Another action-packed weekend kicks off across Europe’s top leagues. In the Bundesliga, the tenth matchday features several exciting games. On Saturday, Kompany’s Bayern Munich visits St. Pauli, aiming for their fourth consecutive league win, and fifth including the Champions League. The Bavarians are the only unbeaten team in the Bundesliga, with 7 wins and 2 draws, boasting the best offense with 32 goals and the second-best defense with only 7 goals conceded, trailing Leipzig with 5.
Leipzig, struggling in the Champions League with four straight losses, sits three points behind Bayern and will try to keep pace at home against Borussia Monchengladbach. Fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund looks to build on their recent win over Leipzig with an away match against Mainz.
An intriguing matchup sees Stuttgart taking on Eintracht Frankfurt, with the visitors benefiting from the Egyptian talent of Marmoush, the league's second top scorer with 10 goals, just behind Kane's 11. After their Champions League drubbing by Liverpool (a 4-0 loss at Anfield), defending German champions Bayer Leverkusen, managed by Xabi Alonso, head to last-place Bochum, who hold the league’s worst defense, conceding 29 goals.
