3 games to watch in the Bundesliga this weekend
1st district derby
One of the greatest rivalries of all time, Revierderby returns to the Bundesliga this season. It is the name given to the clashes between the Ruhr region of Germany. So it’s Dortmund vs Schalke. This derby was missing from the league since Schalke was relegated to the second division of German football. With Schalke’s return to the Bundesliga, Revierderby is back.
Schalke, even after returning to the Bundesliga, have not had a great start to the season. They just got 1 win in 6 games played so far. Schalke as a team has also been through a couple of changes and will soon be hoping to get the campaign back on track.
Dortmund is going to have a difficult season. Initially, they sailed in the Bundesliga. But they got lost in the middle and bottled up some games. Dortmund in UCL this midweek had one of its best performances. But unfortunately, they succumbed to the brilliance of Erling Haaland.
But with Schalke winning their last game in the Bundesliga. On the other hand, Dortmund have lost their 2 games in a row in their last two games. It would be interesting to see how they bounce back from their city rivalry.
2. Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig
The next game on our list is Mönchengladbach against RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig before the start of last weekend had a change in a managerial position. The former Dortmund boss has taken over at RB Leipzig. In the first game, he faced and thrashed his former club Dortmund. Leipzig looks like an attacking outlet under Rose. In the Bundesliga so far they have had a mixed campaign winning 2 games and drawing 2 games.
Monchengladbach, on the other hand, have had a similar season to their opponents Leipzig. They’ve had some tough losses to swallow at the start of the season. With them taking on Rb Leipzig this weekend, it promises to be an exciting Bundesliga clash.
3. Bayern vs Augsburg
Our last game on the list will be Bayern against Augsburg. Bayern Munich have had a sub-par Bundesliga campaign so far. They’re not winning games as usual, like they used to. For the first time in many years, they have had 3 draws in a row in the Bundesliga. In addition, for the first time in many years they do not lead the Bundesliga table. Bayern are currently third in the league and would like to reach their usual position, which is the highest. With a deserved victory against a tough Barcelona in the middle of the week in the Champions League. Bayern will approach this week of Bundesliga games with much-needed confidence and high morale.
Their opponent, Augsburg, has not started in the best way this season. They have lost games in a row and were fighting a relegation battle until the last week of games. Currently, Augsburg sits just above the relegation zone. But with Augsburg getting a much needed victory last week. They, too, will go into this Bayern game with hope, especially considering that Bayern have been sloppy in the league this season.
