There is only one match in the German Bundesliga tonight. Augsburg are playing Mainz 05. Augsburg started the season badly. But they beat St. Pauli in their last game. They had serious problems in defense in the first games. They conceded 2 goals against Werder Bremen and 4 against Heidenheim. On the other hand, Mainz 05 looked like a more balanced team. But they too conceded very easy goals due to their defensive problems. After drawing in the first two weeks, they lost to Werder Bremen in the last week. I will bet on both teams to score in this match. Both teams made critical mistakes in defense in the last games.
Augsburg vs Mainz
Augsburg (confirmed lineup): Nediljko Labrovic, Maximilian Bauer, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Keven Schlotterbeck, Marius Wolf, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Ruben Vargas, Samuel Essende.
Mainz (confirmed lineup): Robin Zentner, Dominik Kohr, Moritz Jenz, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Anthony Caci, Philipp Mwene, Kaishu Sano, Nadiem Amiri, Hyun-Seok Hong, Armindo Sieb, Jonathan Burkardt.
Augsburg and Mainz have begin the fourth match of the season, they just had three matches, Augsburg have only a win, a draw and one defeat while Mainz haven't win any, secured 2 draw and faced one defeat, and tonight they are playing away game and Augsburg will not like to be disgrace by Mainz to secure their first win of the season, with this I think Augsburg will play harder to secure victory tonight.

It is too early to talk about who will win the title because the season has only been running for 3 matches. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are the strongest candidates to win the trophy this season based on their performance in the last few matches. Both clubs have also just achieved great success in the UCL after beating their opponents with promising scores. Munich have been in scintillating form this season under Kompany They are entitled to top the standings after getting perfect points in three matches. Meanwhile, Leverkusen's unbeaten record last season was tarnished in the second game when they hosted Leipzig at the BayArena stadium.Both teams have good players who understand the needs and goals of the team, they play very flexible and are able to make a difference in the match, The competition between the two will continue to compete for first place.
Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Leverksen are the three favorites in my opinion, but Leipzig cannot be underestimated. You are certainly right that it is only the start of the season and things can change quickly for each team, but usually the teams that will be dominant will emerge from the start of the season and they tend to be eager to maintain their performance compared to others.
I can't believing with Bayern Munich performance in this season although have lack experienced with their manager but success winning bigger score every match and recently Dinamo Zagreb over 9-2.
I think Bundesliga season 2024/25 become more interested of three teams above have consistent performance until at the last games week because last season Bayern Leverkusen easily for winning domestic league tittle after Bayern Munich as top competitor team difficult defend their top performance.
Leverkusen are returning to the Bundesliga with a really improved morale after a huge 4-0 win over Feyenoord. I'm sure it will reflect on their next game here against Wolfsburg home as well. 
Maybe they were caught off guard against Leipzig at the beginning but just like I said, this doesn't change anything for Xabi Alonso's students. They just continue to roll... I expect no point loss before the tough away game against Bayern Munich in a week. In that game, there are just a lot of betting opportunities on the table.
It will be difficult to make a choice among them.
But I won't go for a bet on any side to win that's for sure.

I am sure that Kompany could become a good coach eventually but he is just to new to this and that is why I feel like he is doing something that is beyond his years. He talked about how he broke them old and did more than what was destined for him by becoming this much, but that was something he did with step by step, he didn't started football at 20 years old and became Man City legend at 21 years old, he grew from kid to adulthood as a player and worked hard to do all of those, whereas he had just one year of premier league where he relegated and then became Bayern Munich manager, those are not the same things and that jump is something he has never done before which is why his confidence may help during the season but I am pretty sure that he is going to have a very tough time.
It doesn't really mean that he is going to end up with a good result just because he will have some hard time but I am sure that given enough time he will become a good coach.
This contradicts our previous assumptions in pre-season and I think everyone believed that Bayern's decision was too hasty, right? It doesn't really mean that he is going to end up with a good result just because he will have some hard time but I am sure that given enough time he will become a good coach.
Now we just need to see what surprises Kompany will bring to the table in their current competition. The season has already started to take on a rigorous schedule where some of the big clubs are already faced with more than just one competition considering the Champions League has already started and smaller domestic competitions are also ready to go.
If in the end Kompany can rotate players well and be consistent in his performance then indeed this will be a very good situation for Kompany but for now he cannot be proud of his achievements because after all he still has to be humble especially the season is still very long to do so there could be an unfavorable situation later for Kompany and he must be prepared for it.

Brugge is actually not a difficult opponent for Dortmund, but Dortmund's victory also indicates that the Dortmund team is starting to develop at the start of this season regardless of the final results they get, but I highlight the Dortmund team's game under their new coach and indeed they have positive progress and that indicates that there will be an increasing performance if they can maintain their consistency.
We can't say completely that brugge isn't a really difficult team because if they should meet again, chances are that they may not get same results and that's because brugge in their domestic league isn't a small team either, they have been really optimal with their performance but Dortmund had a better strength over them in this game and actually did well too, champions League can come with many surprises so I don't see any team really small just yet.But indeed, apart from these results that Dortmund are indeed quite favored to win, so basically Dortmund do have a chance to get it. But with this victory also does not mean that it will make Dortmund easy for the next matches, because there are still many more difficult matches later, because later Dortmund will also play against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champion League later.
Soon we will watch the Augsburg vs Mainz match which will be held at Augsburg's home ground, to be honest I really can't be sure about who will get full points in this match because after all these are two teams that are not too favored in the Bundesliga, and I also can't compare who is stronger because last season both teams finished with a narrow points difference in the bottom of the standings.
But maybe I would say that the one who has a greater chance of getting three full points in this match is most likely Augsburg because after all they will be playing at home, I think that's the only thing we can use as a benchmark to at least know who has a greater chance of winning when both teams are equally weak.
Honestly I don't have high hopes for dortmund in the champions league although it is undeniable that they will be able to talk a lot but if we talk about being able to penetrate the final party like last season I still doubt their strength.
However if we talk about the bundesliga yes they are still strong candidates who accompany leverkusen and munich to compete for the trophy but the new league is rolling they have not met each other, for now the performance assessment of nuri sahin is still positive, yes hopefully nuri sahin as a tactician can be consistent in every match and eliminate all doubts that are pinned on him.

Well, after this weekend we will already be a bit smarter as of where Dortmund actually is standing. They will have to play IN Stuttgart, which didn't look bad at the away game at Real Madrid during the week.
I think if BVB can snatch 1 point from this game they would be really happy with that. Until now they have show mediocre performances against mediocre teams. Stuttgart will be the first real test and I am actually curious how they will perform.
Somehow I got a bad feeling about this one and these feelings are often correct. For the sake of being a BVB fan myself I hope I am wrong though!!
Nuri Sahin has managed to overcome their first challenge in the Champions League and let's see if he will be able to lead Dortmund better than the previous coach Edin Terzic?
Managed to make improvements or not, we will see when Dortmund manages to finish this season better than last season. many doubted Nuri Sahin when he was appointed as Dortmund's coach. this is still early and we still haven't seen anything wrong with his coaching. if Dortmund can still maintain the consistency of their game in the long term, surely the views of people who doubt and criticize him will change. not thinking much for the Champions League. at least they can finish this season in a better position than last season.However if we talk about the bundesliga yes they are still strong candidates who accompany leverkusen and munich to compete for the trophy but the new league is rolling they have not met each other, for now the performance assessment of nuri sahin is still positive, yes hopefully nuri sahin as a tactician can be consistent in every match and eliminate all doubts that are pinned on him.
It's very true that to whom much is given, much is also expected, and to be honest, that is the exact situation Vincent company find himself, because with the calibre of players at his disposal in this Bayern Munich team, everyone is expecting him to be successful, and anything short of that, will be term a failure followed with an eminent sack .
While as for xabi Alonso, right now he has nothing to prove because he has earned all the accolades he is getting right now with the achievements of last season, and if the performance of his team declined this season, and they decide to sack him, he wouldn't be short of suitors, I can bet on that.
The big demands are always carried by any coach who handles a big team like Bayern Munich. Kompany is still doubtful to be able to bring Bavarian back to become a champion, but so far he has been quite successful in mixing the team with a series of wins. I don't think Kompany will be fired for this season regardless of the final result. Unlike Alonso, he has made a brilliant record with Leverkusen. Alonso will certainly be fought over by other teams if he steps down from the coaching chair and I am also sure Bayern Munich will also be willing to use his services. While as for xabi Alonso, right now he has nothing to prove because he has earned all the accolades he is getting right now with the achievements of last season, and if the performance of his team declined this season, and they decide to sack him, he wouldn't be short of suitors, I can bet on that.

Let's look at the statistics in this match.
Statistically, Club Brugge is actually not bad, it's just that they are not more effective in taking advantage of every opportunity they have. While Borussia Dortmund can be better in taking advantage of opportunities so that they can create 3 goals in this match. They were successful in the first challenge, but they must be able to show that they can be consistent in the next matches.
We can't say completely that brugge isn't a really difficult team because if they should meet again, chances are that they may not get same results and that's because brugge in their domestic league isn't a small team either, they have been really optimal with their performance but Dortmund had a better strength over them in this game and actually did well too, champions League can come with many surprises so I don't see any team really small just yet.
Although there are no really small teams in the Champions League, it doesn't mean that all teams can be the same in terms of strength and also in terms of tactics so we have to see each team differently so that when we make a comparison between one team and another it can be clearer especially if both are not in the same country. Dortmund in the Bundesliga is a tough team although not really tough if we compare it with Munich and Leverkusen who are in the same League. While Brugge who is in Belgium is certainly very different from a German team like Dortmund.

In addition to not being a very difficult opponent for Dortmund, Brugge itself is also not a very tough team so it is very easy for Dortmund to beat them in the UCL, but in the upcoming match this weekend in the Bundesliga, Dortmund will face an opponent who is quite evenly matched with them, namely Stuttgart. However, I am still more confident in Dortmund's performance because this season Dortmund must still be considered a title contender because its strength has been quite visible in the Bundesliga and also in the UCL this season.
I think if we compare the two young coaches Kompany with Xabi Alonso, coach Kompany still has more favorable conditions when owning a top Bundesliga team. With a star-studded squad, coach Kompany's job is simple, he just needs to help Bayern Munich regain their form. As for Xabi Alonso, he made the impossible possible, when he took a team that was relegated, and Xabi Alonso transformed the team to achieve the achievements they have today.
But in terms of pressure, I think coach Kompany will probably be the one under the most pressure. He is on the knife's edge, the Bayern Munich board can execute Kompany at any time. Just make a mistake.
Both managers have been impressive in their respective clubs but Xabi Alonso has made more impact with Bayern Leverkusen than Kompany has made with Bayern Munich. In terms of pressure I agree with you that Kompany will face more pressure with Bayern Munich because any little slip up someone will lose his job not like Xabi who has already made a name for himself with Leverkusen.But in terms of pressure, I think coach Kompany will probably be the one under the most pressure.

Dortmund had an excellent outing against Brugge, not anything far from expected though. They were and executed everything well and sure enough they got the result they have wanted coming into the game. Dortmund didn’t create as much chances as expected but they were able to capitalize on the chances they had to score three goals in the game.
We have five German clubs in this new edition of the Champions League with three done good jobs and won their games without any problem but Stuttgart and RB Leipzig having the toughest Spanish challenges lost their games but still things were not bad with we can expect good results from them in coming matches even RB Leipzig is having Juventus as opponent, but things are surely going to be on good level for them in this coming game.Borussia Dortmund having good track record in Champions League which is surely going to be helpful for them with Bayern Munich is also good side for all competitions Bayer Leverkusen which is having first season after years are also trying to make thing better for them as they are having well-balanced squad and their coach is also doing good job for having another good season.
The difference I think is because Xabi Alonso made a team that was initially mediocre into an extraordinary team especially last season, while Bayern Munich as we know they are a top class team in the Bundesliga so when Kompany makes the slightest mistake then of course it can lead to various criticisms that can indirectly threaten his future in the coaching chair, there is a difference in pressure from the two coaching situations in each team.
The board of directors gave Kompany the task of winning the league title. This makes sense because Munich is a top team in the Bundesliga and it seems that any coach can win the league title with Munich. This is different from Alonso who has no pressure whatsoever when coaching Leverkusen other than trying to survive in the Bundesliga. But Leverkusen's extraordinary performance last season makes Alonso will be in the spotlight this season. People make Leverkusen a competitor for Munich this season when in terms of player quality they are at a different level. Kompany benefits because all he needs to do is make Munich champions again. Currently Leverkusen will not be able to dominate the league like last season because their tactical weaknesses have been exposed and that is because Leverkusen has average individual quality.
