Bayern Munich has a point to prove after losing the Bundesliga title last season. While they started this campaign strongly, recent performances have raised some doubts, especially following a 2-1 defeat to Mainz. Bayern has collected just four points from their last three matches, narrowing their lead over second-place Bayer Leverkusen to four points. Vincent Kompany’s side remains undefeated at home in six games this season, with Harry Kane leading the league as its top scorer with 14 goals.
Despite their poor showing in the Champions League, RB Leipzig has shown their competitiveness by sitting fourth in the standings with 27 points, six behind Bayern. They’ve won their last two matches, but their away form has been inconsistent, with just three points from their previous three road games. Leipzig’s top scorer, Loïs Openda, has netted six goals this season.

Eintracht Frankfurt is enjoying an excellent season, currently sitting third in the Bundesliga with 27 points and remaining undefeated at home in six matches. They have scored 18 goals on home turf, one of the best tallies in the league, and boast the second-best offense in the competition with 34 goals overall. However, their defensive record, having conceded 20 goals, is an area of concern. Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush has been their standout player, tallying 13 goals and seven assists this season.
Mainz is also having a strong campaign, with six wins, including four victories in their last five matches. Their offense has been effective, and their confidence is soaring after a stunning 2-1 triumph over league leaders Bayern Munich in their most recent outing.

Unlike last season, when they were among the top teams, Stuttgart now finds itself in sixth place, 10 points behind the league leaders. However, the team has maintained its scoring prowess, tallying 29 goals so far, with Bosnian striker Ermedin Demirović leading the charge. At home, Stuttgart boasts a record of four wins, two draws, and one loss, which came against Eintracht Frankfurt.
St. Pauli, recently promoted back to the Bundesliga, is fighting to avoid relegation, sitting with just 11 points after 14 matches. They have lost four of their last five games, and their biggest struggle has been on offense, managing only 11 goals.

Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen is closing in on the top spot, trailing Bayern by just four points. The team has won its last four matches, bringing its total to 32 goals scored and 20 conceded this season. While they’ve only suffered one loss so far, their home form hasn’t been particularly dominant, earning 14 points from seven matches.
Freiburg is having an impressive campaign, currently sitting in fifth place with 24 points, which would secure a spot in European competition next season. While not a high-scoring team, with only 20 goals to their name, they’ve been competitive throughout the season. However, their away form is a concern, as they’ve gone four matches without a win on the road.
