The 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign kicked off this past Friday with Matchday 2 coming up later this weekend. We bring you the best weekly Bundesliga betting tips for all the games, but let us first take a look at the standings after Round 1.
At the moment, it is Stuttgart who is sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga table after notching the biggest win of Matchday 1. Bayern München, Union Berlin, Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are the other teams occupying the top-6 spots with each team getting a clean sheet along with the victory in their opening game of the season. Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen also came out on top in their respective fixtures while Augsburg and Borussia M’gladbach played out an entertaining draw.
All remaining 8 teams were forced to start their Bundesliga campaign with a defeat, including the two freshly promoted sides, Darmstadt and Heidenheim. Werder Bremen and Mainz lie in the bottom 3 after suffering heavy defeats although the standings at this stage of the season do not really hold much meaning. Nevertheless, alarm bells will already be ringing for Bochum who lie in last place after getting hammered by a team that was battling relegation alongside it last season.

RB Leipzig v VfB Stuttgart 1893
Date: August 25th 2023
Venue: Red Bull Arena, Leipzig
Time: 19:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Leipzig: 1.50
Draw: 4.50
Stuttgart: 6.00
For the 3rd season running, Leipzig was unable to make a winning start to its Bundesliga campaign after going down 3-2 at Bayer Leverkusen in its opening fixture. This result puts Leipzig in 13th position in the league table at the end of Matchday 1.
In contrast, Stuttgart had the biggest win of the opening week with a 5-0 demolition job over Bochum on Saturday afternoon. With a young and talented squad, Stuttgart has been on an upward trajectory ever since Sebastian Hoeneß arrived as the manager.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Match Result: Leipzig at 1.50
Leipzig had a fairly topsy-turvy campaign in 2022/23, especially during the early stages, but it still finished with the 2nd best home record. Moreover, it enjoys an outstanding record against Stuttgart, having won all its previous 5 meetings at Red Bull Arena.
On the other hand, Stuttgart struggled badly on the road last season and had failed to get an away win until mid-April. It then managed to collect 7 points from its final 4 away fixtures, but all those matches were against teams in the lower end of the table.
Leipzig Total Goals: Over 1.5 at 1.50
Last season Leipzig was the 3rd highest scoring team in the Bundesliga although it trailed the top 2 teams by a fairly long margin. Nevertheless, its record at home was still quite impressive as it averaged above 2 goals per game at Red Bull Arena.
Stuttgart had a good defensive record last season in comparison to the other teams that were battling against relegation. But in truth, it suffered major problems at the back on the road as it conceded 2 or more goals in 13 of its 17 away games.

SC Freiburg v SV Werder Bremen
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg
Time: 14:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Freiburg: 1.68
Draw: 4.00
Bremen: 5.00
Freiburg delivered a typically gritty performance to get a 1-2 victory at Hoffenheim on Saturday. Considering its excellent home-form over the past couple of years, Freiburg now has a great chance of starting the 2023/24 campaign with back-to-back wins.
Werder Bremen began the new season in the same fashion it ended the last, after losing 0-4 at home to Bayern on opening night. Bremen fared better on the road last year so it may carry some hope in this clash but the signs are ominous for the rest of the season.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Match Result: Freiburg at 1.68
Europa-Park Stadion has gradually turned into a fortress for Freiburg and it only suffered 3 home defeats last season with each of those losses coming against the top 3 teams. In all, Freiburg notched 10 wins from its 17 matches on home-turf in 2022/23.
Werder Bremen had a good start to the previous campaign before its form dropped off sharply towards the latter half of the season. Following its loss on Matchday 1, Bremen has only gathered 2 wins from its last 16 league matches including 11 defeats.
Leipzig Total Goals: Over 1.5 at 1.66
While it is renowned for defensive organisation, Freiburg has also become a respectable attacking side on home turf. Last season, Freiburg failed to open its tally in just 3 home games, while it also scored 2 or more goals in more than half of those matches.
On its return to the top flight in 2022/23, Werder Bremen finished with the 4th worst defensive record with an average of over 2 goals conceded per away game. On top of this, Bremen has also let in at least 2 goals in 10 of its previous 12 fixtures on the road.

1.FC Köln v VfL Wolfsburg
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: RheinEnergieStadion, Köln
Time: 14:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Köln: 2.28
Draw: 3.60
Wolfsburg: 3.00
Köln gave a pretty resilient performance but eventually came up just short of getting its first point after losing 1-0 at Dortmund following a late goal. This could develop into a really challenging season for Köln with some key players no longer being at the club.
Wolfsburg completed a routine 2-0 win over newcomers Heidenheim which has asserted the optimism around the team during the offseason. The club brought in a number of promising young players that could propel them further up the table.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Double Chance: Wolfsburg at 1.60
Köln looks a much weaker team than last season with some important players leaving the club along with club captain Jonas Hector retiring from the game. Moreover, Köln has only earned 1 win and tasted 4 defeats in its previous 8 home games.
On the other hand, Wolfsburg has been very active in this transfer window and manager Niko Kovac now has the 2nd youngest squad in the squad at his disposal. Wolfsburg is also unbeaten on its last 3 trips to RheinEnergieStadion which includes 2 victories.
Köln Total Goals: Under 1.5 at 1.75
Köln averaged less than 2 goals per at home last season and it still does not have a natural goal scorer in its ranks. Its inability to score goals regularly became a major issue last season as it has failed to open its account in 6 of the previous 9 home games.
Meanwhile Wolfsburg finished the 2022/23 campaign with 3rd best defensive record on the road with a very impressive average of less than 1.5 goals conceded per away game. In total, it earned 12 clean sheets last season, of which half were earned on the road.

VfL Bochum 1848 v BVB 09 Borussia Dortmund
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: Vonovia Ruhrstadion, Bochum
Time: 14:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Bochum: 6.66
Draw: 5.50
Dortmund: 1.38
Bochum were ripped apart in a 5-0 hammering by Stuttgart on Matchday 1 which could well be a portent of what this season holds in the future. Bochum survived the previous season after a late surge towards the end but it will be hard to repeat it again this time.
Borussia Dortmund had to toil hard before scoring a late goal in a 1-0 win over Köln on the opening week. Dortmund should return home with full points from this short trip but its away form was the main reason why it could not clinch the title last season.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Which Team To Score: Both Teams at 1.50
Borussia Dortmund was the 2nd highest scoring team on the road in the last campaign and it netted at least 2 goals in 11 of the 17 away matches. But despite earning 5 clean sheets on the road, it still conceded more than 1 goal in nearly half those games.
Bochum scored the 2nd fewest goals in the Bundesliga last season but it still averaged more than 1.5 goals per game at the Ruhrstadion. It failed to score in just 4 home games while it netted 2 or more goals on 8 occasions during the 2022/23 campaign.
1st Half Total Goals: Over 1.5 at 1.90
Bochum scored 14 goals during the 1st half of its 17 league games at the Ruhrstadion last season while it conceded 13 times at the other end. In all, more than half of those matches contained more than a goal in the opening period.
Borussia Dortmund managed to score 12 times in the 1st half of its 17 league matches on the road last season while it conceded 15 goals to the opposition. This meant that nearly half of its away games saw at least 2 goals being scored in the 1st half.

1.FC Heidenheim 1846 v TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: Voith-Arena, Heidenheim
Time: 14:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Heidenheim: 3.00
Draw: 3.60
Hoffenheim: 2.28
Heidenheim made its Bundesliga debut this past Saturday which resulted in a 2-0 defeat at Wolfsburg after conceding a couple of early goals. Despite the defeat, the experience of the occasion should help in preparing for its first home-game in the top-flight.
Hoffenheim had a near calamitous campaign in 2022/23 and the current one did not begin on a positive note after losing 1-2 at home against Freiburg. So, failing to win this clash over a newly promoted side will add to the pressure on this underachieving team.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Double Chance: Heidenheim or Draw at 1.60
While Heidenheim earned some vital wins on the road, the foundation of its successful promotion bid lay on its excellent form at Voith-Arena. It finished with the best home-record in 2.Bundesliga last season with 12 wins and only 1 defeat in the 17 matches.
Hoffenheim finished with a decent away record last season but that is largely due to its better form in the early part of the campaign. In reality, Hoffenheim has only earned 1 win from the last 12 away fixtures which also includes 8 defeats.
Win Either Half: Heidenheim at 1.90
During its promotion campaign, Heidenheim ended with the 2nd best defensive record in 2.Bundesliga while it was 3rd highest in terms of goals scored. It averaged over 2.5 goals per game at Voith-Arena while also averaging less than a goal conceded on home turf.
Despite having a terrible season, Hoffenheim still held a good defensive record on the road with under 2 goals conceded per game. However, it had a lot of trouble scoring goals last season and it barely averaged a goal per game away from home.

SV Darmstadt 98 v 1.FC Union Berlin
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: Merck-Stadion, Darmstadt
Time: 14:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Darmstadt: 4.50
Draw: 3.50
Union: 1.95
Darmstadt gave a pretty good account of itself despite going down to a 1-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday afternoon. The club has made a number of acquisitions to bolster the squad and it might take a little more to reap the rewards on the pitch.
Union Berlin was able to get its Bundesliga campaign off to a solid start with a dominant display in the 4-1 home win over Mainz on Matchday 1. Union has faced Darmstadt a few times in the past but it will be the first meeting between the pair in the top flight.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Double Chance: Darmstadt or Draw at 1.77
For Darmstadt, home form was a crucial factor in its promotion and it will play an important role in its survival bid again this season. Darmstadt had 12 wins and only 1 loss at Merck-Stadion which includes 6 victories in its last 8 outings on home turf.
Despite taking 4th place, Union Berlin only had the 7th best away record after 4 losses in the last 6 games at the end of the season. Moreover, Union has a terrible record at Merck-Stadion having lost all of its previous 3 matches on the road against Darmstadt.
Total Goals: Under 2.5 at 1.78
Darmstadt had the best defensive record in 2.Bundesliga last season with an average of less than 1 goal conceded per match. It finished the campaign with 7 clean sheets at Merck-Stadion and conceded more than 1 goal in just 2 home games.
Union Berlin ended the 2022/23 campaign with the joint best defensive record in the Bundesliga keeping 13 clean sheets but it is not a free scoring team. It averaged well below 1.5 goals per game on the road after failing to open its tally in 5 away games.

Borussia VfL Mönchengladbach v Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Date: August 26th 2023
Venue: Borussia-Park, Mönchengaldbach
Time: 17:30 UTC
Sportaza Football Betting Odds
M’gladbach: 3.50
Draw: 4.00
Leverkusen: 1.95
Borussia M’gladbach required a last gasp stoppage-time goal to get a point in the bizarre 4-4 draw at Augsburg despite having a comfortable lead in the 1st half. It now gears for a big Westphalia derby as new manager Gerardo Seoane welcomes his former team.
After an eventful offseason, Bayer Leverkusen kicked off its campaign with a confidence boosting 3-2 home win over one of its major top-4 rivals RB Leipzig. With a talented squad and a promising young manager, the expectations are quite high at the moment.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Match Result: Bayer Leverkusen at 1.77
Despite having a good squad, Borussia M’gladbach is a very mercurial side which is why the bookies are quite sceptical about this team. M’gladbach did not build any sort of consistency despite somehow finishing with the 6th best home record last season.
With momentum clearly in its favour, Bayer Leverkusen is cast as the big favourite to win this derby despite being the visiting team. But it is also because Leverkusen has come out on top in each of the past 5 visits to Borussia-Park across all competitions.
Total Goals: Under 2.5 at 1.78
Borussia M’gladbach has scored 13 times over the course of the last 9 league matches on home soil, out of which 8 were scored during the 2nd half. M’gladbach also conceded 8 times during the same period, with 5 of those goals being conceded in the latter period.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen scored 22 times on the road last season and 15 of those arrived during the 2nd half. On top of that, 15 of the 26 goals that Leverkusen conceded away from home were also scored during the last 45 minutes.

Time: 14:30 UTC

Mainz: 2.50
Draw: 3.60
Frankfurt: 2.66
Mainz ended Matchday 1 of the new season in the bottom-3 of the Bundesliga table after losing 4-1 at Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon. Confidence is low at the club following this sluggish start as Mainz had a very disappointing end to the 2022/23 campaign.
Eintracht Frankfurt secured a 1-0 home win over newcomers Darmstadt although it was slightly fortunate to pick up all the points on offer. Nevertheless, it still gives a winning start to its inexperienced new manager Dino Topmöller
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Draw No Bet: Mainz at 1.83
In spite of having a shaky start to its home campaign in 2022/23, Mainz still lost just 5 times at Mewa Arena including the last 2 home games of the season. Prior to that, Mainz had a 7 match unbeaten run at Mewa Arena which contained 7 victories.
For Eintracht Frankfurt, there was a large disparity between its home and away form last season. Frankfurt has failed to win any of its previous 12 league matches on the road with half of those games resulting in defeats.
Total Goals: Over 2.5 at 1.66
After a slow start, Mainz developed a very good scoring record at home. It has opened its tally in each of the previous 9 league games at Mewa Arena, while scoring 2 or more goals on 6 occasions. However, it only earned 2 clean sheets during this time.
Despite its mediocre away form, Frankfurt still remained a potent attacking force on the road. Eintracht only failed to score in just 3 away games but it finished the 2022/23 campaign without picking up a single clean sheet on the road.

Sportaza Football Betting Odds
Bayern: 2.50
Draw: 3.60
Augsburg: 2.66
Bayern München racked up a 0-4 victory at Bremen on opening night of the 2023/24 season but it was a much more difficult game than what the score-line suggests. The champions are now set to kick off its home campaign with a Bavarian derby.
Augsburg had a miserable climax to the previous season as it avoided relegation by just a handful of points. However, coming from two goals down to take the lead in the 4-4 draw with M’gladbach can be a starting point towards rebuilding its confidence.
Eagle Bet Featured Betting Tips
Bayern To Win Both Halves: Yes at 1.66
Despite winning the Bundeliga title last season, Bayern could only manage the 4th best home record in the division. Nevertheless, it still finished the season with 11 wins and only 1 defeat in its 17 league matches at Allianz Arena.
Augsburg had an uncharacteristically good start on the road last season but it has all gone south after that. Augsburg has not picked up a single away win since then with its record standing at 10 defeats in its previous 13 Bundesliga games on the road.
Total Goals: Over 3.5 at 1.52
Bayern München unsurprisingly ended the 2022/23 campaign as the top scorers in the division with an average of over 3 goals per game at Allianz Arena. In fact, Bayern got 3 or more goals in 10 of its 17 home games last season.
On the other hand, Augsburg had the 3rd worst defensive record on the road in the Bundesliga season 2022/23 with just 3 clean sheets away from home. But in spite of this, Augsburg had the 4th best scoring rate on the road, with 2 or more goals in 13 of its 17 away games last season.
