RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Preview
Hoffenheim is already in strong form with 3rd position in the Bundesliga table. Compared to RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim has a three-point lead. But the margin is not so huge that Leipzig can easily climb up. In terms of form, Hoffenheim has a good defensive side that has conceded fewer goals. Their offense is their main strength, bagging 54 goals over 26 games. On the other hand, RB Leipzig is in a similar form. Their defense is just as strong as Hoffenheim’s. But their rapid attacking transitions will outpower Hoffenheim. Their attacking midfield easily moves between offense and defense. Although Hoffenheim has a higher scoring average, RB Leipzig’s form and quality will beat Hoffenheim in this Bundesliga game.
The Pick: RB Leipzig.

Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Preview
Bayern Munich delivered a strong performance in their previous game against Leverkusen. However, they couldn’t win given Leverkusen’s strong defense. Bayern Munich is determined in the upcoming game. Their midfield game is their key strength, with both attacking and defensive play. Particularly, forward Harry Kane is one of their big strengths, having scored the most goals in the Bundesliga so far. Union Berlin, in contrast, ranks tenth in the Bundesliga table currently. Their record is fairly average but not elite enough to beat the Reds on the road. The visitors’ squad has good physicality, but Bayern Munich has depth. This will result in Union Berlin struggling to score after one or two, while struggling on the defensive side. Hence, Bayern Munich has the clear advantage.
The Pick: Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund vs Hamburg Preview
Borussia Dortmund brings their young and deep squad to the game. They are significantly more consistent than most of the teams in the league. Additionally, they have a balanced form with good defense and offense. But Hamburg is struggling with inconsistency. Their negative goal differential shows their weak defense, which concedes more than they score. So, Hamburg will struggle to contain Dortmund in this Bundesliga clash.
The Pick: Borussia Dortmund.
What Lies Ahead?
