After the winter break, Bayern club continues to fail to show good results, this time failing to beat the underdogs Bochum at home and playing to a goalless draw. Taking advantage of this, Stuttgart players rose to third place, pushing Munich club down the ladder.
This season, defending their title in a highly competitive environment, Bayern club created several opportunities to score against Bochum, but the visitors' goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobny put on a good performance and kept his goal dry, helping his team take an important point. It is worth noting that out of three home matches ending in draws, Bayern failed twice to beat opponents from the bottom of the league table.
Stuttgart took advantage of their competitors' stumbles, winning 3-2 at home against Arminia and climbing to third place. After a precise header by M. Gomez at the beginning of the match, Stuttgart players had the advantage, but the visitors managed to equalize the score in the middle of the half.
The hosts started the second half more successfully again, and soon after goals from Cacau and M. Gomez from close range, Stuttgart led 3-1. The visitors softened the score with an 85th-minute penalty, but M. Borges's dismissal soon dashed all hopes of fighting for a point.
The match between Wolfsburg and Eintracht ended in a 2-2 draw after a back-and-forth battle. The draw means Wolfsburg has still not won a game in their last eight matches.
