Hannover 96 earned on Friday its 1st win in 8 matches against nearby rival VfL Wolfsburg.  Hannover’s first goal came in the 31st minute when 19-year-old Linton Maina scored his first Bundesliga goal off a cross from Ihlas Bebou, and Bebou then immediately scored his own goal off a penalty.  As the 2nd half began, Hannover goaltender Michael Esser successfully fended off a volley of Wolfsburg attempts before Wout Weghorst finally scored Wolfsburg’s only goal, on a penalty in the 81st minute.  Weghorst is, incidentally, Wolfsburg’s top scorer so far this season, with 5 goals, 4 of which have come in his last 6 appearances. Wolfsburg remains 3 points ahead of Hannover in the table though, thanks in part to their top scorer, Bebou, who now has 3 goals this season.  The weekend’s big match, however, is Saturday’s contest between Borussia Dortmund and visiting FC Bayern München. Dortmund are undefeated in the Bundesliga this season and are also the league’s highest-scoring club, but Bayern have won 4 of their 5 away matches this season, and have won 3 of their last 5 visits to Signal Iduna Park.  Saturday’s match is also a clash of personalities: both Lucien Favre and Niko Kovac will be coaching their first Klassiker and the 1. Bundesliga’s leading scorer, Dortmund’s Paco Alcácer, will try to hold off Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 3 goals against Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park.  Another match to watch on Saturday will be the meetup between SV Werder Bremen and visiting Borussia Mönchengladbach. Just 3 points separate the 2 clubs near the top of the table, and Gladbach’s Thorgan Hazard is among the league’s top scorers.  Hazard has scored 7 goals in his last 7 matches, exactly as many as his older brother Eden, of Chelsea. Looking ahead to Sunday, RB Leipzig will host a struggling Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey has only scored 1 goal so far this season, but Bailey recently said he does not regret joining the club early last year, and despite the low goal count has either shot or crossed every 14 minutes he’s been on the pitch.  Also on Sunday, Schalke travels to Frankfurt, whose Luka Jovic has averaged 1 goal every 68 minutes of play. After losing their first 5 matches of the season, Schalke appears to have turned a corner, with summer signing Mark Uth finally beginning to find the net.

Sebastian Haller and Ante Rebic powered Eintracht Frankfurt to their 6th victory in their last 7 competitive matches with a 3:0 shutout of Stuttgart on Friday.  Haller scored the 1st goal of the match just 11 minutes in, after an earlier goal of his in the 5th minute was disallowed on an offsides call. Rebic followed in the 32nd minute with his first-ever Bundesliga header.  Stuttgart’s Mario Gomez and Nico Gonzalez then missed a few opportunities in the 2nd half before Nicolai Müller sealed the victory with another header in the 89th minute. The top 2 scorers in the Bundesliga are now both Frankfurt players, and Haller has already scored more goals this season than he managed in the entire first half of last season.  Stuttgart, meanwhile, are in the midst of their worst-ever Bundesliga season start, having lost 7 of their last 10 contests. Looking to knock both Haller and Jovic from atop the scorers’ table on Saturday will be Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski when Freiburg travels to the Allianz Arena. Freiburg’s record in the Bavarian capital couldn’t be worse: they have yet to win a single match in 28 Bundesliga visits to Bayern, 1860 München, and Unterhaching.  They have, however, been enjoying one of their best-ever season starts in the top league and have managed just 1 point fewer than Bayern in the last 7 matches. Bayern’s Lewandowski has scored 13 goals in just 12 previous meetings with Freiburg. Should Bayern defeat Freiburg on Saturday, Borussia Dortmund will need a win when they travel to Wolfsburg on Saturday to remain at the top of the table. Dortmund are just 1 of 2 clubs in the top 5 divisions in Europe to have not lost a competitive fixture this season.  Dortmund’s Paco Alcacer joins the 2 Frankfurt scorers at the top of the scorers’ table and has found the net, on average, every 18 minutes he has been on pitch. Wolfsburg have been struggling this season and have not scored in their last 3 meetings with Dortmund. Looking ahead to Sunday, the 2 other clubs near the top of the table, Gladbach and Bremen, will play against 2 of the league’s current bottom-dwellers. Both Gladbach and Bremen have 17 points going into this weekend and both could pull into 2nd place, depending on the outcome of the Bayern-Freiburg fixture.
