Fresh from their Champions League victory over Manchester United, reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich welcome VfL Bochum to the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The German giants secured a thrilling 4-3 home win over the Red Devils on Wednesday, while the visitors played out a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the league last weekend.
We say: Bayern Munich 4-1 VfL Bochum
Bayern will be regarded as strong favourites to claim all three points on Saturday, and their in-form attackers should have plenty of joy in the final third against a Bochum side who have already conceded seven goals in two away games this term.
The hosts have shown their own signs of defensive frailties this season, conceding seven goals in their last four matches, but Tuchel's men should ultimately have too much quality for the visitors.

Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Seeking to put aside their midweek Champions League defeat, Borussia Dortmund welcome Wolfsburg to Westfalenstadion for a Bundesliga clash on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams are separated by just one point in the current Bundesliga standings, with BVB sitting in seventh place with eight points, one place and one point behind Wolfsburg in sixth.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Wolfsburg
Dortmund may have thrashed Wolfsburg in their last two home meetings, but a tighter affair could be in store on Saturday considering that there is little to separate these two clubs in the early stages of the campaign.
Terzic will be seeking a response from his BVB players on home soil after their midweek loss in Europe, and we believe that they may just have the edge in the final third to claim all three points.

Fresh from making their Champions League bow at the Bernabeu in midweek, Union Berlin return to Bundesliga action with a home fixture against Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The UCL debutants suffered an agonising late defeat against Real Madrid on Wednesday, while Hoffenheim extended their winning run to three games with victory over FC Koln last time out.
We say: Union Berlin 1-1 Hoffenheim
Aiming for a fourth successive win, Hoffenheim look set to frustrate Union Berlin, who will be fatigued after pushing Real Madrid all the way in midweek.
Still, we expect the two sides to play out a low-scoring draw on Saturday, as Union have lost just one of their home league games since the beginning of last season.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to claim their first Bundesliga victory of the new season when they welcome RB Leipzig to Borussia-Park on Saturday afternoon.
While the hosts are down in 14th place after four matches, the visitors are flying high in third, and a victory this weekend could see them climb to the summit if other results go their way.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-3 RB Leipzig
Considering the contrasting starts that both teams have made to the new season, Leipzig will be regarded as favourites to claim maximum points on Saturday.
Monchengladbach have had plenty of success in their recent home meetings with Leipzig, but we believe that the in-form visitors will claim a comfortable victory at Borussia-Park this time around.

Augsburg and Mainz 05 will both go in search of their first Bundesliga victory of the season when they do battle at the WWK Arena on Saturday afternoon.
With four matches in the books, Mainz find themselves rock bottom of the table with a solitary point to their name, while Augsburg sit 15th with two points.
We say: Augsburg 0-0 Mainz 05
With both sides searching for their first league win of the season, we can see Augsburg and Mainz playing out a tense and cagey goalless stalemate at the WWK Arena.

Werder Bremen vs. FC Koln (Saturday, 5.30pm)

With just one win between them in the 2023-24 Bundesliga season so far, bottom-half strugglers Werder Bremen and FC Koln seek to right their recent wrongs at the Wohninvest-Weserstadion on Saturday evening.
Ole Werner's team were bested 4-2 by new boys Heidenheim in their most recent affair, while the Billy Goats fell short in a 3-1 home loss to Hoffenheim.
We say: Werder Bremen 1-1 FC Koln
Baumgart has been loath to label Koln's current predicament a "crisis", and with good reason too, as the Billy Goats have only been bested by Borussia Dortmund in their last six away games and can restore a small slice of pride against a leaky Werder Bremen crop.
The hosts are very rarely kept at arm's length in front of their own fans, though, and we can see another low-scoring draw being played out between the two sides, as was the case four months ago.
