Bye Bye, Bayer & Historic Home Team Curse!

The Leverkusen Era is coming to an end. Marred by ineptitude and injuries, Leverkusen goes down over two games against Bayern Munich in the UCL. Meanwhile, Dortmund finds its UCL form again, with Maxi Beier producing his first marquee BVB moment and Emre Can showing balls of steel. In the Bundesliga, home-field advantage is no longer a factor, as no home team secured a win for the second week in a row! The biggest winner of this malaise? Mainz 05 – the Rhine Hessians jump their cross-river rivals from Frankfurt in the standings. Can they hold on to a top-four finish?
