Leverkusen On Top Heading Into The Winter Break
Bayer Leverkusen have held on to the top of the table by extending their unbeaten streak to 25 games over all competitions, when they manhandled Christoph’s VfL Bochum 4-0 behind a Patrik Schick hat-trick.
BVB Dortmund on the other hand are having a hard time and are only in fifth place after their draw with lowly Mainz 05. Dortmund is already 6 points behind fourth place Leipzig and coach Edin Terzic and Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl will have to do a lot of soul searching over Christmas.
In the basement, 1. FC Köln are looking like they might need to be looking for a new manager, as Steffen Baumgart has made some remarks regarding his future, that should sound all the alarms. Especially given that his relationship with Sporting Director Keller isn’t the best.
Tune in for all the results and analysis!
And please send us your questions for next week’s end of year special!
