FC Augsburg v FSV Mainz

Friday, September 20 – 8:30pm CEST – WWK Arena
Augsburg will be looking to secure a second consecutive win over Mainz, who are winless after three games.

Given that Augsburg have won six of their last seven home games against the Nullfunfers, expect the hosts to grind out three crucial points.

FC Heidenheim v SC Freiburg

Saturday, September 21 – 3:30pm CEST – Voith-Arena
Level on six points from their first three games, Heidenheim and Freiburg should have a hotly contested affair at the Voith-Arena.

Unbeaten last season against Freiburg, back the hosts to secure maximum points.

Union Berlin v TSG Hoffenheim

Saturday, September 21 – 3:30pm CEST – Stadion An der Alten Forsterei
Union Berlin sit ninth on the table with five points, while Hoffenheim are two places above the danger zone with three points.

Andrej Kramaric leads the race for the Golden Boot with four goals from three games, and online bookmakers are paying +260 for the Hoffenheim forward to score any time against Berlin with the leading sports betting sites.

VfL Bochum v Holstein Kiel

Saturday, September 21 – 3:30pm CEST – Vonovia Ruhrstadion
Condemned to the relegation zone after losing their first three games, both Bochum and Holstein Kiel will be eager to collect their first wins of the season.

However, with two consecutive home wins against Holstein Kiel, hosts Bochum could secure all three points this weekend.

Werder Bremen v Bayern Munich

Saturday, September 21 – 3:30pm CEST – Weser Stadium
League leaders Bayern Munich will be confident of extending their perfect Bundesliga start with a win over Werder Bremen, who sit in eighth.

Harry Kane scored four goals in their midweek Champions League match against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, and leading soccer betting sites are paying +260 for the England captain to score first against Bremen.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Monchengladbach

Saturday, September 21 – 6:30pm CEST – Deutsche Bank Park
Sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping to secure a third consecutive win against Borussia Monchengladbach, who have thus far lost two of their first three games.

Triumphant at home last season, Frankfurt have a good chance of securing maximum points this weekend.

Bayer Leverkusen v VfL Wolfsburg

Sunday, September 22 – 3:30pm CEST – BayArena
Bayer Leverkusen have two wins from three games, while Wolfsburg have thus far lost two matches.

Expect the champions — who did the double on Wolfsburg in the last term — to cruise to victory.

VfB Stuttgart v Borussia Dortmund

Sunday, September 22 – 5:30pm CEST – MHP Arena
Tenth-placed VfB Stuttgart will be hoping to extend their impressive run against Borussia Dortmund, who are second on the table.

Expect the hosts to secure all three points against BVB, whom they beat home and away last season.

St. Pauli v RB Leipzig

Sunday, September 22 – 7:30pm CEST – Millerntor-Stadion
Unbeaten this season, third-placed RB Leipzig will be eager to secure all three points against winless St. Pauli, who are second from bottom.

With two goals in his first three league games, back Leipzig’s Lois Openda to score any time at -105.26 with Bovada.
