Manu’s Game of the Week: Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke

Hard to look beyond the Revierderby on matchday 7. I actually previewed this game in-depth on the Gegenpressing Newsletter. I sense that for both clubs this is a huge game beyond the usual narrative. Both Dortmund and Schalke are looking for some sort of direction after years of wilderness. For the neutral, it is simply great to have the mother of all derbies back in German football.

Manu’s predictions:

  • Mainz 2-1 Hertha Berlin
  • Augsburg 1-1 Bayern Munich
  • Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Werder Bremen
  • Stuttgart 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
  • Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Schalke
  • Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-2 RB Leipzig
  • Union Berlin 3-1 Wolfsburg
  • Bochum 1-3 FC Köln
  • Hoffenheim 1-2 Freiburg

Stefan’s Game of the Week: Hoffenheim vs Freiburg

While there may be more high profile games available for Bundesliga fans this weekend, I can’t help but be enticed by Freiburg’s trip to Sinsheim. Not only is it the best home side locking horns with the best away side in terms of form in the league, but it’s also a clash between two excellent, attacking teams that have hit the ground running this season. It should be an exciting, hard-fought match.

Stefan’s predictions:

Scores after MD6: Manu – 31, Stefan – 24.
