In this new weekly feature, hosts of the Gegenpressing podcast Stefan Bienkowski and Manu Veth face off with their predictions for the forthcoming Bundesliga matchday fixtures. It’s three points for a correct score and one point for a correct result. Who will come out on top at the end of the season?
Manu’s game of the week: Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund – Usually the Topspiel this week would be Hertha vs Stuttgart, a six point relegation battle that will have plenty of drama. But it is a Klassiker weekend and, as a result, the game to watch is obviously Bayern Munich vs Dortmund. Personally, I detest the term Klassiker for this game, that will always be Bayern vs Gladbach for me and also for this to be a true Klassiker, the team in yellow should be winning a few games in this particular matchup. Anyhow, this year feels odd, the title race is over and Bayern could actually wrap it up on Saturday. I do, however, think that Bayern will cherish a win, this will be the first time in two years that they can celebrate a title win with their fans; surely that means something, right?
Manu’s predictions:
Wolfsburg 1-1 Mainz
Leipzig 3-1 Union
Frankfurt 2-0 Hoffenheim
Freiburg 3-0 Gladbach
Köln 2-2 Bielefeld
Fürth 1-1 Leverkusen
Bayern 3-2 Dortmund
Bochum 2-1 Augsburg
Hertha 0-2 Stuttgart
Stefan is away this week, but find out if he agrees with Manuel and listen to the latest episode of the Bundesliga Gegenpressing Pod.
