I am very surprised with some teams how they play in the Bundesliga. And currently there are teams in the top 10 that I would not have expected to be there at the beginning of the season. For example, Union Berlin and Mainz. I did not watch Mainz in the preparation, but I did not think they would be in the top 5. Union Berlin has already shown in preparation what great morale the team has. I hope it will stay that way.
For the start of the season any result can happen, moreover just five matches so far which are of course teams that are not expected to be in the top rankings but they have the possibility to be in the top row. I personally am not surprised by a position like this because every season in any league of course something like this will happen too, but what happens at the end of the season the top teams will still be at the top of the table. The fact that Bayern Munich and Dortmund are in the top four which of course still looks normal and also, regarding Freiburg, Union Berlin, Mainz, FC Koln and Hoffenheim they have basically improved from last season. So yes, if they are currently still able to maintain that form then that is a big thing for them, certainly not something strange because they managed to maintain their consistency.
In the past, you already knew who was in the top 4 at the end of the season. That was Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Schalke. You could also predict the top 10 pretty well. For several years now, however, many teams have aligned themselves. The former underdogs are now playing so well that they can make it into the top 5.
The question is whether the former underdogs have improved a lot or does have the former top teams become worse?
