This weekend's Bundesliga kicks off tonight with Gladbach travelling to Champions-In-Waiting Bayern. Gladbach have won only 5 out of 57 visits there in the Bundesliga, though 4 of those have been in the last 14 years... Time for another as they battle relegation? Prediction time!
Incredible week so far for one of our podcasters 😅😅
We're back with a new episode just in time for the Klassiker tomorrow, obviously there's lots of Bayern & Dortmund chat, as well as plenty of Stuttgart praise, a new manager to discuss at Bremen, and whatever the hell Albert Reira is talking about. Enjoy!

There's still a Friday night game before we get to the issue of Dortmund v Bayern tomorrow. Can Augsburg make it 3 Bundesliga victories in a row when they host Köln tonight? Let's get those predictions in!
We'll soon be recording our next episode as we build up to the Klassiker. Send us your questions! #Bundesliga
When Urs Fischer took over at Mainz they were rock bottom and 9 pts behind HSV. Tonight they host HSV in the Bundesliga and a win would take them only 1 pt behind and well clear of the automatic drop zone. What a turn around so far. Can they do it? Don't forget your predictions!
😂😂 we can still dream!
Whisper it quietly but Dortmund *could* move within 3 points of Bayern tonight with a win against Mainz at home, albeit with Bayern due to play tomorrow. Are Dortmund gonna do Dortmund things? Don't forget your predictions if you're in our Kicktipp League!
Albert Riera's first test as Frankfurt boss comes in the form of an away game at Union Berlin tonight in the Bundesliga's Friday night game. Not the easiest place to go, though Union are yet to win this year.... Get those predictions in if you've forgotten!
Köln vs Wolfsburg tonight in this Friday's serving of the Bundesliga. Köln have lost their last 3 home games against Wolfsburg though they did manage an entertaining 3-3 draw (with a 90+14 minute equaliser) in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Get your predictions in!
We are back for 2026 with our January offering as we cover yet another sacking, this time at Frankfurt. There's a look at life under Baum at Augsburg, where things might be going wrong at Pauli, not to mention a new debutant in the 2. Bundesliga. Enjoy!

Not quite sure how much warmer things are but the games are going ahead tonight! Heads up for those in our predictor league, you can still change your predictions should you wish, just navigate back to the Match Day 16 page.
We'll soon be recording our next episode - send us your questions! #Bundesliga
We do love Friday night games here at the Bundesliga Diaries, but a derby on a Friday night?! Oh baby! It's St Pauli v HSV tonight. Can HSV get revenge for their defeat to Pauli earlier in the season? Those in the UK can watch on the BBC... and don't forget your predictions!
The police claimed immediately after this incident 21 officers were injured, making it sound like fans had caused it. After an inquiry by 'Tagesspiegel' with the police, the only injuries recorded were also symptoms of pepper spray... Yeah, the stupid wankers injured themselves!
From an interview today in 11Freunde:
"A cordon of police officers formed in front of the nearby hospital. This undoubtedly deterred some fans from entering the hospital and seeking treatment. Furthermore, numerous police vehicles blocked access to the hospital"

In their 17 games this season, Bremen have already seen off 4 managers 😅 Following Ten Haag (Leverkusen), Seoane (Gladbach) and Simonis (Wolfsburg), Toppmöller becomes their 4th victim. Not sure what that says about the league's opinion of Bremen 😁
...from the police. Despite multiple attempts from club and fan representatives to start a dialogue with the police about the ongoing issues, this has not been possible. Just another example of the PR bullshit that came out after the IMK regarding wanting dialogue with fans.[3/3]
...Yep - the peaceful folks at the Berlin Police! The Hertha fan scene left the stadium, with the Schalke fan scene leaving shortly after kick off in solidarity. The Hertha Fan Support have labelled this as the low point of a 6 month escalation and provocation spiral...[2/3]
Remember all that fuss that German stadiums aren't safe enough and need more security measures? Well guess who injured over 30 people with pepper spray outside the Olympiastadion at the Hertha Schalke game last night with their aggressive over policing?...[1/3]
After conceding 3 goals for the 3rd game in a row, meaning they now have the worst defence in the league, Frankfurt have sacked Dino Toppmöller. Could only go on so long before Frankfurt had to act, somewhere @mirkchief.bsky.social is having a party night now 😁
Another day, another Bundesliga game! And it's another Friday with Frankfurt, this time away at Bremen. For those in our Kicktipp League - Bremen haven't scored in 3 games, Frankfurt can't stop conceding so bear that in mind for your predictions!
The DFL have announced Bremen v Hoffenheim and St Pauli v Leipzig will now be played on Tuesday 27th January 8:30pm kick off German time. Hopefully things will be a bit warmer by then.
We only have one 'englische Woche' in the Bundesliga this season and it's this week! 4 games tonight starting with Stuttgart v Frankfurt in the early kick off. Then 4 games tomorrow and Augsburg v Union round things off on Thursday. Don't forget your predictions!!!
And then there were 7... Bremen v Hoffenheim has also fallen victim to Storm 'Elli' and has been called off. The area surrounding the Weserstadion looks beautiful but unfortunately it does mean they can't get a game of football on the go.
Well that didn't last long. The Bundesliga game between St Pauli & Leipzig tomorrow has just been called off. As you can see below, Hamburg has seen a lot of snow. Still 8 games left going ahead - we're gonna be very annoyed if we don't see at least one orange ball this weekend!
Don't forget your predictions either! If a game does get called off, don't worry, you'll be able to make changes to your prediction right up until the game finally gets played.
Somehow, all games are currently expected to go ahead, though that may change as more snow comes today. Tonight's game of Frankfurt v Dortmund is actually the least in danger of being called off, so get the Glühwein out, get warm and enjoy the 2026 start to the Bundesliga!
The Bundesliga is back tonight after its winter break... We say winter break - these are the current expected temperatures for all the games this weekend with most of Germany braced for more snow throughout today. Current RealFeel temperature here in Berlin is -14° 🥶
The latest episode of the pod is out! There's two managerial sackings to discuss, we have a look at the Nord Derby and HSV & Bremen in general, some Frankfurt chat, plus an update on the fan protests surrounding the proposed new security measures. Enjoy!
