Bundesliga Matchday 8 predictions

Friday night

1. FC Kaiserslautern v. VfB Stuttgart
Prediction: 1-2

We will ask once again,why do Stuttgart always play on Friday nights? And is anyone going to watch this fixture? Labbadia wants this result badly as a former 'Lautern player.

Saturday
Borussia Dortmund v. FC Augsburg
Prediction: 2-0

A strange game in France brought Dortmund crashing to Earth while FCA have several players involved in an altercation at the Munich Beer Festival. We'll take the home side.

SC Freiburg v. Mönchengladbach
Prediction: 0-1

It's time to start believing that 'Gladbach have the staying power near the top of the table.

Bayer Leverkusen v. VfL Wolfsburg
Prediction: 1-1

Two disappointing sides separated by a point, and a draw here could heap pressure on both managers.

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

There's not much of a gap in quality between these sides, but the Bavarians should get the job done at home.

1899 Hoffenheim v. Bayern München
Prediction: 0-2

If there is a fixture that could trip up Bayern, this could be it. And surely Bayern will concede another goal. But only a fool would pick against them at this point.

Hertha BSC v. 1. FC Köln
Prediction: 1-1

A fascinating clash in the nation's capital is Saturday's featured match. TBG believes that it will be difficult for Köln to maintain their form. Ramos and Lell are out for Berlin.

Sunday
Hannover 96 v. Werder Bremen
Prediction: 1-2

Bremen have a full week off while Hannover endured travel problems in the Ukraine so the second-placed side should have a major advantage - even on the road.

Hamburger SV v. FC Schalke 04
Prediction: 1-3

We wonder what Huub Stevens is thinking for this one? Will he realize which side he is managing?
