Bayern’s win-streak ends! Leverkusen’s NEW Generation! Underrated Hoffenheim!

Bayern’s winning streak is over — but nobody behind them made it count. Leipzig were beaten, and Dortmund dropped points in stoppage time.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, continue to climb quietly. Four wins in a row, now including a comeback against Leipzig, have turned them from outsiders into genuine European contenders. Under Christian Ilzer, they’ve built one of the Bundesliga’s most effective and underappreciated systems.

Stuttgart had to dig deep to get theirs, but Hoeneß and his team continue their perfect home record. Leverkusen, too, looked refreshed. After their first stumble under Hjulmand, they hit back with six goals — a statement built around a younger, quicker core that signals the next evolution of this side. Jan and Markus argue why this Leverkusen team are so intriguing to follow!

At the other end, Wolfsburg’s slide finally broke the board’s patience. Paul Simonis is gone after just ten league games, and a squad that once looked balanced is now two points from the drop.
