B. Leverkusen vs. FC Koln (Sunday, 2.30pm)
Bayer Leverkusen can head into the upcoming international break top of the Bundesliga should they defeat FC Koln on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, have collected just one point from their opening six matches to sit rock-bottom, making this a crucial match at both ends of the table.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 FC Koln
Despite having had significantly less rest time than Koln due to their European involvements on Thursday evening, we expect Leverkusen to head into the upcoming international break at the top of the table by recording a comfortable win on Sunday.
Koln's dreadful form so far this season has been slightly surprising given that they have been a solid outfit since Baumgart's appointment over two years ago, but they appear set for a difficult campaign this time around, which is in stark contrast to their high-flying opponents under Alonso.

Bayern vs. Freiburg (Sunday, 4.30pm)
After dropping points in their last league match, reigning champions Bayern Munich will expect to return to winning ways against Freiburg on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, secured a comfortable 2-0 win against Augsburg last weekend to move onto 10 points after six games.
We say: Bayern Munich 3-0 Freiburg
While Freiburg still possess plenty of talent in attacking areas, their defensive and midfield areas are undoubtedly weakened by injuries and Hofler's suspension at present, meaning we do not give them much hope of shutting Bayern out.
The Bavarians have gone up a gear in attack as a result of signing England striker Kane from Tottenham Hotspur during the summer, and they should have more than enough about them to secure a comfortable win on Sunday, particularly with two days' greater rest in their favour.

Frankfurt vs. Heidenheim (Sunday, 6.30pm)
Eintracht Frankfurt will be aiming to recover from their first defeat of the season when they host Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the contest level on points with their forthcoming opponents, which not many people would have predicted after six matches.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Heidenheim
Although Frankfurt will understandably head into this match as favourites, the loss of Randal Kolo Muani to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the summer transfer window has clearly hit them hard, and their results may suffer until the France forward is belatedly replaced in January.
Heidenheim will be fresher and more confident having had no European involvements in midweek and beaten Union Berlin last time out, and we can envisage them returning home with another point to add to their growing tally.
