After a week of rest for some teams in the Bundesliga due to the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the top division of German soccer returns this weekend with matchday 7, which will be full of many interesting and exciting games.
This start of the Bundesliga season has been spectacular and, incredibly, for the first time in many years, it seems that Bayern will have a season in which they will have to fight for the championship trophy, since, due to the irregularity they have shown, right now they are in third place in the table, 2 points behind the surprising leader, Union Berlin.
And yes, against all odds Union Berlin is signing a dream season in which they accumulate 4 wins and 2 draws to, thus, be the solitary leaders of the general classification table.
We also have Freiburg playing at an excellent level, located in second place at the table. Dortmund is still having some problems getting consistency and is in the fifth position. Borussia Mönchengladbach who looked like they were going to fight for the top, have dropped their level and are in the middle of the table.
Leipzig, Frankfurt, Wolfsburg, and Leverkusen continue their slow start to the season and need to start picking up wins to get closer to the top of the standings before Bayern wakes up and slips out of the top spots.
Here is a preview of the best matches we can enjoy in this Bundesliga matchday 7.

An interesting match is what we will have this Saturday, September 17, when Borussia Dortmund receives Schalke 04 at the Signal Iduna Park in the match corresponding to the 7th round of the Bundesliga at 09:30 am ET.
Borussia Dortmund is not having a good season, despite being in fifth place in the standings, just 2 points behind first place. We state this, since, the two games they have lost so far, have been unexpected, because they have been crushed by these two rivals that, in theory, have no more soccer level than them.
Their record is 4 wins and 2 defeats so far in the Bundesliga. While in the Champions League they achieved a very good victory against Copenhagen with a score of 3-0. But, after that, they were crushed by RB Leipzig last weekend, with a terrible score of 0-3.
Likewise, for this match, we will already know the result of the game against Manchester City, where the Citizens are the clear favorites to win.

On the other hand, Schalke 04 has had a somewhat decent start to the season, where they have managed to score points in 4 of the 6 matches, they have played, but they have a record of 1 win, 3 draws, and 2 defeats.
This makes them ranked #12 in the overall standings, much closer to the relegation zone than to the European international competition places.
Schalke 04 comes into this matchday after winning the first game of the season against Bochum, with a very good score of 3-1.
For this match, we do not doubt that the winner will be Borussia Dortmund, and we predict a score of 2-0.
Dortmund vs. Schalke 04 Betting Pick: Borussia Dortmund

For this round 7 of the Bundesliga, Bayern arrives with the obligation to win the 3 points in the match against Augsburg, which will be played this Saturday, September 17, 2022, at the WWK Arena, home of Augsburg at 09:30 am ET.
In what is proving to be the most difficult season in recent years for them, Bayern comes into Round 7 of the Bundesliga surprisingly in third place in the standings after posting a record of 3 wins and 3 draws, which leaves them 2 points behind Union Berlin.
One of Bayern’s biggest concerns is their offense, as they have not been able to be as effective as they have been over the last few years, and this has cost them a run of 3 successive draws coming into this match.
In addition to the draws on the scoreboard, Bayern will have a tough test when they face the renewed FC Barcelona in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage to be played in midweek.
In their last Bundesliga match, Bayern drew 2-2 against Stuttgart, with goals from Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala.
For this match, our selection is a comfortable victory for Bayern with a score of 3-0.
Bayern vs. Augsburg Betting Pick: Bayern

With two completely different realities, this Sunday, September 18, 2022, we will have a very interesting match between Wolfsburg and Union Berlin, which will be played at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, home of Union Berlin at 09:30 am ET.
Wolfsburg was called to be one of the most competitive teams in this edition of the Bundesliga, but their start of the season has been terrible, so much so that, currently, they are located in 16th place in the table, with a bad record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
We should also note that they are one of the teams that have scored the fewest goals so far this season with 5, something they must correct as soon as possible if they want to fight to be at the top of the standings or simply get out of the relegation zone.
Wolfsburg comes to this matchday 7 after getting their first win this season against Frankfurt, with a score of 1-0.
–
On the other hand, the pleasant surprise of this tournament, Union Berlin, comes into matchday 7 leading the standings with an extraordinary record of 4 wins and 2 draws. Union has shown that their level of play is at the highest level, as they have faced two great German teams Bayern and Leipzig, and have managed to get 4 points out of a possible 6.
Right now, Union Berlin is one of the candidates to fight for this season’s Bundesliga title with Bayern.
Die Eisernen comes into this matchday after a somewhat complicated victory against Cologne, with a score of 1-0.
For this match, we believe that Union Berlin will continue to show great quality in their game and will take the victory with a score of 1-0.
Wolfsburg vs. Union Berlin Betting Pick: Union Berlin

Finally, we close this Bundesliga matchday 7 previews with the evenest match of the whole weekend between Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig, which will be played this Saturday, September 17, 2022, at Borussia Park at 12:30 pm ET.
This clash has taken place a total of 12 times throughout the history of German soccer, where we have clear supremacy for Leipzig with 7 matches won, B. Mönchengladbach has only won 2 matches, while 3 have ended with a draw on the scoreboard.
RB Leipzig, after an excellent previous season, arrived at this new edition of the Bundesliga with a label that made us think that they would once again fight from day one to be at the top of the standings.
But it has been the opposite, Leipzig has had many problems winning games at the beginning of the season and that is why they are in tenth place in the table with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats.
In their last match, Leipzig achieved an extraordinary 3-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund and, during the week, they will have to play their second Champions League match against Real Madrid. Here we will see if the level they showed against Dortmund is real.
–
On the other hand, B. Mönchengladbach had a spectacular start of the season, with 2 wins and 2 draws, which made us think that they would fight to stay in the fight for the top positions, but their performance dropped and, currently, they are in the 8th place of the table, with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.
B. Mönchengladbach come into this matchday after a 0-0 draw in their last game against Freiburg.
This game will be one of the most evenly matched this matchday and that is why our selection is a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.
