Bet 1: Borussia Dortmund to Win to Nil vs Werder Bremen
Borussia Dortmund’s 3–3 draw in Frankfurt was a solid if unspectacular start to the New Year. Now, the Black and Yellows have two home games in a row against Bremen and St Pauli, with a clear objective – to cement second place in the Bundesliga table.
Three points against Werder are firmly on the cards, and our Dortmund vs Bremen prediction points towards a home win without conceding.
Dortmund's Impressive Numbers
– Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel has kept a clean sheet in 50% of league matches this season.
– Eight of Dortmund’s nine league wins came without conceding.
– Dortmund have kept five clean sheets in seven home games, a rate of 71%.
– With just four goals conceded, Dortmund boast the best home defence in the league.
Bremen’s blunt attack is likely to struggle against Dortmund’s defensive wall. The Green-Whites are still without a striker’s goal this season and failed to score in their final two matches before the winter break against Augsburg and Stuttgart.
Werder’s form is poor overall. They are winless in five matches, sit bottom of the form table, and have not won away in six games. Against top-eight sides, Bremen are still without a victory this season.
Bet 2: Both Teams to Score in HSV vs Leverkusen
Struggling Bayer Leverkusen arrive in Hamburg under pressure after enduring three defeats from five games, capped by a heavy 4–1 home loss to Stuttgart. HSV are also in need of a response after losing 2–1 in Freiburg and going three matches without a win.
The outright market feels too risky for an acca, especially given HSV’s home strength. Fourteen of their sixteen points have been collected at home. Far better value at a fair price lies with both teams to score.
Key Stats
– Both teams have scored in each of Hamburg’s last five league matches.
– BTTS has landed in all of HSV’s last four home games.
– Leverkusen have a BTTS hit rate of 63% this season, including the last two matches.
Bet 3: Mainz to Beat Heidenheim
This one is a pure relegation battle as bottom club Mainz host second-bottom Heidenheim. Both sides opened the year with a draw. For Mainz, the 2–2 at Union Berlin was already their third consecutive draw, extending their unbeaten run under new coach Urs Fischer.
But draws are no longer enough, especially at home. And if Mainz are to secure their first home win of the season, this is the moment.
We expect the more stable hosts to finally celebrate a home victory on their ninth attempt, especially with Heidenheim struggling badly on the road.
Heidenheim’s Away Problems
– Heidenheim have lost six of seven away matches, winning just once.
– They are the second-worst away side in the league.
– Heidenheim are the only Bundesliga team yet to keep a clean sheet, conceding in every match.
The Kickform prediction tool backs our Mainz vs Heidenheim pick, assigning a 64% probability to a home win. That is significantly higher than the bookmakers, who rate Mainz’s chances at just 57%.
