Eintracht Frankfurt and Augsburg meet on the second weekend of the Bundesliga on Saturday hoping to bounce back from their opening-match thrashings.
Both were deservedly well-beaten in their respective fixtures and will be looking to pick up their first points of the new season when they meet at the Commerzbank Arena.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 Augsburg
We are expecting Frankfurt to get their first win under new manager Glasner in a comfortable fashion here. Their exceptional home form of last season will certainly play a part and after displaying their attacking quality in the opening-day hammering, they should once again score a few goals against an Augsburg side thrashed themselves in their campaign opener.

Freiburg will welcome Borussia Dortmund to Schwarzwald-Stadion on Saturday for their first home Bundesliga fixture of the season, as they look to continue their impressive form as of late.
BVB started their Bundesliga season perfectly with a dominant 5-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, but the team will need to bounce back from their defeat in the DFL-Supercup final.
We say: Freiburg 0-3 Borussia Dortmund
Although Dortmund are missing several key players due to injuries, the squad is still one of the strongest in the league with a plethora of attacking talents that should be more than capable of earning a victory here.
Haaland will no doubt look to continue being a threat, while the possibility of some returning players could add even more quality that will be too much for Freiburg to handle.

Two sides from opposite ends of the Bundesliga table last season meet on the second weekend of the new campaign on Saturday as Hertha Berlin host Wolfsburg.
The two teams will look back on the beginning of the new league season with opposite fortunes as well, as they prepare to meet at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
We say: Hertha Berlin 1-1 Wolfsburg
This match is a tight one to call due to the relative struggles of both teams in terms of performances, if not results. Despite Wolfsburg's much higher finish in the Bundesliga last season, we believe that this one will be a score draw due to Wolfsburg being away from home.

VfL Bochum and Mainz 05 meet at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday afternoon on the second weekend of the new Bundesliga season.
The two sides began their new campaigns in different manners last weekend, with a defeat for Bochum but a win for Mainz.
We say: VfL Bochum 0-1 Mainz 05
Both of these sides would be expected to be struggling near the bottom of the table come May, but with Mainz continuing on from their excellent form of last season with a fantastic win over Leipzig, it is hard to see past them. Bochum look like they are in for a long and hard season, while Mainz could be a dark horse for a top-half finish should their momentum continue.

Greuther Furth vs. Arminia Bielefeld (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Greuther Furth will welcome Arminia Bielefeld to the Trolli-Arena for their first home game of the 2021-22 Bundesliga season, as they look to respond after suffering a 5-1 loss against Stuttgart on the opening day.
The visitors will also be looking for their first three points after a goalless draw against Freiburg last week, with each squad aiming to climb up the league table.
We say: Greuther Furth 0-1 Arminia Bielefeld
This is a fixture between two of the favourites for relegation, therefore it will prove to be a crucial match for both teams, but with Greuther Furth in poor form, the advantage is there for the visitors.
Coming into the game with a DFB-Pokal victory and a draw in the first game of the season should provide Arminia Bielefeld with enough confidence to earn the win here, in what could be a close game.

B. Leverkusen vs. Borussia M'bach (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Two of the Bundesliga's European hopefuls for the season meet in the highlight match of the weekend on Saturday evening, as Bayer Leverkusen host Borussia Monchengladbach.
Both sides began their campaigns with 1-1 draws on the opening weekend, so will be looking for their first league wins at BayArena.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
We expect Leverkusen to continue their impressive recent record over Monchengladbach here, with home advantage playing an important part. It will probably be a tight match between two of the teams seeking European qualification, but Leverkusen should just edge this one.
