STILL ALIVE

Cologne: The newcomer enjoys a surprising upswing with three wins in the last three games. With coach Markus Gisdol the "FC" has discovered its fighting heart but still has to travel over a bumpy road.

Hertha: Juergen Klinsmann is doing small but significant steps. Stability was the former German national coach's main goal. Plans to create a "big city club" are waiting. Things seem to work out well.

Bayern: Never forget about the particular Bavarian DNA. Having changed the coach from Niko Kovac to Hansi Flick was the right decision. The former German national team assistant remains head coach until the end of the season, according to a recent announcement.

The German record champion has the best chances to win the title again. "It's a typical pattern of Bayern to fight back," said former national keeper Oliver Kahn.
