Get your printable guide – German Bundesliga Matchday 18
The one-month break in the German Bundesliga is finally over as football made in Germany returns this very week with Schalke 04 hosting Hannover 96 on Friday night.
All eyes will be on Bayern Munchen following their announcement of Pep Guardiola succeeding Jupp Heynckes as coach in summer. The giants comfortably seat at the top of the German Bundesliga standings with a nine-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen and a 12-point cushion over reigning champions Borussia Dortmund.
While all seems good for Bayern, teams like Stuttgart and Wolfsburg are aiming to put their 2012 troubles behind them and push higher in the standings. Meanwhile, the bottom three – composed of Hoffenheim, Augsburg and Greuther Furth – will remain unchanged whatever happens on Matchday 18.
