Bundesliga Matchday 16 predictions

Two matches left before the winter break so let's get excited!

Friday night

Hannover 96 v. VfB Stuttgart

Prediction: 2-1

Will Jens Keller get a chance at the permanent job at VfB? Probably not, so it's all the more reason for the 96ers to roll.

Saturday

Hamburg v. Leverkusen

Prediction: 1-1

Two teams coming off disappointing efforts, but at least Leverkusen won. TBG will split the difference.

Kaiserslautern v. VfL Wolfsburg

Prediction: 2-1

The home team has been playing good football and tension between Dzeko and McClaren may be too much to overcome for the Wolves.

Koln v. Frankfurt

Prediction: 1-3

An ugly season for the Rhinelanders should get even uglier against one of the league's surprise packages.

Bayern Munich v. St. Pauli

Prediction: 4-1

Another disappointing away trip for Bayern, but they had a nice bounce back in the Champions League and should dominate St. Pauli.

Hoffenheim v. Nurnberg

Prediction: 2-0

Not much to see here. Hoffenheim simply must win.

Borussia Dortmund v. Werder Bremen

Prediction: 3-1

Sure, Bremen just thumped the defending European champions, as ridiculous as that sounds. The opposition at the Signal Iduna Park, though, are more formidable.

Sunday

Freiburg v. Borussia Monchengladbach

Prediction: 2-1

A vote of confidence for Frontzeck. He's living on borrowed time, however.

Mainz v. Schalke 04

Prediction: 3-0

Expect another letdown for Magath's men against a Mainz squad playing their final game at the Bruchweg before the break.
