Talking points ahead of matchday five

Paderborn and Hertha Berlin - Who will finally win their first match?

It's a battle between the two sides who have yet to win a game so far this season, and surely someone will have to come out on top. The question is: Will it be Paderborn or Hertha Berlin? Or will their efforts cancel each other out? The two sides sit in 17th and 18th respectively and unless something changes, they are the two teams who will be relegated to the 2.Bundesliga next season.

Will we see any changes in the league table?

Certainly, it's possible. At the moment, with Leipzig being held to a draw, if they fail to win their upcoming match against Werder Bremen and Bayern, as expected, cruise to a victory over Koln, die Bullen could lose their top standing by the time matchday five ends on Monday.

Dortmund could also throw themselves back into the mix with a win over Frankfurt as well, so indeed, things in the top five could look a lot different by the time settles. It's going to be a very interesting next few days of action, that's for sure.
