Bayer Leverkusen |
Bayern Munich |
VfB Stuttgart |
RB Leipzig |
Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are the leaders going into the winter break having not lost in any competition this season. Some very shrewd summer signings have turned them into genuine title title contenders. Bayern of course will have something to say about that and with Harry Kane on course for a record-breaking season, they cannot be ruled out. Stuttgart have gone from relegation candidates last season to top four contenders, while Leipzig are keeping themselves in contention.

Borussia Dortmund |
Eintracht Frankfurt |
TSGHoffenheim |
Freiburg |
Dortmund have been…..well, Dortmund, while Eintracht Frankfurt have continued to show two sides to them- good and bad. Hoffenheim have been ticking along nicely, while Christian Streich’s traditional ambition of securing Bundesliga survival looks secure once more.

Heidenheim |
VfL Wolfsburg |
Augsburg |
Borussia Mönchengladbach

Last season’s 2.Bundesliga champions Heidenheim have settled in well and will be happy with their ninth place, with both Wolfsburg and Augsburg (under new coach Jess Thorup) close behind. Gladbach are a work in progress under new trainer Gerardo Seoane.

Werder Bremen |
VfL Bochum |
Union Berlin |
Mainz |
Werder and Bochum are probably where you would expect them to be, but the same cannot be said of Union Berlin. After a mesmeric qualification for the Champions League last season, die Eisernen have really hit the wall and are fighting the drop rather that mixing it at the top. Urs Fischer has gone as has Bo Svensson at Mainz proving that nobody is safe if the results don’t come. Köln are another side in dire straits, with promoted Darmstadt the current bottom side and not enjoying their return to the top flight.
