The finishing line is just 90 minutes away for soccer teams in Germany, and the final round of matches is set for this Saturday. Important battles to secure European places will be staged across the Bundesliga, and you can find our picks for all matches on matchday 34 here.
Bundesliga Picks
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg have failed to win in their last nine matches, marking their longest winless run since March 2024. Meanwhile, Gladbach have also gone six without a win.
Wolfsburg were dominant winners earlier in the season against their opponents, and we like their chances of achieving a first double over their rivals since 2009-10.

Freiburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
Freiburg and Frankfurt both sit in the Champions League spots, but the pressure will be on the hosts this weekend as a win will secure third spot.
However, Freiburg have won just one of their last ten meetings with Frankfurt. But, their recent form is worth chancing, as they have picked up 13 points across the last five matchdays.

Freiburg (+135)

Augsburg vs. Union Berlin
Augsburg have an excellent record against Union Berlin, as they have lost just one of the last eleven head-to-head clashes. Union have won just nine matches this season, while Augsburg have fallen to defeats in each of their previous three.
But, their historical dominance in this fixture means that a chance is taken on the hosts.

Pick
Augsburg (+107)

Borussia Dortmund vs. Holstein Kiel
Borussia Dortmund need to win by a three-goal margin to achieve a Champions League spot.
They come into this round after winning their last four, and they have picked up a league-high 19 points from their last seven matches. A home win looks like the standout selection on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund (-1350)

St. Pauli vs. Bochum
St. Pauli have failed to win in their last six competitive matches against Bochum. However, they will be aware that a point will be enough to guarantee survival.
That could be a likely outcome against a Bochum side that has already lost a club-record 21 matches this season.

Pick
The Draw (+328)

RB Leipzig vs. Stuttgart
Leipzig have missed out on a Champions League spot for the first time since 2017-18. They could yet finish outside of the top six for the first time in their history.
Stuttgart have been excellent throughout the season, and they could be the value play after winning their last three competitive matches against their opponents.

Pick
Stuttgart (+225)

Mainz vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Mainz have achieved their second-best season in Bundesliga history. However, they have suffered eleven defeats in their last 14 league matches against Leverkusen.
Despite that, confidence can be taken from the fact that Leverkusen have won once in their previous five. An entertaining draw could be played out on Saturday.

The Draw (+300)

Hoffenheim vs. Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich got their hands back on the Bundesliga crown last weekend, and they come into this round with the best-attacking record.
Contrastingly, Hoffenheim have the third-worst defensive record. Bayern Munich look like a strong chance to maintain their excellent form in 2024-25.

Pick
Bayern Munich (-210)

Heidenheim vs. Werder Bremen
Heidenheim have picked up just eleven points in home matches this season, but they come into this round after avoiding defeat in their last three.
Werder Bremen’s away record could be worth following, as only the top two teams in the standings have won more points on their travels.
