Bundesliga Matchday Predictions for 2026/27 – Matchday 7

Gladbach has lost all six of its games this season, conceding 20 goals in the process—more than any other team in the league. Even under coach Alexander Blessin, Borussia is still waiting for its first point. Stuttgart sits in 13th place with six points and most recently lost 0-1 in Hamburg. At home, however, VfB remains the clear favorite. Against the winless last-place team, the Swabians should therefore be able to secure a home win on Friday evening.

Tip: 1

After three decisive losses to start the season, HSV has bounced back. With wins over Cologne, Hoffenheim, and Stuttgart, the Hamburg team has earned nine points and put its slow start behind it. Paderborn, on the other hand, has picked up only five points in six games and most recently squandered a 2-0 lead in Bremen. For the in-form Hamburg team, it therefore looks like another victory is in store in East Westphalia.

Tip: 2

Leipzig has been at its best this season in its home arena. Three home games have yielded three wins with a goal differential of 14–0, while the team has yet to earn a single point on the road. Elversberg sits in sixth place with ten points and scored four goals in its most recent 4–3 win over Augsburg. As long as the hosts continue to defend so effectively at home, it will be difficult for the visitors from the Saarland to come away with anything at all.

Tip: 1

Augsburg has already scored 16 goals in six games, making it one of the league’s most potent offenses. However, Augsburg has also conceded 12 goals. Union has picked up four points in its last two games against Elversberg and Dortmund, remaining unbeaten in those two matches. On the road, however, the Berliners have suffered two heavy defeats so far: a 0-4 loss in Leverkusen and a 0-7 loss in Munich.

Tip: 1

Mainz has been unbeatable on the road so far, winning all three of its away games. At home, however, the team has only one point to show for its three matches. Bremen has gone five games in a row without a loss since its 1-4 opening-day defeat in Freiburg. Most recently, Niclas Füllkrug scored twice in the 2-2 draw against Paderborn. Both teams play a very attacking style of soccer; Mainz and Bremen have each scored 24 goals in their six games so far.

Tip: X

Cologne and Schalke are separated by just two points in the standings. The “Geißböcke” are undefeated at home so far this season and have earned seven points from three home games. On the road, however, Cologne has lost all three of its matches—in Stuttgart, Hamburg, and Frankfurt. Schalke has won only one game this season, a 3-1 victory at Union Berlin. Because the Rhinelanders have been significantly more consistent in front of their home crowd, we see them as having the advantage.

Tip: 1

With only four goals allowed, Dortmund has the best defense in the league. After six games, BVB remains undefeated. The offense also looks well-coordinated, as Niko Kovač’s team has already scored 11 goals. Frankfurt, on the other hand, has already conceded 16 goals and earned only four points in three away games. Offensively, however, Frankfurt has repeatedly demonstrated its quality. Even Frankfurt’s recent surge does little to change Borussia’s status as the favorite.

Tip: 1

Hoffenheim has scored at least once in all six games this season, but has also conceded 14 goals. That has been enough for only six points so far. Leverkusen has earned 13 points from six games and most recently defeated Freiburg, with Ibrahim Maza standing out as both a goal-scorer and an assist provider. On the road, however, the Werkself has managed only four points from three games so far. Nevertheless, their superior attacking quality points toward an away win.

Tip: 2

Bayern remains undefeated after six games and has scored 22 goals, the most in the league. On the road, however, the record champions have managed only one win and two draws. Freiburg, on the other hand, has won all three of its home games, conceding only two goals in the process. The Sport-Club trails Munich by just one point in the standings. That’s why we expect a top-tier matchup between two evenly matched teams that will end in a draw.

Tip: X
