Bundesliga Round 9 Preview

The first match this weekend comes on Friday which sees Hoffenheim play against 3^rd placed Bayern Leverkusen. Leverkusen could go top with a win against Hoffenheim, though that might last only until Bayern and Dortmund play the next day.

Dortmund get to play Hannover the next day and they would hope to continue their good form at home which has seen them not drop any point at home and they would hope to bounce back after their last defeat which also saw Mats Hummels sent off.

Bayern Munchen know they could drop to as low as 3^rd place on the table if they slip up against Mainz who have only gotten 1 point from their last 5 matches and they could welcome summer signing Mario Gotze back to the starting line up.

Bottom of team Eintracht Braunschweig  lock horns with 8^th placed Schalke. Frankfurt face Nurnberg, one of 2 teams yet to record a win this season and Werder Bremen face Freiburg. Hertha BSC play against Borussia Monchengladbach later in the evening. Monchengladbach are yet to record a win on their travels this season.

On Sunday, Hamburger face 7^th placed Stuttgart who are yet to lose in their last 5 matches and Augsburg play Wolfburg in the last match of the weekend.
