Another victory for Eintracht, they are not stopping. It's their 3rd win in a row and they're currently only 2 points behind the 2nd Leverkusen, but only until tomorrow when I hope Leverkusen will earn another 3 points on Monchengladbach.
On the other hand, Dortmund's bad luck continues. It was their 3rd straight loss in the league and it's getting clearer that the top 4 might have just got beyond their reach. Luckily they still have Champions League to play with decent chances of getting through to the next round. And looks like they're looking to strengthen their attack with attempts of getting Marcus Rashford on loan from Man United:

Fixtures + odds for tomorrow/Sunday games:

[$crypto$]

In the near future we will see the match between Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg, on paper Bayern Munich is a team that is highly favored to be able to achieve a victory. However, they should not underestimate the visiting team, because Wolfsburg has the ability to beat them.

I think the course of the game will be dominated by Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg will rely more on counterattacks.

Losing in three games in which Dortmund had more than 65% possession each time, has the management not noticed something? Enough is enough! Something has to change and I also think it is a shame.
At some point, we must realize that the “wrong man” on the head coach will only make Dortmund collapse completely.
Let's see what decisions the Board will make after this beat.

There is goal rush in this weekend matches in the bundesliga as a lot of goals are being scored Bayarn Munich is currently leading 2:1 against Wolfsburg, while Leipzig lead Bochum by 0:3, stuggard are also leading Freiburg by 3:0 at home while the game between Hoffenheim and holstein Hoffenheim leads by 2: 0 by the halftime mark let see how the final results will turn out to be in these games

The match has been over already. Bayern Munich won the match as expected. Bayern Munich really dominated the match, they played very offensive in this match. But it was not an easy match for Bayern Munich because the match almost ended up with a draw. It is true that Wolfsburg isn't a weak team. Although they played rather defensive, they could score 2 goals. Wolfsburg knows well how to use a counter-attack strategy.

The two most most important teams currently in the Bundesliga that I always look out for are Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen who are in a hot battle for who wins the Bundesliga. The two of them won their games today, so I guess the title chase continues with today favouring both teams. 

No Harry Kane goal for Bayern, but Michael Olise who got the headlines. Bayern would have drawn the game, Bayer Leverkusen's goal difference was more convincing.

A hard-earned home win!
Goretzka was very strong today, he scored 2 goals and was the hero. Goretzka also played a good game when he didn't score, not only in this game.
The most important thing is three points, but the exploitation of chances was poor, and at times there was a lack of determination, concentration, and clarity both in attack and defense. Imagine if Wolfsburg had the same number of chances as Bayern. Bayern should have won easily 6-2

Bayern Munich approach towards this game was not encouraging as they showed not looking good during this match Wolfsburg would have made it 3:3 had it been that they took all their chances that came their way bundesliga is getting more competitive this season and looking at where Bayern Munich is in the league table you could tell that they are not safe on top of the league table be because it's only four points that separate bayern munich and Leverkusen so going forward bayern munich has to step up their game and approach all games with a level of seriousness and competitiveness as any game that they drop points they will have themselves to blame as Leverkusen is coming from their back

Yes, it was not an easy match, but they managed to finish it well. They played very aggressively, that is what they usually do. Wolfsburg tried to hold back, but they were not strong enough to withstand every attack built by Bayern Munich.

This victory makes them solid at the top of the standings, but even so they also have to remain vigilant because the threat is below them if they slip up.

Another 3 points for Leverkusen and Bayern, so no changes in the top 3, but worth noting an impressive 4-0 win by Stuttgart (3rd in a row). Freiburg is a solid team and I didn't expect them to lose that easily.
While Leipzig couldn't handle the last in the tale Bochum and the game ended with a 1-1 draw, Stuttgart now got up to the 4th place while Leipzig dropped down to 5th, and will drop to 6th if Mainz manages to earn 3 points on Union Berlin this evening.

If Stuttgart stabilise their form at the current level, they might very well end up in the top 3. I guess I wrote them down a bit too early.

Yep. Wolfsburg made it way closer than it ever should have been with the overall control Bayern had, Some terrible finishing and defense made for a way closer match than it should have been.
And the next game is Feyenoord in UCL, hard work to clinch a ticket to the Round of 16.
Bayern is one point off the automatic qualification spot due to their losses to Aston Villa and Barcelona.
I hope Harry can score again in tomorrow's game, not just from the penalty spot.

Bayern Munich has to do well moving forward because from the last match that they played against Wolfsburg this weekend there where a lot of lop holes that where spotted in the team especially at the back line which allowed a team like Wolfsburg to score two goals against bayern munich team that was playing at home this calls for concern and they needs to improve on their game moving forward especially in tomorrow's champions League game that is coming up against feeyenord in Netherlands this match will be a tough one for bayern munich because feeyenord too needs a win to keep their chances of qualifying into the second phase of the champions League

Feeyenord is one side that is a force to recoun with as they play a good and attracting brand of football scoring plenty of goals so bayern has to be clinical in the game especially in front of goals as feeyenord will do everything to frustrates bayern munich and if possible gets a win in the game

Not the best performance by Leverkusen in the Champions League tonight. They lost 2-1 against strong Atletico despite having one player advantage (due to Atletico's red card)) from the 25th minute and taking a lead at the end of the 1st half.
If they were to win, they would pretty much guarantee themselves advance to the next stage, but now they'd have to win the last round against Sparta Prague, which they probably will though.
Dortmund failed again. They succumbed to Bologna 2-1 after a poor game during which they struggled to create any chances, with only 3 shots on goal and they could only score from a penalty. In their last 10 games, they won only twice, drew 3 times, and lost 5 times. This is not what would be expected from a top team and the previous season's Champions League finalists.

The only team that defended the honour of German football and won their game tonight was Stuttgart, who are clearly on an uptrend right now. A comfy win 3-1 over Slovan Bratislava currently places them in the play-offs zone.

Yes, Bayern Munich must be stronger on key games and when they open some vulnerable positions at the back like in the case with Wolfsburg. To face a Feyenoord of Netherlands will definitely be a big Major feat since this Team has been known to posses high spirited Attacking formations during its games. As viewed to achieving the objective or come out as winner, there are certain factors that need to be enhanced in this game by the Bayern with specific reference to the following; Below par efficiency is observation in the conversion of opportunities in front of goal area, while, coordination in the defence line of the team. Feyenoord will do everything that they can to get maximum result on the field and that is why Bayern must be ready to just play with maximum bright and a little bit more mature. Perhaps this will be a chance to demonstrate it in this match and become one of the best teams in Europe.

The match against Feyenoord should be Bayern's top priority right now and with the new format, we can't differentiate between small and big teams.
If Bayern performs as they did against Wolfsburg, then I'm sure they will have a hard time beating Feyenoord in the Rotterdam, but Bayern have a lot of experience in UCL and the atmosphere will motivate their players to win the match.
