    Bundesliga round 6

    Schalke v Wolfsburg
    Bochum v Mainz
    Stuttgart v Cologne
    Hannover v Dortmund
    Monchengladbach v Hoffenheim
    Bayern v Nurnberg
    Eintracht v Hamburg
    Hertha v Freiburg
    Leverkusen v Bremen

    Difficult to pick a game of the week in round six, but if it's goals you want, try Bayern against Nurnberg. The Bavarians are running hot at the moment and come into this one the back of eight goals in two games, three in the Champions League. Nurnberg won't have faced up to a twin threat suck as Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben many times before and they look like lambs to the slaughter. Gladbach against Hoffenheim could be a contender with two sides that want to play and the Friday offering sees Felix Magath line up against the side he took to Bundesliga glory last season. Suspect league results were brushed aside as Wolfsburg recorded a win in their first ever Champions League game, 3-1 against CSKA, while the full financial situation in Gelsenkirchen is yet to emerge. It looks grim.

    Leverkusen and Bremen are both going well and face off against one another this weekend, Hertha host Freiburg with the visitors above them in the table, Dortmund look to put last week's drubbing behind them when they go to Hannover, Stuttgart's poor showing in Europe can be properly assuaged with a win over rock bottom Cologne and Mainz's decent start shouldn't be tested too much by Bochum.
