Bundesliga Predictions | Round 34 - Get German Football News

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 Mainz

My match of the week, and probably that of 80% of everyone following German football, is Dortmund against Mainz. Can Dortmund make the final step and finally dislodge Bayern Munich after 10 years of dominance? Or will they once again falter under the heavy weight of being able to win a title? Considering Dortmund’s dominance since the World Cup break, on paper at least, this seems to be a no-brainer. The Black and Yellows should ride this home quite easily, which is why I went for a confident 2-0 win for Dortmund.

Manu’s Predictions:

Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Mainz

RB Leipzig 1-2 Schalke
Union Berlin 2-0 Werder Bremen
Köln 2-2 Bayern Munich

Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-1 Augsburg
Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Freiburg
Wolfsburg 3-0 Hertha Berlin
Bochum 1-2 Bayer Leverkusen

Stuttgart 2-0 Hoffenheim

Stefan’s Game of the Week: RB Leipzig vs Schalke

While most football fans will be keeping an eye on the title race, Schalke’s trip to RB Leipzig should prove to be just as dramatic. The Royal Blues need a win against one of the league’s most formidable teams, who tend to perform especially well in front of their own fans. But with one eye on the German Cup final, I suspect Thomas Reis’ side may just manage to pick up a famous win in Saxony and save themselves from relegation.
