DFB Pokal starts today and the Bundesliga starts next week. I know most here are EPL fans but since I'm a captive audience I follow the Bundesliga exclusively.
Any thoughts headed into the season?
My Champions League picks:
Bayern München
Schalke
Dortmund
Mönchengladbach
Europe League:
Leverkusen
RB Leipzig
Stuttgart or Werder Bremen (if 3 qualify)
Relegation Battle:
Wolfsburg
Eintracht Frankfurt
Freiburg
Düsseldorf
Nürnburg
My boys Mainz 05 are AGAIN rebuilding after being gutted of their best players (a yearly occurrence) but they are spending some decent money on good young talent (I wish they would invest in an experienced trainer but they seem to like to promote from within). I think we'll start slow but get rolling headed towards the winter break. With some luck we could be just outside looking in on Europe, but if bounces go against us we could be flirting with relegation. That seems to be the story of the bottom 2/3 of the league; parity reigns and nerves are frayed.
