There has to be a break of about 4 weeks because of scheduling not because of winter. Bundesliga has 34 games a season instead of 38 games a season like other countries. If Bundesliga starts playing now, the season would end in mid April instead of mid May.

Leipzig - Bayern 1-1. Not the best game between them, but at least there was no clear and one-sided Bayern win (unlike the season opener at Eintracht).

What a strange late game: Köln beat Werder Bremen 7-1. Even more surprising was Wolfsburg's 6-0 against Freiburg, who normally are very stable. Nothing new in Berlin: West Berlin with an L, East Berlin with a W.
No away win so far in the 7 Bundesliga games.

2.55, the Wolfsburg win at Hertha (2.55 on Saturday). Easiest money in a while, you rarely get such good opportunities in big leagues.

Bayern only 1-1 (late Kimmich goal, but a pretty one) against Köln. Bad start for them after the long break. Before the WC they were invincible. Next game at home against Eintracht!
I took the 1.55 for Leipzig at Schalke and I'm a bit mad that I only made it a 100€ bet.
Yes, the away win was very likely.

Hinrunde is over. Since 2011-12 season, after Bundesliga MD 17 roughly six teams within Top 7 remained there by the end of the season.
In parenthesis also the teams and positions that jumped into Top 7 after MD 34.
2011-12 (6/7, 8th → 6th, Stuttgart)
2012-13 (6/7, 10th → 7th, Hamburg)
2013-14 (6/7, 9th → 7th, Mainz)
2014-15 (6/7, 17th → 7th, Dortmund)
2015-16 (6/7, 8th → 6th, Mainz)
2016-17 (6/7, 9th → 7th, Freiburg)
2017-18 (6/7, 14th → 7th, Stuttgart)
2018-19 (6/7, 9th → 4th, Leverkusen)
2019-20 (6/7, 9th → 7th, Freiburg)
2020-21 (6/7, 8th → 5th, Frankfurt)
2021-22 (5/7, 10th → 4th, Leipzig, 8th → 7th, Köln)
2022-23 (6/7? )
In two seasons, being 7th was not enough to gain the european ticket, though.
- In 2012-13, instead of the 7th, Hamburg, it was the 13th, Stuttgart as Pokal runner-up.
- In 2017-18, instead of the 7th, Stuttgart, it was the 8th, Frankfurt, as Pokal champion.
Maybe it's not too late for Leverkusen (8th).

Business as usual in the Berlin derby , while Wolfsburg can be stopped after all.
Freiburg find again the three points, the awful moment of Hoffenheim goes on, and Bochum show once again that they are a home team.

Third consecutive draw for Bayern, this time aganst Eintracht. I have seen the last 10 minutes, Eintracht had a couple of decent chances to win the game.

DFB Pokal R16
1/31: Paderborn-Sttugart, Union-Wolfsburg
2/1: Leipzig-Hoffenheim, Mainz-Bayern
2/7: Sandhausen-Freiburg, Frankfurt-Darmstadt
2/8: Nürnberg-Düsseldorf, Bochum-Dortmund
If any of the Top 6 (in bold) win the Pokal, the 7th of the Bundesliga goes to UECL. I think it's likely that happens.
Terrible from DFB to schedule Dortmund game just a week before the key UCL clash vs Chelsea.

9 of 9 possible points for Dortmund after the break. First two games against underdogs were a bit shaky with late goals, but playing with Haller helps a lot, as we could see now against Leverkusen. Thats why they bought him for a lot of money as Haaland replacement.
