On this week’s Bundesliga preview show, Manu and Stefan take a look at three games in particular that have caught their eye this weekend. They kick things off with Mainz vs St Pauli and break down why Bo Henriksen’s side have been perhaps the biggest surprise package of the season and whether they could truly push for Europe come the end of the season. They then turn their attention to another aspiring continental club in Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are hoping to continue their impressive start to 2025 with a win over Augsburg. Are the Foals just a one-man team or is there more to it than that? The dynamic duo then wrap up the show by previewing Eintracht Frankfurt’s trip to Bayern Munich, where the Eagles will surely be looking to take advantage of an injury to Harry Kane to take all three points from Vincent Kompany’s side. Enjoy!
