Bayern Munich, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund will all be in action this weekend as they fight out the league title between each other. Bayern have a significant 11-point lead at the top of the table, and Dortmund trail
Leverkusen by just three points.
Moreover, newly promoted Eintracht Frankfurt are level on points with the reigning German champions. The Bavarian outfit and Leverkusen play their home games against Borussia Monchengladbach and Hamburger SV respectively whereas
Dortmund face Hoffenheim away from home.
Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
The Bundesliga leaders will be looking forward to maintain their unbeaten run and go into the winter break with a perfect record. The Bavarian giants are hoping for an eighth straight clash without losing on Friday, but will need
to be on top of their game against an in-form Gladbach.
The visiting side are placed eighth in the German top division, having picked up 24 points from their opening 16 games. Gladbach struggled at the start of the season, but now head coach Lucien Favre have inspired them in winning
five of their last nine matches, with only one defeat coming in the meantime.
Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 will take on his former club after helping them qualify for the UEFA Champions League last season. Favre is expected
field the same side that beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mike-Hanke-c25699.
Die Roten will be ready to test themselves against Gladbach but Jupp Heynckes’ men will be favourites to get all three points at the Allianz Arena. The Reds are expected to win the 2-0.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485
The Factory squad have done well this term and are second in the league table behind Der FCB with 30 points from 16 rounds of play. They will be cautious following their last weekend’s defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492. Therefore, they would
like to gain maximum points from the game in Bay Arena on Saturday.
The Dinosaur beat Hoffenheim 2-0 last week and moved up to 7th in the Bundesliga. They will be hoping to get something out of their travel against a very good Leverkusen side. They are only six points behind Bayer and
are looking forward to playing in Europe next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Carvajal will be unavailable due to his suspension for one match. Omer Toprak is also a major doubt for the hosts. The Rothosen will miss talented van der Vaart through injury. Maximilian Beister has recovered from his lay-off
and will compete against Heung-Min Son for a starting spot alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Artjoms-Rudnevs-c6722.
The second-placed side will be eyeing another win after last week’s shock result. Leverkusen are expected to win this 2-1.
Hoffenheim vs. Borussia Dortmund
The hosts will welcome the defending champions and DFB-Pokal champions on Sunday at the Rhein-Neckar Arena. Hoffenheim are lying at the bottom of the table and could be relegated at the end of the season if they keep losing their
Bundesliga games.
The Black Yellows have failed to replicate their European form on domestic stage and it looks highly unlikely that they will win their third straight league honour. They trail fierce rivals by 14 points this early in the season.
The Borussians will look to get back to winnings way and will win comfortably 3-0.
