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: Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt
My match of the week is Dortmund vs Frankfurt. I think this will be a real test for Dortmund’s mentality. Can they make up for dropping two points at the last moment against Stuttgart? The sense around Dortmund this week has been that the club wants to put in a serious title challenge, and with Bayern Munich struggling, this will be a must win game. You can say the same about Frankfurt in some ways. The Eagles have struggled in recent weeks and could lose everything if they don’t pull this around quickly. With that in mind, this will be a must watch fixture this weekend.
Manu’s Predictions:
- Augsburg 1-3 Stuttgart
- Mainz 1-1 Bayern Munich
- Hoffenheim 3-1 Köln
- Bochum 1-1 Wolfsburg
- Hertha Berlin 1-0 Werder Bremen
- Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
- Freiburg 1-1 Schalke
- Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 RB Leipzig
- Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-1 Union Berlin
Stefan’s Game of the Week: Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig
It really speaks for itself in terms of the quality within both squads but Sunday’s clash between Leverkusen and RB Leipzig is also a fantastic contest between two teams that have turned around disappointing seasons around and are now hoping to secure top four or top six spots.
Stefan’s Predictions:
- Augsburg 1-2 Stuttgart
- Bochum 2-1 Wolfsburg
- Hertha Berlin 1-1 Werder Bremen
- Hoffenheim 2-0 FC Köln
- Mainz 0-1 Bayern Munich
- Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
- Freiburg 1-0 Schalke
- Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 RB Leipzig
- Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 Union Berlin
Scores after MD28: Manu – 170, Stefan – 148.
