Talking points ahead of matchday three

Who will be the first to slip-up?

So far, five teams: Dortmund, Leipzig, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, and Freiburg have picked up six points out of six from the opening two rounds. Certainly, someone will eventually slip up at some point, and most people will likely pick Freiburg to be the first.

Although they're in action against Koln, who have yet to win a game so far this season, Freiburg finished in 13th place last campaign and have a reputation for bouncing back and forth between the top tier and the 2.Bundesliga. So if anyone who's bound to see their nascent 100 per cent winning record crumble this round, it's bound to be them.

Of course, anything is possible, and they may go three wins from three games, and it could be Dortmund, Leipzig, Wolfsburg, or Leverkusen who may see their perfect record end at the end of this round as well. But it's likely that Freiburg could be among one of those sides, too.

The overdependence on Lewandowski reaching new heights - and it's surely a worrying fact for the club so early on in the season

Bayern have scored five goals so far. And who's scored all of them? That's right, none other than Robert Lewandowski. The Polish international's hat-trick against Schalke helped secure a victory for die Roten, and it was his brace that bailed them out from what would have been an embarrassing opening day loss to Hertha Berlin.

While this has helped propel the 31-year-old into an early lead in the goal-scoring charts, Bayern certanly don't want to become too overdependent on Lewandowski at this stage in the campaign.
