Bundesliga Matchday 2 – Preview and Free Picks

Bayern Munich reopened the Bundesliga season four days ago and all of the emotions of the German football league are back. The last champions started in the best way possible: they destroyed Eintracht Frankfurt by 6-1, playing away from home. 

Schalke 04 came back to the first division, but the beginning was not the best: they lost 1-3 to Koln in their opponent’s stadium. That won’t certainly be something to affect this traditional team, because they play differently at home and are pushed by their supporters. 

Werder Bremen also got promoted to Bundesliga last season and debuted with a 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg, earning their first point in the top division. They will visit Bayern Munich next game.

Let’s take a look at the main games for the second round of the Bundesliga.

Where Can I Watch? Star+

Freiburg beat Augsburg by 4-0 in the first game and got already the second position in the Bundesliga’s table, placed only behind Bayern Munich. Debuting with a clear victory can be a great sign for a remarkable year. Time will tell us that. 

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, beat Bayern Leverkusen by the minimum score: 1-0. The last time someone stole the title from Bayern was in the 2012/2013 season when this same Borussia were the champions, 8 points ahead of their rivals. 

Whoever wins this game has a chance to be at the top early in the league, to challenge Bayern for the first position. We believe in a surprising win for Freiburg: 2-1.

Augsburg got beaten, at their own home, by Freiburg (0-4) and they will have to change things quickly if they want better results soon. Our pick is a 2-0 win for Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich does not have Robert Lewandowski anymore, as he signed with Barcelona this season, after years and years of being the Bundesliga’s top scorer. 

But, Bayern also shows that any player can be well replaced in this team, and they already reorganized the roster, brought Sadio Mane from Liverpool, and got as strong as last season.

After the 6-1 result against Frankfurt in the first round, we just can expect Bayern to win big again. We believe in a 3-0 win for Bayern Munich. 

Let’s take a look at the picks for the other games: 

• Hoffenheim 2 x 0 Bochum; 
• Hertha Berlin 1 x 1 Eintracht Frankfurt;
• Leipzig 3 x 1 Koln; 
• Werder Bremen 1 x 2 Stuttgart; 
• Schalke 04 2 x 2 Borussia Monchengladbach; 
• Mainz 05 1 x 1 Union Berlin;
