Bundesliga 2025-26 So Far…
The Bundesliga standings are constantly bringing up active rivalries among teams. Especially, the Dortmund vs Bayern Munich rivalry is a legendary rivalry occurring this week. Dortmund is only 8 points behind Bayern Munich. But the Reds are having an intimidating scoring side, stacking 83 goals over 23 matches. So, the upcoming clash is pivotal for them.
Similarly, Hoffenheim, VfB Stuttgart, and RB Leipzig have a tough contest among them. All three of these teams have a minor point difference. A single win could keep them intact or dramatically change positions.
Lastly, Heidenheim and Werder are at the rock bottom, seeking a chance to save themselves from getting relegated. But the risk is equal to Wolfsburg and St. Pauli, either, as they have only a single-point difference.
As of now, only the top three teams seem to be active title contenders. Let’s look at the upcoming Matchday’s schedule details.

Bundesliga Predictions and Odds for Selected Matches
1. Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Predictions
Borussia Dortmund takes sides against Bayern Munich in the top-flight league, Bundesliga, on Matchday 24. Let’s see the preview and predictions in detail.
Expected Borussia Dortmund Lineup
Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel.
Defenders: Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini.
Midfielders: Felix Nmecha, Karim Adeyemi, Marcel Sabitzer.
Forwards: Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy, Fabio Silva.
Expected Bayern Munich Lineup
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.
Defenders: Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, Joshua Kimmich.
Midfielders: Konrad Laimer, Alphonso Davies, Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, Lennart Karl.
Forwards: Luis Diaz, Harry Kane.
Ahead of their clash against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich’s coach has expressed solid confidence in a press conference. “We have no concerns over the BVB game, and we treat every game equally without hierarchy,” said the coach. He also expressed indifference to the suspension rumours due to the yellow card and remained composed.
Technically, Bayern Munich has the strongest scoring side in the league with 3.6 goals per game on average. The Reds’ offense is their strongest asset, with notable players like Harry Kane, Lennart Karl, and Luis Dia. Collectively, this squad will score a substantial number of goals across both halves.
Borussia Dortmund is no less of a championship squad and is just a few pointsbehind Bayern Munich. They are also having a strong winning form, having won four out of their last five games. In terms of players, BVB has strong players who make an effort and essentially create chances for assists and goals. Their playmaking across the sides and wide stretching are their notable strengths.
Dortmund’s squad mostly consists of young and emerging players whose rapid development will also keep possession against Bayern Munich. But they will have fewer chances against the Reds, given the visitors’ strong comeback ability after every concession. Although Dortmund gets to play at home, they have fewer chances of containing Kompany’s men. So, Borussia Dortmund slightly lacks the needed potency in this Bundesliga clash.
The Pick: Bayern Munich.
2. Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Mainz Predictions
Bayer 04 Leverkusen clash against Mainz in the forthcoming Matchday 24 at the BayArena. The predictions for this game are out below.
Expected Bayer 04 Leverkusen Lineup
Goalkeeper: Janis Blaswich.
Defenders: Lucas Vázquez, Alejandro Grimaldo, Jarell Quansah, Edmond Tapsoba.
Midfielders: Robert Andrich, Aleix García, Exequiel Palacios, Arthur, Ibrahim Maza.
Forwards: Patrik Schick.
Expected Mainz Lineup
Goalkeeper: Daniel Batz.
Defenders: Stefan Posch, Anthony Caci, Danny da Costa, Silvan Widmer.
Midfielders: Dominik Kohr, Kaishu Sano, Lee Jae-sung, Nadiem Amiri.
Forwards: Phillip Tietz, Fabio Moreno Fell.
Leverkusen gets to host this Bundesliga clash with a strong momentum favoring their side. They have absolute dominance in home matches on most occasions. Alongside, the hosts are also having European exposure in tandem. So, this is an added guarantee to the club’s winning probability.
Regarding their current form, they have a 6th position in the league standings and a UCL Play-offs qualifier. With an average of 1.7 goals per game, Leverkusen’s offense is better in comparison. Their defense is also keeping up with their scoring, conceding sparingly. In particular, their last three games have shown their scoring efficiency.
Mainz’s Form
Mainz comes from a recent draw after losing a game to Dortmund. This highlights their struggle against elite teams, where they often feel completely helpless. With a 5-7-11 record, Mainz stays on the lower end of the table. Facing Leverkusen on the road, Mainz obviously has some difficulties restricting the hosts.
Mainz is in a risky phase as they have to win enough games to escape a possible relegation. They have a reasonable offensive output that is not as elite as Leverkusen’s. But Mainz have a good sense of ball control and aggression. However, Leverkusen could exploit their negative goal differential as a vulnerable spot. So, the odds are against Mainz.
The Pick: Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
3. Hoffenheim vs St. Pauli Predictions
Christian Ilzer’s Hoffenheim will welcome St. Pauli at PreZero Arena. This Bundesliga clash is set to occur on 28 February 2026.
Expected Hoffenheim Lineup
Goalkeeper: Oliver Baumann.
Defenders: Ozan Kabak, Bernardo, Vladimír Coufal, Valentin Gendrey.
Midfielders: Bazoumana Touré, Wouter Burger, Muhammed Damar.
Forwards: Fisnik Asllani, Andrej Kramaric, Tim Lemperle.
Expected St. Pauli Lineup
Goalkeeper: Nikola Vasilj.
Defenders: Karol Mets, Hauke Wahl, Tomoya Ando, Adam Dzwigala, David Nemeth.
Midfielders: Jackson Irvine, Eric Smith, Arkadiusz Pyrka.
Forwards: Danel Sinani, Martijn Kaars.
Hoffenheim has a strong league record, making them fearless in their next match against St. Pauli. Their recent games have reflected their improvement, having won four of their last six games. However, St. Pauli has a slight advantage in head-to-head matches. But still, Hoffenheim’s current form prevails.
Another important factor that favors them is their offensive record. They have scored around 49 goals over 23 games, an impressive scoring average for a team. Besides, they also handle progression and attacks efficiently.
St. Pauli stands in 17th position, carrying the relegation risk with merely 20 points. Although they are safe as of now, their points are borderline, which could ultimately impact their standings.
Unlike Hoffenheim, St. Pauli had a rough week where most of their efforts went to waste. Their on-the-road struggles are the most pressing ones, reducing their chances against Hoffenheim. In contrast to Hoffenheim, St. Pauli’s current form is far worse and is nowhere near perfection. So, their chances are considerably low in this Bundesliga clash.
The Pick: Hoffenheim.
