Some really decent matches this weekend, the most notable being Leverkusen v Bayern and also Dortmund v Hertha.

Currently 0-0 in the Freiburg v Gladbach game after 10 mins.

Gladbach started brightly and have had some nice chances. SHould probably have gone 1-0 down with the chance that Waldschmidt had for Freiburg.

An entertaining game so far.

Kinda watching it on sky bet stream, gladbach looked the better team for the first 10mins for sure.

Didn't see the chance for Freiburg. 0-0 written all over it.

Think there will definitely be a goal or two IMO. No way it stays goalless.

Yeah good match. Good chances for either side. Gladbach probably the closest to scoring. I predict 0-1/0-2 Gladbach in the second half I think their ability on the counter will tell.

Red card for Plea now. Freiburg have defended superbly and grown into the game very well. For all of BMG's huffing and puffing they've just had no cutting edge tonight.

the other Santa Teresa
Bayern - 67 - Leverkusen, Gladbach, Bremen, Freiburg, Wolfsburg
Dortmund - 60 - Hertha, Düsseldorf, Mainz, Leipzig, Hoffenheim
Leipzig - 58 - Paderborn, Hoffenheim, Düsseldorf, BVB, Ausgburg
Gladbach - 56 - Freiburg (0:1), Bayern, Wolfsburg, Paderborn, Hertha
Leverkusen - 56 - Bayern, Schalke, Köln, Hertha, Mainz

Bayern is more or less guaranteed to win the league. To get an exciting finish, Bayern has to drop at least 4 points against Leverkusen and Gladbach.
Hertha are currently the in-form team of the league and they still have to play against Dortmund, Gladbach and Leverkusen. Maybe they get something out of these three games and throw a curve-ball. The remaining game between Dortmund and Leipzig could decide who finishes 2nd/3rd. On paper Gladbach has the hardest run-in and they already lost their game against Freiburg. They'll also have to play away from home against Bayern.

BT are showing the Leverkusen game with crowd noise. It works well. Hopefully they and Sky do it for the PL games

First time I’m hearing it - is it just the channel adding it rather than it playing at the stadium? I agree though, it’s working much better than I thought it would.

Bayern can't get a grip of the game. Leverkusen move the ball around really well.

Don't know it's got a fake feel to it like FIFA or something. Would we still here home crowd banging the drums if their team is getting pummelled 5-0 at home? Most fans would be subdued when that happens. Do the players hear this too or just the viewers at home?

I'm not sure. It feels like it is being played through the stadium speakers but not sure.

I may have misheard but it sounded like there was some 'cheers' when Bayern scored just now.

What happened to Havertz? Bayern already tapped him up like Gotze.

I honestly hate this fake crowd nonsense, would much rather prefer the raw noise of the players and staff. Atleast it fits the mood of the match, although to their credit the broadcasters are trying to sounds based on the situation.

The defending on display here is diabolical.
