If FC Bayern wins once morest Freiburg on Sunday evening and Thomas Müller is actively involved, the world champion, like his still injured colleague Manuel Neuer, can call himself the record winner in Bundesliga history. Both would win 322 games.
Mats Hummels can even become the record winner in the Borussia Dortmund club rankings and overtake Michael Zorc. Both have 206 wins.
Union, Stuttgart, Hoffenheim and Augsburg are aiming for club records and Heidenheim has a special duel with Tasmania Berlin.
Borussia Monchengladbach – Mainz 05
They are meeting in the Bundesliga for the 35th time. Borussia is still ahead (14-10-10), but has been without a win in this duel for five games. Most recently, Mainz even won her twice.
Both are currently working on black streaks: Borussia is still pointless at home, Mainz away. Borussia lost their first three home games in the Bundesliga for the first time, Mainz are without a win in eleven league games for the first time in the Bo Svensson era, who played for both clubs – and are last.
What encourages Borussia: they won nine of the last eleven duels once morest bottom teams.
Borussia Dortmund – Union Berlin
In this duel, Dortmund won 75% of all games (6-0-2). At home there were only victories, Union only forced a draw following 90 minutes in Dortmund as a second division team – unfortunately in the cup (2016 and 2018), where there is extra time and penalty shootouts. Borussia ultimately prevailed there too.
It doesn’t look like the first Union points will be won at the moment, the Berliners are coming off a series of six defeats in competitive games – the longest since the 2004/05 preliminary round in the regional league. In the Bundesliga there is a risk of a possible fifth defeat in a row, a club record, as well as if they remain goalless for the third time (record setting).
BVB, on the other hand, only lost one of their last 25 Bundesliga games, not at home 18 times – and they scored consistently in their last 54 home games. Mats Hummels would become the new record holder with his 207th Bundesliga win in the BVB uniform, Michael Zorc is threatened with replacement following 25 years.

RB Leipzig – VfL Bochum
History and the present speak for RB. Leipzig won seven of eight competitive games once morest VfL, except the last one (0-1 in Bochum). At home there were 12:1 goals from four duels, two of which were in the 2nd league.
In the Bundesliga it was 3-0 and last year it was 4-0. RB is currently unbeaten in seven home games in the upper house and in October there was no defeat in Leipzig since 2011 (0-1 in the cup once morest Augsburg) and none in the Bundesliga (10-2-0).
The Bochum team, on the other hand, are still waiting for their first win of the season, like last year, and have conceded the most goals both away and overall.
FC Augsburg – Darmstadt 98
The two played 34 league games, mostly in the second division. There have only been four meetings in the Bundesliga and FCA is leading (2-1-1). But the only defeat came at home (0:2 on October 17, 2015). In Augsburg there was only a 0-0 draw, in 1997 in the Regionalliga Süd.
After a bumpy start, the two are currently neighbors in the table (14th and 15th) with one win each this season. Augsburg took all the points at home, where they are still unbeaten. If it stayed that way following four home games, it would be a novelty in Augsburg’s Bundesliga history. Darmstadt is still waiting for the first away point.
VfB Stuttgart – VfL Wolfsburg
The two are entering their 25th Bundesliga year together. Only in 2003 was there the same table constellation, the second place hosted the seventh and won 1-0 – then following nine match days.
VfB victories have become rarer in recent times, last year Wolfsburg won both games and increased the record (19-7-22) in their favor – which is why VfL has not celebrated any more Bundesliga victories once morest any opponent. Both teams have yet to draw this season.
VfB is currently unbeaten in seven games in Stuttgart and is first in the home table (three wins). He won his last four games by at least two goals and can now break the record from the Jogi Löw era from March 1997 – there have never been five clear victories in a row. But Alex Reed coach Niko Kovac won five of his six duels once morest VfB.

Werder Bremen – TSG Hoffenheim
On April 19, 2014, Werder beat TSG 3-1 in Bremen. Since then they have been waiting for another home win, five of the following eight games ended 1-1 and there were three draws. There was only a 0-0 draw in the second of 28 meetings (2009).
The home balance for Werder is only very positive (4-7-3). But now Werder has rediscovered its home strength and celebrated two wins in a row, the last time they had more in the Bundesliga in March/April 2019 (three). New home strength meets away strength that has not been seen for a long time: TSG won all three away games of the season and would set a club record in the Bundesliga with a fourth win.
Bayer Leverkusen – 1. FC Cologne
In the last two seasons there was no home win in the Rhine derby, and Cologne even celebrated two victories in Leverkusen. It’s hard to imagine that it will be a hat trick, the teams are worlds apart.
Leverkusen never started a season better and salutes from the top of the table, Cologne only started a season just as badly in 1992 and 2017 (one point).
The offensive spectacle that was long on the program under Steffen Baumgart is history: in eight games, none of which were won, FC scored at most one goal. In addition, Cologne are 19 games without a win once morest a league leader.
Although Bayer doesn’t need any encouragement, they are happy to note that they are unbeaten in seven games on Sundays.

Bayern Munich – SC Freiburg
The memory is still fresh: in April, SC won the cup quarter-finals (2-1) in Munich with a last-minute penalty. It was Freiburg’s only victory to date in Munich, where FC Bayern will be pushing for revenge.
So far he has only allowed SC three points from 23 games in his living room. In the duel between the currently most experienced Bundesliga coaches, there was only one winner: Thomas Tuchel.
His league record once morest Christian Streich: 6-2-0. Thomas Müller’s Freiburg record is even more impressive (13-5-1). Good conditions for his renewed attempt to overthrow Manuel Neuer from the throne.
Neuer still has the most Bundesliga wins (322) and has been missing for ten months, Müller can catch up on Sunday. It can hardly be assumed that Neuer is keeping his fingers crossed for the SC. But Müller’s attack should be a motivation to get fit even faster…
If Bayern scores three goals, the liquor bottles will be circling: you would then have 4,444 Bundesliga goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt – 1. FC Heidenheim
The third Sunday game is pairing number 948 in the Bundesliga and a game with almost no history. They have never played in a league to date, there was a cup game on December 20, 2017.
Eintracht won 2-1 away following extra time, with a certain Sebastian Haller scoring the winning goal. They might really use the current Dortmund team, no team has scored fewer goals than the Hessians, who also conceded the fewest goals.
So while Eintracht games have the lowest goals (average 1.5), FCH guarantees a spectacle (average 3.83). Eintracht is unbeaten at home in 2023 (13 games) and only lost one of the last 15 duels once morest promoted teams.
Heidenheim is still waiting for the first away win in its young Bundesliga history, with which they would give the Red Lantern back to Tasmania Berlin in the all-time table.
