Bundesliga Matchday 27 Lookahead: Top of the Table Pulls Away

Plenty about the Bundesliga's return behind closed doors last weekend was unfamiliar, but there was one set of outcomes that was absolutely typical.

Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over Union Berlin, paired with RB Leipzig's draw, a pair of wins from Borussias Dortmund and Monchengladbach and an impressive Monday showing from Bayer Leverkusen continued the trend of those five clubs pulling away from the pack. The gap between fifth and sixth is 11 points–the same gap that exists between sixth and 13th–and Hertha Berlin, which will kick off the matchday 27 slate Friday at home vs. Union Berlin, was the only lower-half team in the table to win as the league returned from its coronavirus-induced suspension.
