So far, they have accumulated 27 points and are almost 20 points from the perch of Bundesliga.

• Moenchengladbach favorites against Stuttgart
• Dortmund face a challenge against Leverkusen
• Schalke and Hannover will go head to head

The visiting side have been dealt unfavorable chances 4.00 (3/1) considering their away record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses with total points standing at 24.

Stuttgart used to be pretty good in the Bundesliga several years ago and they even managed to clinch the league title in 2007, whereas now they sit in 15th place on the verge of entering the relegation zone.

Leverkusen vs Dortmund and Bremen vs Hertha

They have never lost at home, however they have recorded a total of 5 draws which is pretty disappointing considering they boast a promising squad. Luckily Leverkusen have also won on five other occasions while playing at home.

Dortmund were German champions in 2011 and 2012, however every year they have lost some high profile players, most notable Gotze and Lewandowski in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Bremen lie in 16th position with only 17 points from 17 games so far this season.

A draw on the other hand stands at 3.40 (12/5), an event that may also happen.
