Kompany signs fresh Bayern Munich contract extension until 2029

Vincent Kompany has extended his contract as coach of Bayern Munich by two years until 2029. The Bundesliga champions announced the great news on Tuesday.

However, the Belgian reclaimed the German title for the Bavarians in his debut season at the club. “It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer and that I know the club well,” former Manchester City captain Kompany said in a statement. “It’s been a great experience so far. We’ve started on a wonderful journey. Let’s keep working hard and celebrate much more success!” The 39-year-old has Bayern flying with 11 wins in 11 games this season, sitting atop the Champions League and Bundesliga tables.

Roma clinch tense Derby della Capitale with Pellegrini winner

Gian Piero Gasperini marked his first Derby della Capitale in charge of Roma with a battling 1-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The 163rd Serie A meeting between the eternal city rivals was every bit as fiery as expected, opening with crunching tackles and little attacking fluency. Lazio threatened first through former Roma striker Pedro, who blazed over before setting up Nuno Tavares for another miss. Roma, meanwhile, struggled to impose themselves until Mile Svilar tipped over Mattia Zaccagni’s effort, and Andrea Romagnoli narrowly missed with a header from the ensuing corner. But it was the Giallorossi who struck first, capitalizing on a Lazio mistake. Devyne Rensch  robbed Tavares deep in his own box, Matías Soulé picked up the loose ball, and Lorenzo Pellegrini buried a composed first-time finish into the bottom corner on 38 minutes. Roma held firm from there, seeing out the heated clash to take the bragging rights in Gasperini’s debut derby.

Kane hat-trick fires Bayern past Hoffenheim

Bayern Munich maintained their flawless beginning to the Bundesliga season as Harry Kane struck his 10th hat-trick for the club in a dominant 4-1 win over TSG Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim, who had made their best three-game start since 2017/18, looked confident early on. Fisnik Asllani  came agonizingly close to punishing Manuel Neuer’s mistake, hitting the post from close range, while Bernardo missed another golden chance with a header just wide. Bayern, unbeaten in their last 10 Bundesliga away fixtures (W7, D3), weathered the storm and grew into the game before halftime. Lennart Karl and Nicolas Jackson forced Oliver Baumann into saves, but the breakthrough came through Kane, who buried a slick first-time finish from Karl’s low corner to put the visitors ahead. From there,  Bayern’s momentum never slowed, with Kane taking full control to deliver yet another hat-trick performance that secured all three points and kept the defending champions top of the table.

Leadership void hurting Dortmund as old problems resurface

Borussia Dortmund’s bright start to the season is already being clouded by old problems. There are lapses in key moments exposing a lack of leadership just three games into the Bundesliga campaign. The Black and Yellows, who host Wolfsburg on Sunday, have already shown a worrying tendency to collapse late in matches. In their season opener at St Pauli, Dortmund let a 3-1 lead slip in the final minutes. They conceded twice in quick succession before rookie defender Filippo Mane was sent off. Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Juventus provided a painful repeat. Dortmund led three times, only to concede twice in the dying moments and settle for a 4-4 draw. Tensions within the squad are also surfacing. During a recent Bundesliga match, striker Serhou Guirassy and defender Ramy Bensebaini argued over who should take a late penalty. This forced head coach Niko Kovac to step in. The recurring criticism remains the same: Dortmund are once again undermined by a lack of maturity and leadership on the pitch.

The Bavarians are flying at the top of the table, while Hoffenheim are looking to build momentum after a bright start. MatchPlug brings you the odds and prediction for TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich. Betting Preview for TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich Betting on TSG Hoffenheim 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 6.20 1XBet Over/Under: Over 3.5 Hoffenheim have made a lively start to the Bundesliga campaign, sitting sixth with a mix of solid attacking displays. Last weekend, they defeated Union Berlin 4-2 at home, underlining their ability to score freely. However, their defensive record remains a concern, particularly when facing top-tier opposition. Their record against Bayern is poor, having lost heavily in recent meetings, and Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men will need to tighten up if they want to avoid another rout. Still, with home advantage, Hoffenheim will believe they can trouble the champions. Betting on Bayern Munich 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.40 1XBet Over/Under: Over 3.5 Bayern Munich remain dominant in both domestic and European competition. They beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League during the week, with Harry Kane once again on the scoresheet as he continues his blistering run of form. Vincent Kompany’s side have been clinical in attack and efficient enough at the back to keep control of games. With their squad depth and momentum, Bayern are heavy favourites to extend their winning streak here. MatchPlug Prediction for TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich Hoffenheim are always capable of springing a surprise, especially with their attacking talent, but their leaky defence could cost them dearly against Bayern’s firepower. With Kane in unstoppable form and Bayern riding a wave of confidence, the visitors look set for another strong win. Final Prediction: Bayern Munich Moneyline

Betting Preview for Borussia Dortmund vs VfL Wolfsburg Betting On Borussia Dortmund Borussia Dortmund have started the season in strong form, sitting second in the Bundesliga table. Their thrilling 4-4 draw with Juventus in the UEFA Champions League midweek showed both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerability. Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy have been central to their attacking success, and playing at the Signal Iduna Park gives them a significant edge. Dortmund have also been dominant in recent head-to-heads against Wolfsburg, and with their firepower, they will fancy their chances of another win. Betting On VfL Wolfsburg Wolfsburg come into this game in eighth place, following a 3-3 draw with FC Köln last weekend. Their attacking form has been promising, but inconsistency and defensive lapses have cost them points. Facing Dortmund away will be a big test, especially given their poor recent record in this fixture. The visitors will need a disciplined defensive performance and clinical finishing if they are to come away with anything from this trip.

Football Prediction Today: Bayern Munich vs Hamburg

It’s another exciting Bundesliga clash as Bayern Munich host Hamburg at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Read our preview of the Bayern Munich vs Hamburg game. The match is scheduled for 6:30 PM WAT and promises plenty of action as the defending champions look to extend their winning start, while newly-promoted Hamburg search for their first victory of the season. Match Plug has the best preview featuring the analysis, odds and insights on Bayern Munich vs Hamburg. Betting Preview for Bayern Munich vs Hamburg Betting On Bayern Munich Bayern Munich have started the 2025-26 campaign strongly with back-to-back 3-2 wins, though Vincent Kompany will want to see a more disciplined defensive display from his side. Their attack, however, remains devastating, with Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz, and Michael Olise already among the goals. At the Allianz Arena, Bayern’s record against Hamburg is brutal. Their last four home meetings ended 6-0, 8-0, 5-0, and 8-0 in favor of the Bavarians, underlining their dominance. Despite missing Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Jamal Musiala, Die Bayern are overwhelming favorites. Betting On Hamburg Hamburg’s return to the Bundesliga has been far from smooth. After a respectable 0-0 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach on opening day, they were beaten 2-0 at home by St. Pauli. Their struggles in front of goal (yet to score this season) and defensive lapses suggest a difficult night awaits at the Allianz Arena. Facing a team that has humiliated them repeatedly in recent years, Hamburg will need to show resilience and hope Bayern are wasteful in front of goal to keep the scoreline respectable. MatchPlug Prediction on Bayern Munich vs Hamburg Bayern Munich are not only the superior side but also historically ruthless against Hamburg, especially at home. Expect goals aplenty for the hosts, with their attacking trio in top form. Final Prediction: Bayern Munich Moneyline

The match is scheduled for 13:30 PM WAT and promises to be an interesting watch as Heidenheim chase their first points of the season, while Dortmund look to extend their unbeaten run. Match Plug has the best preview featuring the analysis, odds and insights. Betting Preview for Heidenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Betting On Heidenheim Heidenheim survived relegation last season via the playoffs but have started this campaign poorly with back-to-back defeats. They lost 3-1 at home to Wolfsburg and 2-0 away to RB Leipzig, continuing a worrying run of five home league games without a win. Goal-scoring is also a problem, with the side failing to find the net in three of their last five Bundesliga outings. Betting On Borussia Dortmund Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten so far this season, having drawn 3-3 with St. Pauli before bouncing back with a dominant 3-0 win over Union Berlin. Edin Terzić’s side look sharp in attack, scoring six goals in two games, though defensive lapses in the opener remain a concern. Dortmund have also beaten Heidenheim in the last two meetings and carry strong momentum into this clash. MatchPlug Prediction on Heidenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Heidenheim are winless in five home matches and look short of firepower, while Dortmund have been scoring freely and are unbeaten in 10 Bundesliga games, winning eight. With BVB’s attacking form, this game looks set for goals. Final Prediction: Borussia Dortmund Moneyline
