Bundesliga Predictions | Round 20 - Goals expected between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund

In this 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 Bochum

My game of the week is Bayern Munich vs Bochum and not just because that will be the game that I will be attending this week. These two clubs are deeply connected with the fan groups cultivating a fan friendship that dates back to 1973. Legend has it that a group of Bochum fans protected Bayern supporters from a group of hooligans looking for trouble while the record champions were on a visit to the Ruhrpott. That fan friendship has endured 40 years and for many fans the unity on the stands will be more important than what will happen on the pitch.

Manu’s Predictions:

Schalke 0-2 Wolfsburg
Bayern Munich 3-1 Bochum

Freiburg 2-0 Stuttgart
Mainz 1-1 Augsburg
Hoffenheim 2-2 Bayer Leverkusen
Werder Bremen 1-4 Borussia Dortmund

RB Leipzig 3-2 Union Berlin
Hertha Berlin 0-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach
FC Köln 1-3 Eintracht Frankfurt

Stefan’s Game of the Week: Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund

My game of the week has to be Borussia Dortmund’s trip to Werder Bremen. Edin Terzic’s side can’t seem to stop scoring at the moment and will take that gung-ho approach to the Weserstadion where they’ll face an equally attacking side. This game could really go either way, but at the very least we should find ourselves enjoying a frantic, end-to-end match.
