Actually, in this case we also can't say that Augsburg's performance is good because even though they have started to try to improve and win in the last 3 matches they have run but they also have to accept the fact that they are still not good considering that they have been losing.
Schalke are currently a promoted team and they don't seem ready to talk much about this season in the Bundesliga.

it was because Schalke are in a bad form and Augsburg are the opposite of that, Augsburg proved that their win against Bayern Munich wasn't just lucky, they even scored the winning goal against Schalke with a red card, now they comfortably far from the relegation zone.

Augsburg's victory is truly commendable. They played brilliantly and grabbed the win. I saw all the players of the team playing with passion. The players have done their duty properly. Besides, the coach of their team played a special role. Best of luck to Augsburg for the next match.

With this scoring pace, Augsburg will quickly secure a spot in the Bundesliga for next season. Statistically, to stay in the Bundesliga, you need to score about one point per game on average. Augsburg is ahead of this figure.
In the next round there will be a deadly battle of outsiders: Bayer - Schalke. Who would have thought at the beginning of the championship that this meeting would be for leaving the relegation zone 

It was actually really interesting to see the ending of the match.  because Augsburg had a player sent off when the score was two-two. And I really feel like the first goal from Augsburg was a mistake made by the Schalke goalkeeper. At the same time, it was a good curler from Demirovic. It was a good match for Augsburg. But after the sending off I really thought that Schalke had a great chance of winning that match. This loss puts Schalke into a big danger zone. They are seriously close to the relegation zone. But there is a long time till the season is over and I expect improvements from Schalke.

I think it's safe to say that Bayern Munich are the strongest team in Bundesliga, they lost a match and tied in some but I can confidently say they are the best and they have the best squad, their results aren't the best so far just in Bundesliga, they seemed to be doing really good in Champions League.

Yes, it doesn't make sense that they intentionally lose, what is clear is that they have difficulty scoring goals while dominating the game by creating chances. If they purposely lost the match, what advantage did they get? obviously not there, because they also play a major player. It was completely unreasonable because that would be tantamount to making things difficult for themselves. If you say it's a matter of luck, maybe it's still true, because with a game like that they deserve to win.

I don't think what you think about Bayern Munich loosing their match for sometime to get opponents was a plan work by Bayern Munich. When they started losing their match it was a challenge to them that time.

That was an important victory for Augsburg. As you already wrote it is very important that they score a lot of points at the beginning. The season is long and the more points they score at the beginning the further away they are from place 16
Schalke on the other hand, are already playing against relegation. 6 points from 8 games is very little. Next week they will play against Leverkusen. They also seem to be a candidate to fight against relegation.

I agree that their victory over Bayern Munich was a stroke of luck, because if you look at the statistics of the match it should be a win that belongs to Bayern Munich. But despite all that, Augsburg's performance has improved, although not significantly. But it's good to see their next game. the positive trend they slowly gain and slowly to leave further from the red zone. Their next match will be against Wolfsburg, of course this is not an easy match for them.

Given that their opponent was Augsburg, and we all know what have Augsburg done to Bayern Munich, they made a win against them even though it is just 1 win against Bayern Munich it is a big feat to achieve, well right now next match for Schalke are the Leverkusen and right now I think that Schalke have a slight advantage or they can win against Leverkusen right now,


A team like Augsburg doesn't really have an easy task in getting up the standings, their score with Bayern Munich goes to show that they seem lucky in getting that, and the game stats suggested that Bayern Munich is dominating most of the stats, that is why I am not convinced to them that they would defeat Schalke,  but for me, Schalke still manage to give a good fight by getting the lead against Bayern Munich to a mere 1 goal,

Well, everyone expected more from Union Berlin, something if they told me that Frankfurt was going to play a great game and they did, I have no doubt that Frankfurt is very motivated and they are taking advantage of their good time, right now the Bundesliga can take any direction, I was very surprised by the result of Dortmund, it is incredible that a team that was controlled throughout the game has allowed itself to do that, I think that Dortmund needs a Haaland, someone who takes over the team on their shoulders, they have missed many opportunities, and the bad thing is that in football these opportunities are very difficult for them to come up again.

We are all eventually expecting very good results from Bayer and Dortmund, but these teams are very good and everyone expects very good results from them, but we must not forget that these German teams are not like in other leagues, where they do a lot of emphasis on the stars of the moment, when it was evident that Haaland did not want to be that way, he always stood out, he was a machine, on the other hand at Bayern they had a Lewa who always went for everything and was one of the best, which for me He was the best and worthy winner of the Ballon d'Or, I think that the German teams this time have to recognize that if they lack their stars, and that in some way this has been seen in their results, with some teams they have a hard time winning, and they were teams that failed to have very good results.


The team that needs the most here is Leverkusen, as I understand that you say that Leverkusen can and should win as long as it gives rise to Scalke, but we must not discredit the performance that Schalke has, and although games like the one that Schalke lost, nope they look good standing, I saw that they have a good attack, maybe they need a better alignment to hold up in defense, they are the only one, but I think that every team always fails in their defense, for me any of the two teams can win, no I could judge the performance of one team against another, since game strategies change a lot, it's not the same to play against Leverkusen as it is against Bayern, that's what I mean.

Things get heated and it is better to say things in a press conference, before some corridor gossip is formed.

It is interesting because seeing Bayern and Dortmund in the same position and with a Dortmund in a presumed "crisis" makes this look different.

schalke may win when it will be against leverkusen. Leverkusen was so bad and it has been losing against bayern but this team is having worst performance compared with schalke. I don't even think leverkusen will able to beat schalke.
I may think that leverkusen can win easily against schalke. Schalke is only getting 6 points while leverkusen was still in the relegation zone. That's the worst for leverkusen. Leverkusen must win against schalke or it will be on very hard position.
The gap of leverkusen with another team may be even bigger

In less than a week there is a der Klassiker in Signal Iduna Park. It can feel interesting to see these teams facing each other without Haaland and Lewandowski this time but I still hope to see an enjoyable game. But those two players were playing a huge role in increasing the attention to the biggest game of the league. None of them has such player in their squad now.

It has been four years since Dortmund defeated them here last. If Bayern Munich still turn this into their advantage then they might be likely to get a win again. But I think this game will be very competitive. Bayern Munich seemed very capable against Leverkusen. Dortmund haven't been very impressive in the attacking line as they scored only 11 goals in 8 games. They need to be more productive in each game.

I asked in my mind, if sebastien haller is healthy then he will be one of the top scorers and make dortmund win every match they face? Before going to Man City, Haaland was Dortmund's mainstay striker and Haller was predicted to be his replacement. just imagine if schmitz didn't make an own goal, then dortmund would lose 3-1 to koln, this result is really disappointing especially for the bettors.

They were even ahead in numbers but couldn't make this a win for Schalke.
I was actually worried about the bet I had because I was on Augsburg's side with pretty good odds at the start of the game and I was already happy with their lead in the first half.
But the red card made me want to get out of the bet but luckily I didn't do that.

Union Berlin suffered their first defeat in their most undisciplined match in my opinion. The players could not come to an agreement, it is not clear who will pass where and where the defender throws the ball. This needs to be fixed urgently. They were better before the break. But I was not surprised by the defeat. Frankfurt is a very good team, both as a team and has great supporters. They have an eye-catching lineup of Trapp, Hasebe, Kamada, Götze and others. Trapp has performed well, he's already proven himself. But the goalkeeper was good, it would be absurd to say that they won only because of him. They played better than Union. The referee's red card decision was correct, the referee managed the match very well.

It was obvious from the start; people were too high on Union Berlin and we saw the result. Frankfurt is a great team and has been for a while now, and I always expected them to win. That is an important key factor and we should not be really seeing them as a losing team at almost any game (ok maybe against leipzig, dortmund and bayern).

Bundesliga is always filled with shocking results, Bayerns whole season is filled with shocking results so far, so we can't say that it was ever "obvious" because nothing is obvious in bundesliga. But it is clear that we are looking a better team who had worse odds for some reason and that part was shocking.

Was thinking that Schalke will be win at home against Augsburg , after they was coming back to the draw , sad that Augsburg scored the final winning goal with 10 players.
In the other game between Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim i thought Hoffenheim has the best chances , its good for Hertha to got the draw.
I like it how the table is now on the front with all the close places together and its getting interesting every weekend.

Schalke have struggled in every game this season, given their small spending during the summer transfer window, while the gloomy memory of the German giants having to be relegated from the top flight for the first time in 33 years, still remains a big scar for fans. The defeat suffered against Augsburg makes Schalke still haunted by returning to the second tier. If they don't immediately improve their performance, they will suffer again in the next tougher match.
