RB Leipzig v Bayern Munich

This is a dress rehearsal for the Cup Final later in May and whilst Leipzig are assured of third place, they could snatch second even though that is unlikely. Bayern need a win to guarantee the title, but Leipzig would almost certainly like to spoil that party. The two have met just twice in the league in Leipzig with a win apiece. Leipzig are far too big at 5.00 and a small stake, with a view to trading if they lead is he obvious call.

Hoffenheim v Werder Bremen

Only three points separate Hoffenheim in eighth from Frankfurt in fourth, with two games to play, however Hoffenheim will need to win both and hope plenty of other results go their way. This should be a comfortable home win as Bremen have not won in four although they did fight back to draw with Dortmund last week. Hoffenheim -1 on the handicap at 2.10 looks a fair shout.

Nurnberg v Borussia M’gladbach

Despite it looking like Nurnberg are relegated, they still have a small chance of overhauling Stuttgart to get to a relegation play-off, so they will not be switching off here. Gladbach have slipped up in recent games after looking certainties for Europe and they now have to win this and beat Dortmund. They have won the three recent head to heads but I cannot bet them odds on, away from home. Try Over 3.5 goals at 2.20 with a view to trading if we get early goals.

Frankfurt v Mainz

What a beating Frankfurt took last week at Leverkusen and it remains to be seen how that will affect their last two games. They are still in pole position and two wins will see them in fourth unless Leverkusen overhaul a vastly inferior goal difference. Mainz have lost their last seven away games so that should be straightforward followed by an away game at Bayern where a lot will depend on whether they have won the title already. If they have they could be in party mode given Frankfurt a great chance to go and win, on a ground where they have lost on their last nine league visits. One thing to cling to, if they do need to win is that that they did beat Bayern in last year’s cup final. I can see Frankfurt winning well, especially if they get an early goal so -1 on the handicap at 2.25 appeals most.
