Augsburg vs. Bayern (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Augsburg host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the visitors looking to end a run of three successive draws by claiming a victory.
The hosts, meanwhile, jumped up the table with a much-needed win against Werder Bremen last Friday.
We say: Augsburg 0-3 Bayern Munich
It would be almost unthinkable for Bayern to drop points in four successive league games, especially considering that they have not really faced any truly difficult opponents during that run.
Augsburg can play with reduced strain having gained a crucial win last time out, but we do not expect them to be able to hold off an angry Bayern outfit determined to head into the international break off the back of a win.

Bayer Leverkusen will be desperate to move outside of the relegation places in the Bundesliga when they take on Werder Bremen on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, have performed above expectations after gaining promotion last season, as they occupy a place in the top half of the table heading into the weekend's fixtures.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Werder Bremen
Leverkusen have looked more confident in recent matches, and we expect their attacking firepower to prove too much for Bremen to handle.
The visitors should cause problems themselves with their front two always carrying significant threat, but they have looked vulnerable defensively this season.

Stuttgart will be searching for their first victory of the season when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, are aiming to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Wolfsburg.
We say: Stuttgart 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Although Stuttgart need to find a win sooner rather than later, we would not be surprised to see yet another share of the spoils for the hosts on Saturday.
Fatigue could be an issue for Frankfurt after a heavy schedule of football, but they have the talent to overcome that and would likely be content with a draw ahead of a well-earned break.

Borussia Dortmund host Schalke 04 in the Revierderby on Saturday.
In the season before last, when Schalke were relegated for the first time since 1988, Dortmund scored seven goals past their fiercest rivals with no response, so the visitors will certainly be hoping to make amends this weekend.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Schalke 04
Although the visitors should be fresher having not played in midweek, we expect Dortmund to have too much class in the Revierderby on Saturday.
With Adeyemi and Malen back in the squad, Terzic has the ability to change things from the bench should things not be going his side's way, which is possible if Schalke's potentially defensive gameplan frustrates their rivals during the early stages.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to return to winning ways when they host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening.
The visitors, meanwhile, made an impressive start in Marco Rose's first game in charge last weekend, as they beat their new manager's former side Borussia Dortmund 3-0.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-2 RB Leipzig
We expect to see goals in Monchengladbach on Saturday, with both sides more effective offensively than they are defensively.
The visitors could be tired after their trip to Madrid, but should Silva be restored to the starting XI, they are more likely to put away the chances that they will almost certainly create.
