The Leipzig-based club reclaimed its position in the Bundesliga last season. They finished third overall, with only Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund collecting more points. However, in the new campaign they have started alternating home wins with away defeats. They did manage to thrash Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0.
The Eindhoven side remained dominant in their homeland. In the spring, they won the Eredivisie for the third consecutive time. But they were thrashed by AZ in the Dutch Super Cup. They have already dropped points in the league as well, losing to Twente. They did, however, beat Heerenveen 2-0.
