I hope that you enjoyed yesterday’s matches in the German Bundesliga because there will be a Sunday tripleheader on Fox Sports 1 (FS1). Here is the schedule.
FC Augsburg at Schalke 04 – 7:30 AM EST.
Red Bull Leipzig at Mainz 05 – 9:30 AM EST.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 1895 at FC Koln – 12:00 PM EST.
Although these three games are not marquee match-ups, they all have major significance in the standings. Augsburg and Mainz 05 desperately need wins since they are only four points away from the relegation zone. Dusseldorf could almost be out of the relegation zone because they are the team that is four points behind Augsburg and Mainz 05.
FC Koln (pronounced like cologne) can smell good again with a victory. A win would put Koln in ninth place. Schalke 04 can take advantage of losses by Freiburg and Wolfsburg yesterday to move into sixth place, which is the final qualifying spot to appear in the Europa League next season.
Red Bull Leipzig currently sit in fifth place. A win would propel Leipzig into third place and back into a place to qualify for the Champions League next season. A loss or a tie would mean that RBL would not have a chance to win the Bundesliga title.

Dusseldorf was up 2-0 with five minutes left to play, but Koln stopped smelling funky and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Red Bull Leipzig ended up winning 5-0 at Mainz 05. Timo Werner led RBL with a hat trick. So far, both road teams won their matches. Let’s see if the trend continues.
Red Bull Leipzig is up 4-0 on Mainz in the 70th minute, so this one is pretty much over as well.
Augsburg pulled off the upset and won 2-0 at Schalke. Schalke did not bring maximum effort in this match.

I’m glad that it is back too. So far, you are two for two

It’s good that you are on a roll. You will be able to keep the momentum going because they will be playing games during the middle of this week as well. You will be able to make more picks this week.
