Bundesliga Matchday 3 review

Friday night

Mönchengladbach v. VfL Wolfsburg

Prediction: 1-1
Actual result: 4-1

From 16th-place to top of the table! Getting rid of Michael Bradley and hiring former Hertha coach Favre have done wonders for Gladbach!

Saturday

Werder Bremen v. SC Freiburg

Prediction: 2-0
Actual result: 5-3

Bremen could not stop Cisse, but they couldn't be stopped themselves, either.

Borussia Dortmund v. 1. FC Nürnberg

Prediction: 3-0
Actual result: 2-0

Klopp's men had to work for the result after a first-half stalemate in this scrappy affair.

Bayern München v. Hamburger SV

Prediction: 3-1
Actual result: 5-0

Hamburg vowed they would not lose 6-0 in this fixture like last year. They were right, we suppose.

VfB Stuttgart v. Bayer Leverkusen

Prediction: 2-0
Actual result: 0-1

Kiessling's first-half strike was the difference in this evenly-matched contest.

FC Augsburg v. 1899 Hoffenheim

Prediction: 1-2
Actual result: 0-2

Hoffenheim are among a group on six points, and looking very good in the process.

1. FC Koln v. 1. FC Kaiserslautern

Prediction: 3-1
Actual result: 1-1

The home side were unlucky not to take all three points after a dominant second-half display.

Sunday

FSV Mainz 05 v. FC Schalke 04

Prediction: 2-1
Actual result: 2-4

A stunning second-half turn of events displayed Schalke's class and punctured Mainz's early aura of invincibility.

Hannover 96 v. Hertha BSC

Prediction: 1-2
Actual result: 1-1

A harsh result for a Hannover side that deserved all three points. Will it sap the energy of the 96ers for their important trip to Spain this week?
