In the final Gegenpressing podcast of 2024, Manu and Stefan are back to discuss matchday 15 of the Bundesliga. They begin by discussing Bayern Munichâs impressive 5-1 win over RB Leipzig and how Vincent Kompanyâs side completely dominated their opponents in their final test of the year. The pair then move on to Bayer Leverkusen, whose 5-1 victory over Freiburg was just the latest proof that Xabi Alonsoâs team are still well and truly in this seasonâs title race. Then, finally, Dortmundâs 3-1 win over Wolfsburg is broken down and analysed, as Nuri Sahinâs side picked up their first away win in the Bundesliga since April and perhaps showed some hopeful signs ahead of the new year.

In the final Bundesliga matchday preview of 2024, Manu and Stefan sit down to discuss the biggest talking points ahead of matchday 15. After doing a 45-minute deep-dive into Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig on the bonus show, the pair take a look at Eintracht Frankfurt v Mainz and discuss why Bo Henriksen has perhaps been the best head coach in the Bundesliga this season. They then move on to Bayer Leverkusen v Freiburg, where Xabi Alonsoâs side will be hoping to pick up their first major scalp at home this season and Julian Schuster will be looking to cause an almighty upset. The podcast then ends on Wolfsburg v Dortmund, which should be a dramatic end to the year. If Nuri Sahinâs side fail to win, they risk ending 2024 as low as tenth place, while Ralph HasenhĂŒttlâs side could be eyeing up European qualification with all three points.

On this week's Gegenpressing podcast Manu and Stefan are back to break down all the major talking points from matchday 14 of the Bundesliga season. They begin the show by discussing RB Leipzig's 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday and how Marco Rose's team seem to have not only saved his bacon before Christmas but also remain in contention for a potential title challenge in 2025. They then discuss another poor performance from Borussia Dortmund, as they were held to a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim. That's a third, successive draw in the Bundesliga for Nuri Sahin's side and there's very little to suggest that things will improve before the winter break. Elsewhere, Werder Bremen beat St Pauli 2-0 and continue to impress. So much so that the pair discuss whether Ole Werner is the Bundesliga's most under-rated head coach and is deserving of more praise. And, to round up the show, they then break down Mainz's impressive win over Bayern Munich and how it underlined the major flaws in Vincent Kompany's team.
