Bundesliga Matchday Predictions 2026/27 – Matchday 8

Elversberg suffered its worst loss of the season in a 0-4 defeat in Leipzig and has now conceded a total of 15 goals. At home, however, their record is significantly better, with two wins in three games. Mainz has won all three of its away games this season, scoring ten goals while conceding only three, whereas at home it has earned just one point in four games. Since the visitors from Mainz are currently in better form, the odds are in their favor for Friday night’s match.

Tip: 2

Augsburg is still undefeated at home, but has managed only one win and three draws in four home games. The most recent 1-1 draw against Union was a turbulent affair, as both teams received a red card. On offense, only Bayern and Leipzig have scored more goals (25 and 20, respectively) than FCA, which has 17. Freiburg has lost two straight games—one to Leverkusen and one to Bayern—but remains in third place with 13 points. Since Freiburg has won only once on the road, a draw seems likely.

Tip: X

With just four goals, Schalke has the league’s least potent offense and has failed to score in all three of its home games. On the other hand, its defense has been solid, conceding only seven goals, making it the third-best in the league. Leipzig has won all four of its home games without conceding a goal, but has come away empty-handed in three of its away games and has seen the ball hit the back of its own net 11 times. In Gelsenkirchen, therefore, one of these two losing streaks must come to an end.

Tip: 2

Leverkusen lost 0-3 at Hoffenheim, with all the goals they conceded coming in the final 15 minutes. At the BayArena, however, the Werkself has been flawless, winning three straight games while conceding just one goal. Stuttgart, on the other hand, has lost five of its seven Bundesliga matches and most recently fell to Gladbach 2–3. On the road, VfB has managed just one win in four games, so the hosts clearly have the upper hand in Leverkusen.

Tip: 1

Gladbach celebrated its first win of the season with a 3-2 victory in Stuttgart after six straight losses to start the season. At home, Borussia has yet to earn a point, even though it has already scored seven goals there. Paderborn defeated HSV 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Rayan Philippe. On the road, however, the team is still waiting for its first win and has managed only two draws in three away games. After their breakthrough win in Stuttgart, Gladbach holds a slight advantage.

Tip: 1

Werder has yet to suffer a loss at the Weserstadion this season, scoring eight goals in three home games. Hoffenheim has scored at least once in all seven of its Bundesliga games, though it has also conceded 14 goals. On the road, TSG has won only one of its three games so far. Since both teams are evenly matched offensively—with 15 and 14 goals, respectively—Bremen’s stronger home form tips the scales in their favor.

Tip: 1

With 25 goals, Bayern boasts the league’s best offense and has scored 18 goals in just three home games while conceding only two. Although Dortmund has scored only twelve goals, it has conceded just four in seven games and remains undefeated on the road with two wins and one draw. In this clash between the best offense and the best defense, neither side will give the other much of an advantage. In the battle for the top of the standings, a draw is therefore the most likely outcome.

Tip: X

Union has been undefeated for three games and has earned five points with a win against Elversberg and two draws against Dortmund and Augsburg. However, the “Eisernen” have already conceded 18 goals—only Gladbach has conceded more. Cologne previously played to a 0–0 draw against Schalke, coming up short on several occasions against goalkeeper Karius. On the road this season, the FC has lost all three games and scored only twice. A home win for Berlin seems the most likely outcome here.

Tip: 1

HSV has scored only six goals in seven games and failed to score in four of them. On the road, the team has won just one of four games, with a goal differential of 3-10. Frankfurt has scored significantly more often, with ten goals, but has also conceded 17 goals. Eintracht’s home record stands at one win, one draw, and one loss. Thanks to its greater scoring threat and home-field advantage, Frankfurt enters this matchup as the favorite.

Tip: 1
