Bundesliga 15th matchday betting tips & odds
Bundesliga 15th matchday betting tips: Champions League round of 16 among themselves
Schalke’s record hunt – part 31
With an impressive yield of seven correct tips from nine games, we reported back from the short Christmas break in the Bundesliga last weekend. On matchday 14, it was only our betting tips between Dortmund and Wolfsburg as well as Stuttgart and Leipzig that you would not have made a profit.
We want to build on this sensational quota on the second weekend in January and are looking forward to numerous top games on the 15th day of the game. Among other things, the four Champions League participants face each other in direct duels. Gladbach welcomes Bayern on Friday.
No less interesting is the encounter between VfL Wolfsburg and Union Berlin, which is about which of the two clubs has a direct connection to the top tier ranks. At the same time, we experience Bo Svensson’s debut on the bench of the zero fives between Mainz and Frankfurt. The ex-professional should initiate the turnaround in the Rhein-Main-Derby and prevent the threatened relegation of the FSV in the medium term.
In addition, we are dealing in detail with the question of whether Schalke 04 can really set Tasmania Berlin’s age-old record on Saturday. Should the home game against equally insecure Hoffenheim not be won, the Royal Blues would draw level with the historically worst Bundesliga club after 32 games without a win.
Comprehensive preview articles of all nine matches including information about possible injuries and suspensions in the Bundesliga, possible lineups and the resulting betting recommendations are now available in the Bundesliga betting tips section.

Gladbach vs Bayern Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 8
The 15th matchday will open on Friday evening with a real classic. This is the 105th time that Gladbach and FC Bayern will meet in the Bundesliga. Particularly interesting is the statistic that the record champions were only able to win exactly a quarter of all away games at Borussia (13 of 52). In addition, the team from the Lower Rhine has always won the first leg against Munich in the past three seasons.
Against this background and the fact that the team of coach Hansi Flick has always fallen behind in the last eight Bundesliga games, we consider the odds on an away win for the front-runner in the Bundesliga on matchday 15 to be too low to locate an attractive value.
Although the foals only won one of their most recent four home games and are still lagging behind their own claims in the Bundesliga table, we still trust the seventh-ranked number to win at least one point on Friday evening. In particular, Bayern’s defensive vulnerability, which is particularly noticeable when the opposing attackers run deep, could become an X-factor for the supposed outsider.

Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
For Union Berlin, the season so far must feel like a dream. Started as one of the hottest relegation candidates, the iron already have 24 points on the account and are thus in a respectable fifth place. The capital club has only lost one of the last 13 games. Most recently there were wins against Borussia Dortmund and at Werder Bremen, in which the Fischer team presented themselves surprisingly mature and serene.
On Saturday afternoon, Union now has the chance to land another big point. The guests at the Alte Försterei will then be VfL Wolfsburg, whose start to the year at Borussia Dortmund was less successful despite an acceptable performance. During the entire season, the green-whites only have one away win, while the Berliners have not lost any of their six most recent home games.
Will Union remain unbeaten at home for the seventh time in a row?
It is therefore quite surprising that in the duel of the fifth against the sixth in the Bundesliga on matchday 15, the corresponding betting tips on a home win are odds higher than those on VfL.
In addition, because the Lower Saxony were not yet able to defeat a team in the current season that is ahead of them in the ranking, we advise against a forecast on the guest three and would instead dare a bet that the self-confident iron would have another To win. In order to minimize the risk a little, the two-way market can be played with cashback in the event of a tie.

Mainz vs Frankfurt Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
Bo Svensson is the name of the new man on the sidelines of FSV Mainz 05. The ex-professional follows interim trainer Jan-Moritz Lichte and is supposed to be the zero five, for whom the Dane has already worked as a player and as a youth coach, before relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga preserve.
The difficult task awaiting the 41-year-old becomes clear when looking at the tableau: The FSV has only scored six points so far and is now penultimate five points behind the saving bank. The last and at the same time only victory in 2020/21 dates from November 2020. Six winless matches have followed to date, four of which have been lost.
Hope for a speedy recovery recently made the first half of the guest appearance at the Allianz Arena. With 2: 0, the Rheinhessen led to the break at Bayern but had to admit defeat with 2: 5 after the break. Nevertheless, the zero five showed good approaches and now want to build on that in Svensson’s debut against Frankfurt.
“New brooms sweep well” – Svensson’s successful debut against the SGE?
At Eintracht, the shape curve continues to point upwards. Thanks to the 2-1 home win against Leverkusen, the Hessians pushed towards the European Cup places and after seven points from the last three encounters are bursting with self-confidence. However, the task at the geographical neighbour will be difficult, especially since the SGE only won six of 24 direct duels against the FSV in the joint Bundesliga history.
We trust the effect of the change of coach at the weekend and will try the Rhein-Main-Derby with a surprise tip on the home win. Incidentally, it would be the very first of the Red-Whites in the current season, but at the same time the fourth in a row for Mainz against Frankfurt.
Betting Tips: Victory Mainz
Odds: 3.75
Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
Bayer Leverkusen remained undefeated on the first twelve match days. After 14 games played, the Rhinelander suddenly have two defeats on the account. Both the last competitive game in 2020 at FC Bayern (1: 2) and the start of the year in Frankfurt (1: 2) went wrong from the point of view of the Bosz-Elf. If the performance against the record champions was still absolutely okay, this could no longer be said of the performance in the Main metropolis.
In order not to let any downward spiral arise, the third-placed player definitely wants to return to the road to success on Saturday. It is quite possible that Werder Bremen is exactly the right opponent because the team of coach Florian Kohfeldt has suffered five defeats in the last six games and is slowly settling in the lower half of the table.
For comparison: the yield after the 14th matchday of the previous season corresponds exactly to that of the current season. In 2019/20 the relegation had to serve to fix relegation. Is there a threat of a similar tremor this time?
Is Leverkusen back on the road to success?
To make matters worse, there is a lot of rumbling behind the scenes among the Hanseatic people. Because Kohfeldt’s friend and sports director Baumann’s contract extension dragged on for a very long time and the ex-professional ultimately only received a one-year working paper until 2022, media reports increased, according to which the coach would also seriously question his future.
Betting Tips: Leverkusen (-1.5)

Schalke vs Hoffenheim Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
January 9, 2021, could go down in the annals of German football history, but in a negative way. Should Schalke 04 fail to win at home against TSG Hoffenheim for the 31st time in a row in the top German division, the Knappen would set Tasmania Berlin’s record from the 1965/66 season.
Admittedly, there is currently not much to be said for betting on an end to the royal blue dry spell in the Bundesliga on matchday 15, especially since Christian Gross’ debut on the S04 bench last weekend at Hertha went completely wrong. The fact that TSG Hoffenheim is a team travelling to Gelsenkirchen that is also struggling with major problems gives a little hope.
Tasmania fans keep their fingers crossed for S04
The team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß has only 15 points on the account and with only four wins in 14 games clearly lags behind their own claims. Away, however, the Kraichgauer were able to score at least one goal in all matches. In Gladbach, the weakened Sinsheimers even won 2-1.
Since TSG has a lot more quality overall, no miracles can be expected from Christian Gross even after two weeks of work and the numbers ultimately speak a clear language, a prediction of the away win is the logical option.
Betting Tips: Win Hoffenheim
Odds: 1.88
Freiburg vs Cologne Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
SC Freiburg is currently the team of the hour in the Bundesliga. On matchday 15, betting tips on the Breisgauer seem to be a good idea again. At home against 1. FC Köln, the sports club is once again a favourite. No wonder, because the Streich team was the only first division to win four times in a row and even stalked the Europa League ranks.
Freiburg expects a test of patience against Cologne
Nonetheless, the southern Germans can expect an uncomfortable task with the “Effzeh”, because the Rhinelander were particularly difficult to crack defensively recently. If you exclude the 0: 4 at home against Leverkusen, keeper Timo Horn only had to reach four times in the remaining five games.
The SC is therefore facing a test of patience against a low-lying and cleverly defending opponent. We, therefore, refrain from a tip on the bottom of the table and try instead with the attractive odds that it is still 0-0 at halftime. The last Cologne goal in the first half came at the beginning of December; at SCF, in three of the last six games, there was no-hit in the first 45 minutes.
Betting Tips: 0: 0 (1.HT)

RB Leipzig vs Dortmund Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 9
The top game on the 15th matchday in the Bundesliga will take place on Saturday evening in the Red Bull Arena. RB Leipzig receives Borussia Dortmund. The second meet the fourth. Six points are already between the two Champions League round of 16, so the pressure is on the shoulders of the black and yellow, who in the event of a defeat would probably have to tick off the championship topic early on.
Although the Saxons have only won one of their eight previous duels against BVB, we can absolutely understand why the best bookmakers see the home side as favourites on Saturday evening.
The Nagelsmann team continues to provide the best home team in the league, has already recorded a whopping 19 points (six wins, one draw) from seven games in their own stadium and recently played four times in a row in the upper house. On the other hand, there is a Borussia team that still looks a bit insecure, has already suffered five defeats this season and, despite the coaching change from Favre to Terzic, currently does not appear to be ready for higher tasks.
Because Erling Haaland didn’t really look fit in the 2-0 win against VfL Wolfsburg, but Dortmund are dependent on their Norwegian super striker, we consider a tip on the success of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on matchday 15 to be far more interesting as a guest threesome.
Betting Tips: Leipzig
Odds: 2.30
Augsburg vs VfB Stuttgart Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 10
For FC Augsburg, VfB Stuttgart is a kind of favourite opponent on the German floor. Against no other opponent, the Fuggerstadt team was able to collect as many points on average as against VfB (1.8 points). The 57% win rate is also higher than against any other league opponent.
In connection with the fact that the FCA won five of the last six home games against their Swabian rivals and that Augsburg even celebrated the highest Bundesliga victory against Stuttgart (6-0) in April 2019, it can make sense in the Sunday afternoon Bundesliga, to check the odds for a home win on the 15th match day.
This is supported by, among other things, the slight downward trend of the Matarazzo team, which recently failed to score twice in a row and only recorded one point from the most recent three games. The FCA, on the other hand, returned to the road to success with a 1-0 win in Cologne and are now determined to improve their own stadium.
In the search for lucrative value bets, we struck gold between Augsburg and Stuttgart, as the betting providers favour the newcomer quite clearly. We only share this view to a limited extent, which is why we would definitely take advantage of the astonishingly high betting odds on the host, who also did not lose any of the last twelve home games against a newcomer. A bet on the two-way market with stake refunds in the event of a draw is undoubtedly an option.

Bielefeld vs Hertha Free Betting Tips Provided by CoreBet Tipsters
Date: January 10
It was already clear in the summer that Arminia Bielefeld would be all about staying up this season. Unlike, for example, the East Westphalian competitor from Paderborn, who was in the bottom right from the start last year, the Arminia can currently at least stay on the relegation spot. They owe their 16th place to three wins this season.
The Neuhaus team will also work out a lot on Sunday evening, even if the Bielefeld team has not won against Hertha for seven competitive games. The disappointing home record also speaks against Arminia, as there have recently been five defeats in six games on the Alm.
Has the knot at Hertha finally burst?
The guests from the capital will, however, rely on the fact that the knot has finally burst the previous week. The “old lady” celebrated a well-deserved victory against opponent Schalke 04 and, based on the solid performance, underlined once more that the Labbadia team actually has more quality than they have been able to show so far.
For the fourth time, the Berliners were ahead at the break this season; in three cases the match could then be ended with three points. At the end of the 15th matchday in the Bundesliga, we again believe in successful betting tips in favour of the “Big City Club” and even dare to bet that Hertha will be ahead after 45 minutes and achieve a start-to-finish victory.
