VfL Bochum vs. Bayern (Sunday, 2.30pm)

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich will hope to bounce back from their Champions League humiliation against Barcelona when they travel to face VfL Bochum at Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga.

Managerless Bochum are last in 18th place with just one point after seven matches and are already six points from automatic safety, while Bayern are first with 17 points from their seven league games and are one of two unbeaten teams left in the top flight.

We say: VfL Bochum 0-5 Bayern Munich

Bayern have been rampant goalscorers of late, and it would not be surprising if they won by multiple goals on Sunday.

Additionally, given Bochum do not yet have a permanent replacement for Zeidler, the hosts may not struggle to perform to their maximum.

Union Berlin vs. Frankfurt (Sunday, 4.30pm)

After succumbing to champions Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, Eintracht Frankfurt are set to travel to Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Sunday when they will take on Union Berlin in their eighth Bundesliga game of the season.

The hosts are in fifth place with 14 points from seven games and beat Holstein Kiel 2-0 on October 20, while Frankfurt lost 2-1 against Leverkusen and the result left them in sixth place with 13 points.

We say: Union Berlin 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt

Given Union Berlin's excellent defensive record, it is difficult to see them conceding more than once on Sunday.

However, Eintracht Frankfurt have been strong away from home recently, and it would not be surprising if they fought their hosts to a draw.

Heidenheim vs. Hoffenheim (Sunday, 6.30pm)

Heidenheim will be looking to bounce back from their defeat last time out in the Bundesliga when they host Hoffenheim at Voith-Arena on Sunday in their eighth league game of the season.

The home team are in 10th place with nine points and lost 3-2 against Borussia Monchengladbach on October 19, while the away side are fifth last in 14th place with seven points after seven matchweeks.

We say: Heidenheim 1-1 Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim are in somewhat better form of late, but their poor away record makes it difficult to see them taking all three points on Sunday.

However, Heidenheim's home record is not particularly strong, and it would not be surprising if both sides came away from the clash with a point.
