Germany’s Bundesliga schedule will continue on Friday, as every team is set for another round of games for the 2022/2023 season. The league has been exciting so far.
The next round of games is the 15th out of their 34 matches to be played. Also, it will be the last game for every league team before the FIFA World cup tournament’s commencement.
Leagues worldwide will suspend their matches for the prestigious tournament, starting on the 20th of November, and will hold for one month.
Bundesliga Standings
We can see teams at the top spot of the Bundesliga standings that have stayed in that position for a while, and there are still more matches to be played before we can know how the table will end for this season.
Bayern Munich is still the only team to have lost one match, while others have lost at least three. Union Berlin and Freiburg are the two teams behind Bayern Munich, sharing the same points, and their performance has been excellent since the start of the season, while the fourth team holding the number four position is Eintracht Frankfurt.

Although both teams have been struggling in their last three games, we expect them to go for the win in this match.
So let’s look at the game and give our Hertha Berlin vs Cologne picks as we preview both teams that are set to fight for three points.
