Talking Points
- Dortmund's perfect start: four wins from four, but Friday's home game against a lively Bremen side is their first real test as leaders.
- Bayern's revenge tour: a 7-0 win over Union before the break — can Augsburg's 7-point start survive a trip to the Allianz-era machine? (opinion: unlikely)
- Saturday night special: Leipzig (6 pts) host Frankfurt (5 pts) — both need a statement after dropping points in round 4.
- Relegation watch: Gladbach are bottom with zero points after the 3-4 collapse to Mainz; the Sunday Rhein derby at Köln is suddenly huge.
Our Predictions (opinion — not betting advice)
Dortmund 2-1 Bremen — leaders hold on at home, but Bremen score.
Augsburg 0-3 Bayern — Bayern's attack is rolling; a comfortable away win.
Leipzig 2-2 Frankfurt — Saturday's headline act ends level.
