Borussia Dortmund - RB Leipzig 1:2
The last time Dortmund recorded eight consecutive victories was in the 2011/12 season which ended in the club's last championship, under Jurgen Klopp.
Tonight the yellow-blacks equaled this achievement (the team had such a streak in 2021 as well, but it was divided between two different seasons) and reached 10 consecutive victories in all formats, when on the way Marco Reus equaled Michael Zorek as the king of Dortmund's goals in the professional era, with 159 gates
The captain gave Edin Trezic's team the lead with a successful penalty in the 21st minute, Chan Hakapil (39) said with a beautiful kick from outside the box and Emil Forsberg Zimek (74), but it was not enough for Leipzig to save the interrupted two-game winning streak.

Stuttgart - Bayern Munich (Saturday, 19:30, Sport1)
A meeting of extremes between Stuttgart, between the host who only wants to survive and the eternal champion who knows that only a victory, probably, will keep her at the top.
Bayern impressed with 0:3 over Union Berlin in a summit battle in the previous round in a game where they enjoyed the return of Sadio Mane, who came on as a substitute and may start this time.
Stuttgart suffered an embarrassing loss to last-place Schalke in the previous round, but ended in a 2-2 draw with Bayern in the last two meetings.
The injured Leroy Sane is doubtful for this game.
They will try to recover from the defeat against Bayern.

Union Berlin - FC Cologne (Saturday, 16:30)
Union Berlin's great run, which kicked Ajax out of the Europa League, was stopped in the last round with 3:0 at Bayern Munich, the champion, and now, against a mid-table team, they would like to return to winning to continue to pressure the leaders Bayern and Dortmund, who are currently only three points ahead of them.
Union and Bayern are the only teams that have yet to be defeated at home, Cologne won only once all season away and also lost in their last four visits to Berlin.
