I don't think bayern can beat freiburg easily. Freiburg is a bit better compared with dortmund. Remember bayern can only get draw against dortmund. I expect the same thing gonna happen with bayern when it will be against freiburg. Freiburg was still in the second position at this moment. That proves that if freiburg was also performing as good as bayern or it may even better right now compared with bayern. I will never try to underestimate another team. Sometime you may see your best team lose against it.
It will be very sick

Freiburg is a team that cannot be underestimated, the head-to-head between Freiburg vs Bayern shows that Freiburg always makes a goal against Bayern. but the average victory of Bayern against Freiburg is when playing at the Allianz stadium, it looks like the end result of this match is 1-0 (thin win) for Bayern.

Even though it's Bayern Munich's home match, I see no chance of underestimating the Freiburg team this season. Bayern Munich is definitely a strong team. They have a strong squad. But Freiburg's performance this season has been very commendable. Freiburg is now second in the points table, two points ahead of Bayern Munich. They certainly don't want to drop a few more steps down the points table so quickly. Also, Freiburg's defense has been quite strong this season. And so I think that Freiburg will play to win against Bayern Munich.

[Jody.Drummer]

At least they should try to defend their first position because it is very difficult to maintain the best position because there will be many opponents who will try to knock them down.

One of them is Dortmund, and both will face each other on Alte stadium Berlin next week, so if Union doesn't have trouble and can win easily will determine their next step. Union is beyond expectation for this session, many observers said this season is the same as last year with the same club, Bayern, Dortmund, and Leipzig, but Union appears at the top of the rank. with this hype, Union will make a surprise win with 2 different goals next week.

Bayen Munich is not what it used to be because the best players are out so they can't afford to get many more goals, while Union Berlin they have a team that can learn well because now many of them are professionals and finally they always get the win, while Union Berlin and Dortmund will probably be won by Union Berlin because it is impossible for them to shift the first position and snatch it from Union Berlin.

Don't be too confident because Borussia Dortmund are also targeting the same thing, namely the victory to close their points acquisition in the standings. Union Berlon are playing very well but that doesn't mean they can underestimate Borussia Dortmund. They still have to be wary of what Borussia Dortmund will show later. I see Borussia Dortmund have the spirit in this match, they will even chase the goal until the final whistle is sounded like in the match against Bayern Munich last week.

[FanEagle]

Although Union Berlin has performed better this season, it is not an easy thing to beat Dortmund even though Union Berlin is playing as the host.
So far, Union Berlin have only lost once away from home to Frankfurt. today Union Berlin will be busy with the Europa league match against Malmo, two days later Union Berlin will host Dortmund. quite a tiring match I think for them.

You describe very well the problem that I generally see at Union Berlin: the staffing level. Due to the triple burden (EL, Bundesliga, Cup), the load per player is enormous, which will inevitably affect the team's performance, at the latest in late fall shortly before the EL break. This is much less of an issue for teams like Bayern, where the extended squad is also very strong, but smaller clubs like Union Berlin can hardly afford that.

In my opinion, it will be very exciting to see whether and how Union Berlin can maintain its current performance in the late fall.

I do agree that it takes a toll on players and it may take a while before people could end up with doing something that could make sense. I mean staff do not feel ready for that many games neither, it means 2 games a week like for a long part of the season, and considering the world cup is in the middle of the league, it’s going to be a year where players are more tired than usual.

This is why I am not sure that we are going to end up seeing Union Berlin really ever recovering. They may or may not get good results in the league eventually, but cup and EL should be gone from their heads, they won't win it, so there is no reason to focus on it at all.

Leverkusen are still trying to improve their game after they sacked the coach and brought in Xabi Alonso. Xabi Alonso is in doubt a lot because he still doesn't have enough experience to coach a team that is currently in difficult circumstances that require him to boost team morale. It is doubtful Xabi Alonso has a fundamental reason, but we can not claim that Xabi will fail because of inexperience. Sometimes a new coach can show his abilities when he is underestimated, we saw the performance of Xabi in improving Leverkusen who were slumped.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for tomorrow's Bundesliga

FC Schalke 04 VS TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Stake odds for this game are 3.45 for Schalke while 3.90 for the draw and 2.02 for Hoffenheim, for this game I really think that Hoffenheim is the best option and the safest option there, so my pick is Hoffenheim,

VfL Wolfsburg VS Borussia Monchengladbach - DRAW

The stake odds for this game are 2.65 for Wolfsburg while 3.55 for the draw and 2.60 for Gladbach for this game I'd like to say Gladbach but they are not consistent ever since and Wolfsburg may even become pretty much difficult to deal with so I would bet for a draw,

Werder Bremen VS 1. FSV Mainz 05

The stake odds for this game are 2.39 for Werder while 3.60 for a draw and 2.90 for Mainz, for this game just like both team inconsistency of winning I think this could also be a draw but right now I really don't know if both teams will make it a draw game, but for me, Werder Bremen is my pick,

Eintracht Frankfurt VS Bayer 04 Leverkusen

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for Frankfurt while 3.65 for the draw and 2.50 for Leverkusen, It seems that Leverkusen's new coach has led them to some good decisions, but surely 1 mistake will get their losses again, so the coach has kind of really need to the team, so my pick will be Leverkusen,

[S A KHAIR]

There is no way to underestimate a team like Dortmund. Maybe Dortmund can't play consistently well. But often they surprise everyone by performing well. Undoubtedly, Union Berlin's performance is better than Dortmund this season. Even then, if Union Berlin is not able to perform well in the match, they will lose points against Dortmund.

[Avirunes]

Eintracht Frankfurt VS Bayer 04 Leverkusen

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for Frankfurt while 3.65 for the draw and 2.50 for Leverkusen, It seems that Leverkusen's new coach has led them to some good decisions, but surely 1 mistake will get their losses again, so the coach has kind of really need to the team, so my pick will be Leverkusen,

Leverkusen has lot of great talents and they started well under their new coach Xabi Alonso against Schalke in Bundesliga. They however lost their CL game against Porto Xabi also needs some time to adjust. Game against Frankfurt is a difficult one so it's hard to pick a winner but I think the game will see both teams scoring.

[Lafu]

Actually I want to believe but with their condition and with the understanding of the Dortmund officials who are always the same as before, printing young players and selling actually this is no longer something strange for Dortmund.
They don't want to impose their will on this apart from the problem of salary actually it is a consequence when they want their squad to be good then their financial condition must be ready to be drained and they don't want to take that risk.

They have to look for a good middle way to get and have good players but also waste to much money for them.
The financial condition are not bad at Dortmund at the moment , sad that a lot players they got are injured or was at the start of the season.
In my opinion they handle the things the right way they are doing now and have done it in the past.

[BitcoinAccepted]

For the time being, Union Berlin will remain at the top for a while. It could also be that they enter the winter break as the new number 1 through the World Cup in November/December in Qatar. They are also 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich and 2 on Freiburg. That team is also higher than most expected. It's actually quite impressive that Bayern Munich and Dortmund are both tied for 3rd place after giving away so many points. We have to wait for Bayern Munich to repair the damage. In the Champions League they are supreme, but in the competition it is less. Cause is unknown. Union Berlin has a home game against Dortmund. If Union Berlin manage to win that, then the lead over Dortmund is 7 points. That's quite a gap. And Bayern Munich is allowed against the number 2 Freiburg. We'll see how good Freiburg and Union Berlin really are.

[Oneandpure]

Eintracht Frankfurt VS Bayer 04 Leverkusen

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for Frankfurt while 3.65 for the draw and 2.50 for Leverkusen, It seems that Leverkusen's new coach has led them to some good decisions, but surely 1 mistake will get their losses again, so the coach has kind of really need to the team, so my pick will be Leverkusen,

Little wrong with odds on games between Frankfurt vs Leverkusen because @2.75 for Frankfurt with playing home is most excited and looking position standing for Leverkusen at 15th and Frankfurt at 8th. But bad achievement after losing 2 match in a row at champion league from Spurs and defeated by Bochum at domestic league last weeks maybe why Frankfurt got higher odds. Leverkusen started great way with new manager Alonso at domestic league after winning from Schalke, but still not avoid losing from Porto at champion league.

I think prefer choose with draw in this match depending not really great record winning when Frankfurt playing as home and Leverkusen have several draw when have away games.

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich are given 1.25 odd for their win. This might seem unfair for Freiburg as they are technically doing better than Bayern Munich in the league at the moment. But I understand this odd gap of course. We are talking about Bayern Munich in the end.

On the other hand Bayern Munich's performance is still not good enough in the Bundesliga. They aren't playing the same here and the Champions League. Therefore I wouldn't take the risk of betting on Bayern Munich. I'd rather try my luck with a double chance on Freiburg with a small amount of money. 

[Maidak]

Union Berlin will obviously have to win this match against Dortmund. Unless they do so, they are at risk of losing the first place on the table.

Now my prediction is that Bayern Munich is likely to win against Freiburg and Union Berlin is almost certain to lose against Dortmund.
The result will put Bayern Munich in second place and Dortmund in third. But Union Berlin is still expected to be at the top.
The difference is going to be that they will face a lot more competition and pressure from both Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

But if Freiburg wins the match against Bayern Munich, they will take over the lead(1st place) if Union Berlin loses .

These are going to be the most significant two matches for all four teams in my opinion.

Wow, top clubs are fighting each other in week 10, Bayern Munich vs Freiburg and Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund. The results of these two matches greatly affect the position in the top four list, the match against Freiburg is very important to be won by Munich because this is a good moment for them to climb up to second place, while Bayern Munich hopes that the other Big Match match Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund gets a draw so that their distance with Union Berlin to be 2 points.

I like how nothing is certain in this league after quite a long time. For a very long period of time, Bayern Munich has been the one to win the league title season after season. But it feels like there will finally be some competition. There is one thing that surprises me about this competition, which is that it comes in the form of Union Berlin.

snip

After that loss to Frankturf, I now doubt if Union Berlin will be a dominant team against Dortmund or if they are lucky yet again in winning against Dortmund that will be great because Dortmund is now having a great time with their matches and now they are improving even without Erling Halland, or Sebastien Haller,
Yeah now that Bayern Munich's formation are all switched and good Sadio Mane is performing well, and every player had their chance now to gazing the goal, for me their are the favorite to win and the odds are back again to Bayern Munich,

I agree that the odds are in favor of Bayern Munich once again. This season, however, they have been somewhat inconsistent in their performance. Therefore, I think it would not be a wise idea to make a prediction about whether Bayern Munich is going to win the next match. Although Bayern Munich seems to be the team that will have the advantage in the next match against Freiburg, that does not necessarily mean that they are.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Bayern Munich got 3 goals in the first half, I'm happy to see Sadio Mane get a goal in this match. As predicted this match will belong to Bayern Munich.
They even scored a quick goal through Leroy Sane in the 3rd minute, Jamal Musiala doubled the lead over Byern Munich in the 39th minute and Mane scored in the 39th. There was still a second half for Leverkusen to narrow the difference, but I doubt they can do that. Even I think Bayern Munich will score again.

Sadio Mané with his 6th goal for Bayern München this season. I think it's a great way to score again. and he Sadio Mane scored his first goal at the Allianz Arena as a Bayern player. I hope Mane scores again to answer all the criticism that has been considered not good enough as a substitute for Lewa

that's good to see him make a score against leverkusen. It seems like bayern was going back again to the right track after so many critics for bayern. I do believe bayern can easily go to the first place if bayern can win against all of those top 4.
4-0 for bayern against leverkusen, that's an impressive result for bayern. I hope that this trend will gonna happen for the upcoming match. It seems like sadio mane feel confidence in bayern

Well, Bayern is a team that has a long history and I think that many good things can happen, it is obvious Mane is a scoring machine and has a lot to offer, if we put this on a scale for me, Bayern can easily get back into position the first position, it's a matter of time, every team goes through difficult times, moments that are of many crises, this is something they have to overcome, I've seen all the teams go through times like this, for me this also has to do with the players, if they have problems or something, they are taking it to the field and that is not good, here also the technical director must do his part and I think they are achieving it.

For the time being, Union Berlin will remain at the top for a while. It could also be that they enter the winter break as the new number 1 through the World Cup in November/December in Qatar. They are also 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich and 2 on Freiburg. That team is also higher than most expected. It's actually quite impressive that Bayern Munich and Dortmund are both tied for 3rd place after giving away so many points. We have to wait for Bayern Munich to repair the damage. In the Champions League they are supreme, but in the competition it is less. Cause is unknown. Union Berlin has a home game against Dortmund. If Union Berlin manage to win that, then the lead over Dortmund is 7 points. That's quite a gap. And Bayern Munich is allowed against the number 2 Freiburg. We'll see how good Freiburg and Union Berlin really are.

Well it is obvious that sometimes one can think that two teams that can make a difference and that are not the ones that one is used to seeing, in this case Bayern, Dortmund, are the teams that one really hopes to say that they have made the difference. , what I don't know, what is the reason why Bayern has dropped a lot of places in the classification, with the level they have they should be in first place, but I think that the fact that Lewa is not here has hit them a lot, for me he is a difficult man to replace, perhaps a Kane can do something similar, but it is not the definitive solution, however I am intrigued by what will happen between Freiburg and Union Berlin.

In a more graphic way, the classification of the Bundesliga goes like this:



Source: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/table


Not to mention this information which makes this Bundesliga very interesting:

Dortmund, Bayern challenge Bundesliga top 2 Union, Freiburg

Union is two points ahead of Freiburg, which itself is two points ahead of Bayern and Dortmund after nine rounds.

The surprise leaders’ success is built on mean defenses, efficiency in front of goal, and continuity – both Union coach Urs Fischer and Freiburg counterpart Christian Streich are the longest serving coaches in the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin will obviously have to win this match against Dortmund. Unless they do so, they are at risk of losing the first place on the table.

Now my prediction is that Bayern Munich is likely to win against Freiburg and Union Berlin is almost certain to lose against Dortmund.
The result will put Bayern Munich in second place and Dortmund in third. But Union Berlin is still expected to be at the top.
The difference is going to be that they will face a lot more competition and pressure from both Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

But if Freiburg wins the match against Bayern Munich, they will take over the lead(1st place) if Union Berlin loses .

I agree that the odds are in favor of Bayern Munich once again. This season, however, they have been somewhat inconsistent in their performance. Therefore, I think it would not be a wise idea to make a prediction about whether Bayern Munich is going to win the next match. Although Bayern Munich seems to be the team that will have the advantage in the next match against Freiburg, that does not necessarily mean that they are.

Well, there is something that I like a lot, apart from the fact that there are many who think that the emotion is not in the Bundesliga, but in other leagues, such as the PL, the Spanish League, the French League, the Bundesliga has raised the level a lot, and it is not they see Bayern as their first option for news, Union Berlin is showing that they have a way to get into the best championships, this means that they can dethrone the best, it also causes me a bit of astonishment that Dortmund, which is such an emblematic team, has so many problems too.

Anyway, I know that the ones who are still favorites to win the Bundesliga are still Bayern, but you have to take into account the teams that are getting into the good classification.

The recognition is a fact, the Union Berlin is giving a lot to talk about:

Union Berlin: From East German also-rans to Bundesliga leaders

Union Berlin became Bundesliga table toppers for the first time in their history on Matchday 6 of the 2022/23 campaign, as the club's remarkable journey from the basement of German football reached its very summit.

It was the first time Union had placed first in a top tier since 1970, when they led the DDR-Oberliga - which represented the peak of East Germany's footballing pyramid.

Source: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/union-berlin-from-east-german-also-rans-to-bundesliga-leaders-21264

This means that it is an example for all teams in all leagues, that you just have to believe it, Union Berlin believe it and they are at the top.

[makishart]

Bayern Munich are given 1.25 odd for their win. This might seem unfair for Freiburg as they are technically doing better than Bayern Munich in the league at the moment. But I understand this odd gap of course. We are talking about Bayern Munich in the end.

Therefore I wouldn't take the risk of betting on Bayern Munich. I'd rather try my luck with a double chance on Freiburg with a small amount of money. 

It seems boomakers were seeing the track record from both of team. Bayern has better result when it was always facing freiburg. That's why bookmakers were putting more to the bayern. In my opinion if bookmakers were not seeing the current standing in the bundesliga as a benchmark to determine whether it must got a high or low odds. I think that it's quite clear that if bayern may become favorite in this match compared with freiburg. The match may become draw like when bayern against dortmund.
Freiburh is performing so well compared with the last season. That will become a tough match for bayern.

[bering]

Schalke vs Hoffenheim that both of teams had the same mission that back to winning track after 3 consecutive failed to win but away team has slightly better because at least Hoffenheim only experience to lose once from 4 matches and head to head statistics showed both of them had equal records because they can beat each other but i am quite worried about Hoffenheim away matches records because they seems hard to win and for this match i think the possibilities to ended with draw results is quite high considering from Hoffenheim away matches results that they can able to get draw results several times

[Smack That Ace]

Without doubt, Union Berlin's performance this season have been outstanding. They so far won 6 out of the 9 games they have played. While, their match between Dortmund will be an interesting one. Union Berlin have high chances of winning, Although, it quite certain that it won't be an easy winning. But, I will like to see Union Berlin win inorder for them to maintain occupying the first position on the standings.

Even if Union Berlin loses in this round, they will most likely still remain in first place, since Dortmund will not have three points to overtake Union Berlin, and Freiburg will play with Bayern in this round and most likely will also lose. Not so long ago, Union Berlin hosted Bayern at home and the match ended 1:1, so the team can score points with strong teams too. But the odds of 2.3 for Borussia looks very tempting.

I don't think Union Berlin will lose against Dortmund in their clash, Union Berlin has managed to play some of the top teams in the league including Bayern Munich and with their results so far, I believe they have what it takes to defeat Dortmund or secure a draw. With the last draw seen in the last week's game between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, I think Dortmund may likely have a draw again because Bayern finds it difficult to win against Union Berlin in their home so Dortmund can't defeat them in their home.
Union Berlin will remain, league leaders if they lose against Dortmund because they are 4 points ahead of Bayer Munich and Dortmund s they will remain on top of the league with 1 point difference unless Freiburg defeats Bayern Munich which I don't think is possible.

@GiftedMAN, At this moment I really don't know what is possible and what is not. Not in a million years did I think Bayern Munich was going to have problems leading the Bundesliga table. But somehow that is happening. And at the same time, I never thought that Union Berlin would lead the Bundesliga table. And that is also happening.

I think Bayern Munich should be able to win this match against Freiburg. It doesn't matter that Bayern Munich is not at its peak right now, I think that they have the better squad and that is the only reason I predict Bayern Munich to win this match. In spite of the fact that I say that is the only reason, I firmly believe that reason alone is sufficient.

Dortmund is scheduled to face Union Berlin tomorrow. I am really not sure how this match is going to end. But I believe that Union Berlin is playing really well this season and it is not going to be surprising if they do win against Dortmund. I say this is most likely to be a draw in this match.

Good Luck

Schalke vs Hoffenheim that both of teams had the same mission that back to winning track after 3 consecutive failed to win but away team has slightly better because at least Hoffenheim only experience to lose once from 4 matches and head to head statistics showed both of them had equal records because they can beat each other but i am quite worried about Hoffenheim away matches records because they seems hard to win and for this match i think the possibilities to ended with draw results is quite high considering from Hoffenheim away matches results that they can able to get draw results several times

Schalke are very ambitious to win after they suffered 3 defeats in a row especially since this match will be played at their home, I think it's a good bet to choose Schalke to win.
while Hoffenheim have a bad record away from home this season, that's why Schalke's chances of winning this match are bigger.
but a draw is also possible. but choosing to bet on a draw is very risky, I think betting on a Schalke win is worth it.

the bookmakers are giving Hoffenheim an advantage and looking at odds and the position in the table and the last results of the two teams I also consider Hoffenheim as the favorite to win this game, probably Hoffenheim will score 2 goals in this game and I believe that Hoffenheim will win this game I decided to bet on Hoffenheim to win the game, I even thought about BTTS but after the odd for BTTS being at @1.54 I saw that it was not worth betting on BTTS because it is a low odd, while for the if Hoffenheim wins the odd is at @2.00 which is a very good odd

I think Bayern Munich should be able to win this match against Freiburg.

Freiburg is a very problematic opponent and Bayern may have difficulties in this game, but it is strange that bookmakers are giving a very low odd in case Bayern wins the game, bookmakers are giving odds of @1.27 in case bayern win this game, honestly i think it's a big exaggeration knowing that there is a chance of bayerm to draw and lose points

[tulusikhlas]

But with Schalke's situation I doubt they will be able to hold off Hoffenheim even though they have a pretty good record when these two meet. Schalke's 3 consecutive defeats prove that they will not be ready to face this match even though it will be a home game for them. I will bet on Hoffenheim's win in this match to reduce the risk.

Schalke's performance this season has been very poor. Out of 9 matches, they managed to win only 1 match. The main reason for their poor performance is their weak defense. They conceded 21 goals in just 9 matches. On the other hand, Hoffenheim's defense is quite strong. So even if Hoffenheim can't win the last few matches, I don't think Hoffenheim players will do anything wrong against Schalke.

[Jody.Drummer]

Don't be too confident because Borussia Dortmund are also targeting the same thing, namely the victory to close their points acquisition in the standings. Union Berlon are playing very well but that doesn't mean they can underestimate Borussia Dortmund. They still have to be wary of what Borussia Dortmund will show later. I see Borussia Dortmund have the spirit in this match, they will even chase the goal until the final whistle is sounded like in the match against Bayern Munich last week.

There is no way to underestimate a team like Dortmund. Maybe Dortmund can't play consistently well. But often they surprise everyone by performing well. Undoubtedly, Union Berlin's performance is better than Dortmund this season. Even then, if Union Berlin is not able to perform well in the match, they will lose points against Dortmund.

Maybe in this case the concentration and individual players can also be one of the determining things.
Even though it is clear that Union currently has a good performance, it is still difficult if you look at the condition of the players.
We know that Dortmund's squad is definitely better on an individual basis and I'm pretty sure this can be the difference in the game.
On the other hand, Dortmund's experience with a tight schedule clearly dominates because it can be said that this season is the first time the union has had a fairly tight schedule because it is in the Europa League and of course this requires extra energy in managing the squad in rotation of players.
