Bundesliga returns

Football is back, and this weekend, action returns in Germany with the restart of the Bundesliga this Saturday on May 16.

All eyes will be on Germany following the suspension of all major leagues, after the Covid-19 outbreak. Just last weekend, the K-League resumed and what an exciting time to place your bets on Kenya’s best betting sites.

Bayern Munich has a four-point lead over second placed Borussia Dortmund. Going by their pedigree and form over the past seasons, they are still top favorites to win the title this season. Dortmund entered the lockdown in better shape, but will be without Axel Witsel and Emre Can. The Black and Yellow return to action with a home fixture to Schalke 04 and are favorites to win this one.

The picture at the bottom of the log looks clear, with Paderborn all but been relegated. They face Fortuna Düsseldorf in a big deciding match. Werder Bremen are also in the red and face a tricky fixture against Bayer Leverkusen. The Revierderby is the highlight this weekend at 4:30PM and with both sides keen to get off to a flyer, this will be an exciting contest.

Dortmund are second on the log,just four points behind leaders Bayern Munich whom they will eye to unseat. At 37 points, a place in the Europa League is in reach for Schalke but will be cautious to avoid getting caught up by Wolfsburg, Freiburg and Hoffenheim who are just 1 and 2 points away, respectively..

Before the Covid-19 break, Dortmund were on a four-match winning streak and had also won seven out of the eight fixtures against Schalke, outscoring them 27-9. They also have plenty of attack firepower, with Jordan Sancho, Erling Braut Haaland and Marco Reus scoring a combined 34 goals this year.

Frankfurt has the sixth best home record in the Bundesliga, though with the resumption of the season, there will be no advantage of home fans. They are four points off the relegation zone and will be keen to get maximum points. Monchengladbach have a powerful defense, having conceded 30 goals this year, and only 14 on the road. They have a chance in the title, though very slim, but have a genuine opportunity to play in the Champions League.
