Top Bundesliga games to watch on Matchday 5
Dortmund vs VFL Bochum: Matchday 5 in the Bundesliga kicks off with the Little Rivierderby as Dortmund host VFL Bochum with the goal of returning to winning ways. The hosts resume their German top-flight campaign on the back of last weekend's horrible defeat against Stuttgart, with Nuri Sahin's men losing 5-1 at the MHPArena last Sunday. That result brought BVB's unbeaten start to an end, having won two of their three Bundesliga fixtures before that — they also drew nil-nil away to Werder Bremen. Bochum, on the flip side, are yet to win a game this season, losing all but one of their first four matches. That sole exception was last weekend's 2-2 draw with Holstein Kiel but can the visitors pick up a point or all three at the Signal Iduna Park?

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg: The hosts will be keeping a close eye on this weekend's top-of-the-table clash — more on that later — as RB Leipzig look to climb up the table. Die Roten Bullen are in fifth, with Marco Rose's men failing to win their last two Bundesliga fixtures in a row. Those two games ended in goalless draws, with a 2-1 UEFA Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid sandwiched in between. The visitors, on the flip side, are 12th in the table with only one win to their name. Additionally, Augsburg lost last weekend and will face an uphill battle to return to winning ways.

Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen: And finally, we have not only one of the standout games in the Bundesliga, but one of the most exciting games in Europe. Reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen visit Bayern Munich, the team most likely to wrestle the Meisterschale out of their grip. The Bavarians currently top the table, winning four out of four, scoring a whopping 16 goals, and conceding only three. Xabi Alonso's men, meanwhile, saw their unbeaten run come to an end on Matchday 2 when they lost 3-2 at home to RB Leipzig. However, Wirtz and Co. have won every other match and are only three points behind Kompany's side. Die Werkself are unlikely to leapfrog Bayern Munich in the table with a win due to the gap in goal difference but Alonso's side must win at all cost. The Bavarians, on the flip side, seek revenge after failing to beat Leverkusen at home.
