayern know they only have now the Bundesliga to play for because they are also out of the DFB-Pukal. So really this is the only trophy that they can win this season. And what do we think is going to happen?

Peter Guest: 8:09

Harry Kane must be thinking, not again, because it happened last year. But then again, they were trailing for most of the year, weren't they, in the championship. But yeah, the Champions League is gone. DFB Pokal is gone. It's only the league. They've got to win it, surely. Anyway, let's come to our predictions. We have actually, for this one, to make them even a bit more nervous, we've gone for both teams to score. It's 7-5. That's probably the best value you'll get for this game, we think. They're the odds, 1.75, both teams scoring. But for a full-time result prediction, we have opted, of course, for Bayern Munich for the away win. Odds there, 1.29. And for the correct score, we've gone for Bayern to win 2-1. Top odds for the match at the moment anyway. Heidenheim you can get for nine. A draw is six. These are all decimal odds. And Bayern Munich to win, like I said, 1.29. Let's see how that one ends up. But for a correct score of 2-1, or one Heidenheim to Munich, it's odds of 9.5. That's what you can get at 365 at the moment, like we said before. Sign up using the bonus card FP365 if you're not with them already. Moving on to Werder Bremen, who are 9th, taking on VFL Bochum for 17th. And this one's on Saturday, the 19th of April, 2.30 UK time. Click the link in the description of this podcast and you can see your localised kick-off times, odds and streaming options. This one, you can stream on Bet365 again to qualify for that. All you need is funds in your account or to have placed a bet with them in the last 24 hours. Use the bonus code FP365 when you sign up. So Werder Bremen have actually been having some great results. Well, they won four of the last five, whereas Boikum, it's like an opposite story, isn't it?

The Moose: 9:52

Yeah, Werder Bremen's had a good little spell there because they did have a sequence just come back after that Christmas break. Just one win from nine matches. But then they went to Leverkusen and beat them 2-0. So these are not any teams that Werder Bremen has beaten because they went to Leverkusen, beat them 2-0. They then beat Holstein Kiel away. They beat Frankfurt at home. And then they beat Stuttgart away. So that's two of the top three teams included in these four wins from five now for Werder Bremen. So they are looking to finish the season very strong. Now, can they make Europe? That's the big question. Possibly. They only have three points up to Freiburg in sixth, but there is a lot of teams in between. You've got Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, Augsburg, and then Werder Bremen down 42 points. That's.

Speaker2: 10:40

There's a lot of teams who could finish in that top six,

The Moose: 10:44

Which are European spots. Mine's only on 46 points. So the last five matches are going to be really interesting if Werder Bremen can keep this trajectory. And they have quite an interesting schedule as well. So of their last five matches, they're playing Bochum, St. Pauli and Heidenheim. So that's three of the bottom four teams in the Bundesliga. Two of them are at home. So Werder Bremen will definitely be looking at this schedule eyeing up some points, starting with, if we look at some of the predictions last weekend, at Stuttgart we had both teams to score prediction, then the 2-1 to Werder Bremen. On the Bochum side, they played Augsburg last week, and really it was last port-a-call in terms of them picking up some points to avoid relegation. They are still only four points off Heidenheim for the relegation playoff. That's where they finished last season and somehow managed to turn over a 3-0 deficit to Fortuny Dusseldorf in that playoff away from home and stay in the Bundesliga but this season it does look like it may not make it and we've now lost four Bundesliga games in a row after that sensational win at Bayern Munich where actually our main prediction was both teams to score so that went in. Bochum won that one 3-2 and we won't talk about the outcome prediction for that one. But yeah, five defeats from the last six now for Bukum, four defeats in a row, and they've conceded 12 goals along the way over those last four games. So that's three goals on average. So it's not looking good for Bukum at Red Up Raymond.

Peter Guest: 12:15

Yes, we think this could be a fairly one-sided affair, given what you've just said, and could be a bit of a goal fest. We'll see, but we've gone for an over 2.5 goals tip for this game. Odds, you can only get 1.57, but that's what we think is probably the best thing to go for. Could be closer than a lot of people think, but we have gone for a Virta-Brahman win. Odds up at 1.73, so there are odds on to win it with the bookies. And correct score? Well, we've gone for another 3-0 and very good odds on this one. 15, 14-1 for a 3-0 correct score prediction. Top odds for the game? You can get, like I said, Brayman at 1.73. A draw, 4.1. That might be something interesting. And a Bokum win, 4.33. So we're favouring the home side to get a fairly comprehensive victory let's hope it goes according to our plan next up we've got Freiburg in 6th taking on Hoffenheim in 14th it's on Saturday the 19th of April 2.30 UK time kick off click the link in the description of this podcast and it'll take you to footballpredictions.net where you can find your local kickoff time betting odds and broadcast streaming channels you can watch it on Bet365 of course use the bonus code FP365 if you're new to them and then after that all you need to qualify to watch is any funds in your account. It could be one pound, one euro, one dollar. Ought to have placed a bet with them in the last 24 hours, so you don't need much to be able to watch it on there. Moose, the old Freiburg train has actually registered a win after a long time without one.

The Moose: 13:40

Yeah, they had five matches in the Bundesliga without a win before last weekend, traveling to Borussia Mönchengladbach. It looked like a draw for a long time. It was 1-1 after 15, oh, 16 minutes. But then right at the end, in injury time, And Freiburg scored and won the game 2-1. But yeah, prior to that, no wins in five. Freiburg did at one point have a very impressive spell with six clean sheets in a row, But over the last four matches, they have conceded in all of them. But yeah, they do have a strong defense. Like in terms of our predictions, we do tend to have gone low scoring on Freiburg. And we have had a fair few of those draw predictions as well. We had them at Augsburg on a draw, at home to Leipzig on a draw. And then we've had a couple of outcomes over the last six matches on Freiburg. But yeah, please take note of the defense before I move on to Hoffenheim. And there might be a little clue for the prediction later. Hoffenheim is going into this game with a very mixed bag of results. They have two wins, two draws, and two defeats over the last six matches. But they do have quite an impressive win in the last game. That was at home to Mainz. They beat Mainz 2-0. And the thing is, Mainz really fighting for those Chairman's League spots It's probably the first time you'll ever finish in a Champions League position, but it seems like they're buckling a little bit under the pressure. There's only five matches left. They've still got a good chance. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, still kind of wanting to move away from that relegation playoff spot. They're now eight points ahead, five games to go. They look fairly safe, so not a lot of pressure on Hoffenheim in this game. But away from home, Hoffenheim also very mixed. They have three wins from the last six, but they do have two defeats from the last two and they lost 3-1 most recently away to Leipzig with both teams to score and Leipzig to win that game we also had Sam Pauli to beat Hoffenheim when they went there as our outcome prediction so yeah Hoffenheim away but very mixed bag don't know really who's going to turn up but has to also be said that of those three wins they have away from home all season two of them against the bottom two so not the strongest home side away side sorry yeah and.

Peter Guest: 15:59

Yeah these fixtures tend to kind of go one way and that's the way of freiburg most of the time They probably will turn the corner or keep the corner that they've turned, I think, being at home. They are very good there. In fact, they're unbeaten in the league by Hoffenheim in their last six matches. However, they haven't actually won at home in the last three league matches, have they, Freiburg? But yeah, we think they will get the win. But our tip for this one is actually under 2.5 goals. We think it'll be a tight one. And the odds there you can get currently at 2.1. A full-time result prediction, as I mentioned, is Freiburg to win. Odds are not that dissimilar to those. 1.91 you can get for a home win for Freiburg in this game. And for a correct score, do you think it's going to be just the one goal that wins it? 1-0 we've gone for. Odds for a correct score prediction there. Currently, the bookmakers are about 365, have the best odds for this at 8.5. That'll be your returns. Other odds, Hoffenheim are out at 3.75 for the win. A draw, 3.7. But like I said, Freiburg best priced at 1.91 at the moment. So let's see how that one pans out to our summary games. We've got Mainz in 5th, taking over Wolfsburg in 12th. Another one you can watch on Bet365. To qualify for that, all you need is funds in your account or to have placed a bet with them in the last 24 hours. Use the bonus code FP365 when you sign up. For this one, we think it could be a bit tighter than the positions on the table suggest. We've gone for a home win. We think it's going to be both teams to score. We've gone for a correct score prediction of Mainz 2,

The Moose: 17:24

Wolfsburg 1. Yeah, moving on to the late Saturday kickoff game. So, Saturday, 19th of April at half past five UK time, we've got Uni on Berlin in 13th, takes on Stuttgart in 11th. This is another game you can watch live on Bet365. And in order to qualify, all you need is to have a funded account or to place the bet in the last 24 hours. Use bonus code FP365 on sign-up. If you're based in the UK, it's also live on Sky Sports Football. Now, for this game, we are going to go with a narrow away win and a low-scoring game. We're going to go under two and a half goals. Stuttgart win and a correct score prediction of Union Berlin 0, Stuttgart 1.

Peter Guest: 18:03

Moving on to Sunday, we've got Augsburg in 10th taking on Frankfurt in 3rd. It's Sunday the 20th of April, 2.30pm UK time kickoff. You can stream it on Bet365 as well. This one's also on Sky Sports Football in the UK anyway. But yeah, if you want to watch on 365, all you need is funds in your account or to have placed a bet with them in the last 24 hours using the bonus code FP365. When you sign up, it should be a fascinating game, this one, because both teams have only really lost many games of late. But we've gone for something which we think they might cancel each other out. We've gone for both teams to score, as that's it, with a draw and the correct score prediction of 1-1.

Speaker2: 18:39

Moving on to Borussia Dortmund in 8th.

The Moose: 18:42

It takes on Borussia Mönchengladbach Instant. This game kicks off Sunday 20th of April at half past four UK time. Another game you can watch on Bet365.

This game is also live on Sky Sports Football if you're based in the UK. Now, for this game, we are going to go with a Dortmund win. But our main prediction is both teams to score, as our correct score prediction is, Borussia Dortmund.

Peter Guest: 19:12

Well said. The last one we've got is St. Pauli in 15th, taken on Bayer Leverkusen up in 2nd. It's on Sunday, the 20th of April, 6.30 UK time kickoff. And for this one, we have gone for another tight game. We think it'll be an away win. We've gone for both teams to score, as that's it.
