Bundesliga

Eintracht Frankfurt

21:30 Doha time

1. FC Köln

Five 1. FC Köln players are ruled out for the trip to Frankfurt, a serious blow for a side already sitting 10th. Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, have conceded in every league game this season.

Bundesliga

Hamburger SV

16:30 Doha time

VfB Stuttgart

Hamburger SV have conceded 15 goals in their last five league games, a problem they must solve against a VfB Stuttgart side level with them on points. Both clubs sit on six points, separated by little more than goal difference.

Bundesliga

FC Schalke 04

16:30 Doha time

FSV Mainz 05

Schalke need points badly and Mainz are looking to climb further up the table when the two sides meet on Saturday. The contrast between a host still waiting for a home goal and a visitor scoring freely on the road makes this one worth watching.

Bundesliga

SV Elversberg

16:30 Doha time

FC Augsburg

Augsburg have scored 13 goals in their last five matches, but a long injury list will test whether that attacking edge holds on the road at Elversberg. The hosts have their own absences to worry about.

Bundesliga

Union Berlin

16:30 Doha time

Borussia Dortmund

Union Berlin host the Bundesliga's second-placed side on Saturday with a points deficit that leaves little room for error. Dortmund, unbeaten in the league this season, arrive in confident mood.

Bundesliga

Werder Bremen

16:30 Doha time

SC Paderborn 07

Seventh-placed Bremen have eight points from five games, but nine absences leave them with a patched-together squad against a Paderborn side near the foot of the table.

Bundesliga

Bayern München

19:30 Doha time

RB Leipzig

Bayern sit third on 11 points and Leipzig fifth on nine, so this Saturday meeting in Munich could reshape the race near the top of the table.
