El Zen Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 If Freiburg beat Borussia Mönchengladbach later and Union Berlin hang on to their lead in Cologne, the Bundesliga top two after six rounds will be Freiburg and Union. That’s pretty f***ing cool. Villa aside, I’d almost rather watch the Bundesliga than the PL these days. Not that I had much of a choice in the matter this particular weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rides his bike to home games and politically outspoken. Been in charge for 11 years. Not your typical top league manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are overnight wonders either, both played in europa in recent seasons and Freiburg also got to the cup final last season and should've won it given how long Leipzig had 10 men. Both taken advantage of the traditional 4th-7th teams of Schalke, Stuttgart, Hamburg and Bremen all declining in last decade and getting relegated. Wolfsburg and Leverkusen also had poor starts so not impossible one of them could have a serious chance of making CL if the top 3 is still very likely to be Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Dortmund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only stayed up last season as Hamburg bottled it and have been humiliated constantly by the local rivals who have nowhere near the resources they have The best thing for them was to go down last season to get the club cleared out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are at least watchable at the moment. I'm not saying they are going to catch Union anytime soon, but I think they've started to turn the ship in the right direction, despite being hampered by self inflicted financials restraints from the last few years of mismanagement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they just throw money at things and nothing happens. They probably needed a relegation to get the house in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but sure I read that Bayern have never gone four league games without a win since Bundesliga was formed in the 60s. Would love Dortmund or Leipzig to reel off 5-6 wins before world cup to put really big pressure on them but can't see it. Leipzig up and down and think this is weakest Dortmund in final third for over a decade. Leverkusen and Wolfsburg have had really poor starts so they won't be factors this season either.
