Bayern v Borussia Monchengladbach predictions (5.30pm)

My game of the day pits in-form Bayern Munich against out of sorts Monchengladbach, as the league leaders look to extend a 12 game winning run.

Despite an early challenge on the top four Gladbach have faltered of late picking up just 4 points from their last three games.

Bayern look invincible at present beating 2^nd placed Dortmund 1-0 and Leverkusen 4-2 away from home. Flick’s free-scoring team have averaged 3.2 goals per game at the Allianz Arena this season.

The Bundesliga is known for goals; Bayern have scored the most from Europe’s elite averaging 3 goals per game while Borussia sit 11^th averaging 1.9. The previous six encounters between both teams averaged a whopping 4.5 goals.

A Bayern win and over 2.5 goals is decent value with Bet365.

Bundesliga Prediction: Bayern win & over 2.5 goals @ 1.72 (8/11)

Hertha Berlin v Eintracht Frankfurt predictions (2.30pm)

Hertha Berlin sit 3 points above mid-table rivals Frankfurt and with both teams hitting inconsistent form I anticipate a tight affair.

The Berlin club have scored 6 in their last two home games and conceded 10 in three against better opposition so I expect them to concede against a resilient Eintracht side.

Frankfurt have scored in every away game since May including two against Bayern and three vs relegation threatened Werder Bremen.

Since the season resumed Frankfurt have averaged 2 goals per game away from home, while Hertha scored an impressive 3 in Berlin, so I am backing both teams to score.

Bundesliga prediction: Hertha Berlin v Eintracht Frankfurt BTTS @ 1.53 (8/15)

Very low odds but the aim is to double your money so combined odds of 2.64 (13/8) with Bet365 is value in my opinion.

Bundesliga weekend double

• Bayern to win & O2.5 goals
• BTTS Hertha v Frankfurt
• Odds: 2.64 (13/8) with Bet365
