Bayern Munich will have the chance to move top of the Bundesliga when they host Mainz 05 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the encounter in decent form as they aim to record a third successive league win.
We say: Bayern Munich 3-0 Mainz 05
We expect Bayern to have too much class for Mainz, despite the visitors' decent form across their last few matches.
The Bavarians have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions since the international break, and they will be determined to return to the top of the Bundesliga and place significant pressure on Union Berlin.

RB Leipzig will be aiming to close the gap on the top four positions in the Bundesliga when they host Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are only one point clear of the relegation places ahead of their trip to the Red Bull Arena.
We say: RB Leipzig 3-2 Bayer Leverkusen
Both teams are far more proficient offensively than they are defensively, so we can envisage an entertaining match in Leipzig on Saturday.
The hosts have been in excellent form of late and it would be a surprise if Leverkusen were to end their unbeaten run considering Alonso's side's struggles this season. We predict a home win with both teams to score.

Wolfsburg welcome a steadily improving VfL Bochum outfit to the Volkswagen Arena for a crunch clash near the bottom of the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Both sides have severely struggled in the opening months of the campaign, and Bochum have already implemented a new manager this season.
We say: Wolfsburg 3-1 VfL Bochum
Both teams have often scored in matches involving these sides in recent weeks, but that is heavily down to the defensive deficiencies in both sides.
Bochum's woeful away record has been their Achilles' heel though, and that may well continue here.

Stuttgart will be aiming to move outside of the bottom three when they host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are six points clear of their forthcoming opponents in the table.
We say: Stuttgart 2-1 Augsburg
With the visitors missing so many key players through injury, we can envisage the hosts taking full advantage to claim only their second league win of the season.
Augsburg are likely to be ruing dropping points against Leipzig from such a strong position last time out, and we can see them struggling both mentally and physically until they get more players off the treatment table and back on the pitch.

Frankfurt vs. Dortmund (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to leapfrog Eintracht Frankfurt into the top four of the Bundesliga by beating them on Saturday evening.
Frankfurt should be full of confidence, though, having won four consecutive games in all competitions.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Borussia Dortmund
The Bundesliga's Saturday night game should be a highly absorbing affair this weekend, with both teams playing an attractive style of football in recent weeks.
In truth, with Frankfurt benefitting from home advantage, it is difficult to split them from Dortmund, so we can envisage a score draw at Deutsch Bank Park.
