Joker
There are a lot of evenly matched teams since six of the top seven teams play each other but my Bundesliga Predictor joker pick of the week will be Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 SV Werder Bremen. The 3rd placed team has lost two games in a row but I expect them to bounce back strong this week. Another honourable mention is Schalke 1-3 Hoffenheim.
