Another productive week puts us at 9-3 with our Bundesliga picks on the year. We ended up losing with Wolfsburg at -105 but still cashed with the FC Koln-RB Leipzig over and cashed a +148 dog with the Freiburg-Leverkusen under.
Now it’s time to shift our attention to Round 30 as we look at the action that will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Here are our favorite three picks of the week:

Freiburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach
Odds: Freiburg +340, Draw +300, Monchengladbach -135
We’ve been tracking Freiburg pretty closely since the return to action and they haven’t looked good so far. They lost to Werder Bremen, who is one of the worst teams in the Bundesliga, and then tied Eintracht Frankfurt, who was 14th at the time. After that, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Leverkusen last week.
This week, Freiburg is hosting Monchengladbach, who is currently fourth in the standings table. They’ve looked very crisp in their return to action. They did have a surprising 0-0 draw against Werder but outside of that have won their other three matches by a combined score of 10-3.
FanDuel Sportsbook has a prop up on the board where you can get Monchengladbach and over 2.5 in this game at +180. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of these odds boosts but this is one where I like both bets anyways. That being the case, I’ll play this little parlay.
Pick: Monchengladback & Over 2.5 at +180 at FanDuel Sportsbook
RB Leipzig vs Paderborn
Odds: RB Leipzig -800, Draw +700, Paderborn +1500
We’re looking at one of the biggest favorites of the season as RB Leipzig is laying a whopping -800 on the three-way line. That’s because Paderborn is the worst team in the Bundesliga, according to the standings. However, they didn’t really look that bad upon the return to action. They drew with Hoffenheim and the Augsburg and were 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund at the half in their last game. However, everything changed in the second half when Dortmund scoring a whopping six times. That includes three goals in the 85th minute or later.
Paderborn is just awful and while they were able to put up a fight against weaker opponents and catch Dortmund sleeping for a bit, they’re bound to get pummeled any time their opponent is fully trying.
Paderborn has given up just one first-half goal in their first three games since returning, so I wouldn’t be opposed to betting the first-half draw at +230. However, my bet for this game is RB Leipzig -2 +105. Their last three games have been a 4-2 win, a 2-2 draw and a 5-0 win. I’m expecting another big win here.
Pick: RB Leipzig -2 +105 at FanDuel Sportsbook
Werder Breme vs Wolfsburg
Odds: Werder Bremen +280, Draw +240, Wolfsburg +100
Werder is 17th out of 18 teams in the standings table, so on one hand, they don’t look like they’re a very good team. In truth, they are not. However, they have played relatively well defensively and we’re going to rely on that for our bet in this spot. Although they lost 3-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, they had allowed no goals in their three previous games.
In this spot, they’re going to be taking on a Wolfsburg team whose offense has not been reliable of late. They did score four goals in a win over Leverkusen but were also shut out by Dortmund and scored just one goal against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Werder has scored just nine goals at home this season – the fewest in the Bundesliga so that in combination with their recent defensive play should lead us to an under.
Pick: Under 2.5 -110 at FanDuel Sportsbook
