The order is slowly taking his expected place in Bundesliga: now Bayern are joint leaders again with Wolfsburg, and Borussia Dortmund are 1 point behind with Leverkusen. They all threaten to dig more gap with the rest of the table in this easy fixture, tricky apparently only for Dortmund in the Borussia derby.

Greuther Furth vs. Bayern Munich

It was already clear that Bayern was fully back in force, cause you don't win largely in Camp Nou if you aren't. Possibly the most impressive thing is not that win, but that the Bavarians 4 days later completely wiped away Bochum 7-0, when actually they needed much less. This Bayern approach of giving your best because simply is what you do naturally is what scares the most of the others. Whereas the others must put their effort to stay focused after an important win, and that means a bit of psychological stress, Bayern instead just goes with all.

Against Bochum, they've not even conceded, and that's also important news considering that their defence is far from being sharp. Like Bochum, Greuther too have huge issues in finding the net. In Bayern games is becoming more and more difficult to find any value on a bet including their win, so the combo Bayern to win and 'both teams scoring NO' is definitely bringing brilliant odds.

Gladbach vs. Dortmund

Saturday, September 25, 2021 - 12:30 PM EDT at Borussia Park

This great derby comes in the best moment for Dortmund, fixing their game management issues, and worst for Gladbach, able to beat only Arminia in 5 games. You can bet that Dortmund will always leave chances, will never go smooth for a boring win, and will produce entertainment overall.

But step by step they are growing their ability of not getting lost, of staying into the game, well basically to acquire the right mentality to compete for the very top. The odds on Dortmund win are extremely good considering the quality mismatch, especially as said cause Gladbach have completely lost the plot and are on the path of building back their identity, and you don't want to be in the mid of that search when you have to host Dortmund. And consider that the latter collected 11 wins in the last 12 Bundesliga games.

Leverkusen vs. Mainz

And if odds on Dortmund are good for an away win on the Borussia derby, those on Leverkusen to win at home against Mainz are slightly lower but much better in terms of value. The Leverkusen performance is maybe shadowed only by Wolfsburg breakthrough start, otherwise is absolutely remarkable what is happening.

Bayer lost at the last gasp with Dortmund and conceded a draw at Union, but otherwise is being focused as a great team. True, Mainz are showing themselves tough, 5 goals scored and none conceded in the last 3 games, but in fairness, the scheduling has massively helped them, and their merit is having been solid against similar or minor teams, but their quality is still pretty limited. Therefore the odds on Bayer could be a particular circumstance that must not be overlooked at all.
