Bundesliga Predictions: 3 Picks for Matchday 2 (August 25-27)

Ace Football presents exclusive betting tips for the Bundesliga games of the weekend.

As we prepare for the second Matchday of the Bundesliga season, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.

Let’s check out three betting tips for Matchday 2 of the new Bundesliga campaign.

Expect goals when Gladbach host Leverkusen

Leverkusen started the new season with an excellent home win over RB Leipzig. Xabi Alonso’s side showcased their brilliant attacking form but also conceded twice against the German Supercup winners. We expect a similar scenario to play out this weekend as Levekusen travels to Borussia Park.

After a 4-4 draw against Augsburg last week, Gladbach will have a good chance of finding the back of the net in their home stadium. But their defensive form suggests that Leverkusen will also score at least one goal on Saturday.

Back Union Berlin to beat Darmstadt

Union Berlin come into the game on the back of a 4-1 win over Mainz. As expected, the Berliners dominated the game, scoring twice in the first six minutes of the match.

We expect Union’s in-form attacking line to find enough chances against their newly-promoted rivals. On the other hand, Darmstadt’s performance against Eintracht Frankfurt doesn’t promise a lot of goalscoring chances from their side.

Goals likely on both sides when Leipzig meet Stuttgart

Leipzig’s sloppy defence against Leverkusen saw them suffer their first defeat of the new season at Bay Arena last week. On Friday, Die Roten Bullen will take on Stuttgart, who smashed Bochum 5-0 last week.

The hosts will most likely have the upper hand against their opponents. But we don’t expect Stuttgart to spend too much time in their own half either. Neither side has shown enough defensive stability to leave the upcoming fixture with a clean sheet.
