The match of the week is played between the table toppers Wolfsburg and Frankfurt, the wolves will be looking to make it 5 wins out of 5 as this will be the start in the clubs history. The only concern for Wolfsburg will be the injury to their midfield powerhouse Xaver Schlager on the other hand Frankfurt will be fully fit. Perhaps the most noteworthy part of Wolfsburg's game this season has been their defense, which has conceded one goal in the league.
RB Leipzig will be looking to get back to winning ways as they face FC Koln, Marsch will be under pressure to perform as they lost very badly to Bayern and Man City in the champions league. The only positive this week would be Nkunku’s form as he scored a brilliant hattrick midweek against Man City. Leipzig will be without Marcel Halstenburg and Marcelo Saracchi as Szoboszlai might make his first start in the Bundesliga.
The other fixtures to keep an eye on are:
Augsburg vs Monchengladbach
