2. Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen: 

Bayern Munich, fresh from a dominant victory, takes on struggling Werder Bremen. Bayern, known for their attacking prowess, are favourites and expected to win by a significant margin, especially considering Bremen's recent form.

3. Borussia Monchengladbach vs. FC Augsburg: 

Monchengladbach, boosted by a recent win, faces Augsburg at home, where they have been strong, and undefeated in their last ten matches. Their previous encounter was a high-scoring draw, but Monchengladbach seems to have the edge in this match. 

4. Darmstadt 98 vs. Eintracht Frankfurt:

Eintracht Frankfurt is expected to win this match. The team has been performing well recently and should carry this momentum into the game against Darmstadt.

5. Freiburg vs. Hoffenheim: 

Freiburg, with a strong home record, faces Hoffenheim. While Hoffenheim has struggled away, Freiburg has been consistent at home. This match is expected to be closely contested, with Freiburg likely having the upper hand. 

6. FC Köln vs. Borussia Dortmund: 

Köln, after a resounding win and nearly beating Bayern, faces Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund, however, has not lost in their recent matches and tends to dominate in direct encounters with Köln. This match might see Dortmund continue their unbeaten streak.
