Bundesliga Matchday 6 predictions

Friday night

SC Freiburg v. VfB Stuttgart
Prediction: 2-1

There's no better way to start a terrific weekend that this heated Baden-Württemberg derby after Freiburg won both meetings last season. Expect another shock result in a crackling affair.

Saturday

Hertha BSC v. FC Augsburg
Prediction: 2-0

Hertha did not lose to Augsburg in last season's two meetings in the Zweite Liga and should get the job done at home on Family Day at the Olympic Stadium.

Hamburger SV v. Mönchengladbach
Prediction: 2-1

It's hard to believe that Hamburg will continue to flounder in this matchup, and under-fire Michael Oenning has promised the supporters three points.

Bayer Leverkusen v. 1. FC Koln
Prediction: 4-1

Should be a nice, easy recovery from the Champions League for Leverkusen in the 32nd year of a North-Rhine Westphalia derby that should continue to be 'Stale.' (Get it?)

1. FC Nürnberg v. Werder Bremen
Prediction: 1-2

Bremen have been playing well and should avoid a banana peel on this trip to Bavaria.

1899 Hoffenheim v. VfL Wolfsburg
Prediction: 3-1

TBG believe that last week's win over Schalke was a fluke for the Wolves. Expect Hoffenheim to show their class.

1. FC Kaiserslautern v. FSV Mainz 05
Prediction: 2-2

One last derby for the weekend, and this Rhineland affair should end with the honours even.

Sunday
Hannover 96 v. Borussia Dortmund
Prediction: 1-2

It's time for the champions to make a stand, even without the suspended Gotze. Cristiano Ronaldo, do not watch this match!

FC Schalke 04 v. Bayern München
Prediction: 2-1

The featured match-up brings an injury-plagued Bayern to Gelsenkirchen in Neuer's emotional return. Surely the Royal Blues will be up for this one, no?
