Vincent Kompany’s unbeaten Bundesliga start to life at Bayern Munich came to an end last weekend.
The Bavarian club remain the leaders in the Bundesliga standings, but a stern reminder was issued that they are still far away from German glory after losing 2-1 at Mainz.
RB Leipzig appear to be one of the most interesting contenders for the top prize, and they have rediscovered their form in recent weeks after winning their last two.
Most recently, they secured a deserved 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Red Bull Arena.
