Bundesliga Matchday 24 predictions

Friday night

VfL Wolfsburg v. Mönchengladbach

Prediction: 1-2

The Wolves are putting a lot of focus on this six-pointer. But veterans like Hanke and the coaching of Favre give the Foals a fighting chance.

Saturday

1. FC Kaiserslautern v. Hamburger SV

Prediction: 2-1

This should be a classic letdown for HSV after an emotional week of derbies against a relegation-threatened FCK.

1. FC Koln v. SC Freiburg

Prediction: 2-2

These teams play some wide-open football so expect plenty of goals, but perhaps not a winner.

FC Schalke 04 v. 1. FC Nürnberg

Prediction: 2-1

Granted Der Klub are red-hot. But it's still hard to see the Royals Blues tripping up in this spot.

FC St. Pauli v. Hannover 96

Prediction: 0-2

St. Pauli have no defenders apparently so this is a good opportunity for three points for Hannover.

1899 Hoffenheim v. FSV Mainz 05

Prediction: 2-1

Remember when Mainz were the darlings of German football? Remember when Hoffenheim were as well?

Bayern München v. Borussia Dortmund

Prediction: 1-1

Bayern president Uli Hoeness has guaranteed a two-goal victory for his side. Weidenfuller is a game-time decision for Dortmund, who have every incentive to shut Hoeness and the Bavarians up.

Sunday

Eintracht Frankfurt v. VfB Stuttgart

Prediction: 0-0

There may not be a worse matchup on the continent than this one. These teams are awful.

Werder Bremen v. Bayer Leverkusen

Prediction: 1-3

Expect a clinical effort from Leverkusen against a wounded Bremen.
