All season long premium subscribers will receive exclusive previews for the upcoming round of Bundesliga fixtures. Today, game week 2 kicks off!

Die Rotten Bullen were put to the sword by far superior Bayer 04. The ultimate 3:2 scoreline largely flattered an away side that only woke up in the final 30 minutes. To lose narrowly to another ambitious dark-horse title contender is not unforgivable, but things won’t be getting much easier when Stuttgart visits this Friday.
