Supercomputer Predicts the 2025/26 Bundesliga Table in Full

September 9, 2025 Oliver Obel

As the Bundesliga gears up for another thrilling campaign, The Bundesliga Rundown returns with bold predictions from Marcus Iredahl. With new managers, big transfers, and club overhauls, the 2025/26 season promises surprises from top to bottom. Here's a comprehensive look at where every club is projected to finish — starting from the bottom.

18. FC St. Pauli (23 pts)

St. Pauli might have the most passionate fanbase in Germany, but the quality on the pitch doesn’t match the support. Despite Alexander Blessin’s tactical mind, the lack of Bundesliga-level firepower is likely to condemn them to a swift relegation.

17. Union Berlin (28 pts)

The fairytale seems to be over. While Steffen Baumgart brings charisma and fight, Union remain toothless in attack and vulnerable at the back, making survival an uphill battle.

16. Hamburg SV (31 pts)

Back in the Bundesliga after years away, but the top flight might be too soon for HSV. Merlin Polzin is a beloved figure, but inexperience and an unsettled squad could see them fall into the relegation play-off.

15. Heidenheim (35 pts)

The Bundesliga’s gritty underdog lives on. Without the distraction of European football, Frank Schmidt’s warriors are expected to dig deep and narrowly avoid the drop again.

14. FC Augsburg (37 pts)

Never bet against Augsburg surviving. Even under a new coach, this team always finds a way to stay afloat — usually ugly, but always effective.

13. Borussia Mönchengladbach (39 pts)

Gladbach continue to frustrate. They oscillate between breathtaking and dreadful, and with key departures, another turbulent mid-table finish awaits.

12. Werder Bremen (41 pts)

Post-Ole Werner Bremen are harder to read. Steffen Horst brings new ideas, and with some clever signings, they should do just enough to remain comfortably clear of the bottom.

11. FC Köln (43 pts)

The squad isn’t star-studded, but Köln have built a solid base with calculated risks. If Ísak Jóhannesson settles quickly, they’ll avoid the drama of a relegation scrap.

10. Mainz 05 (45 pts)

Balancing domestic and European competitions will be a real test. But Bo Henriksen’s high-energy side has enough structure to grind out a respectable top-half finish.

9. Freiburg (48 pts)

With Ritsu Doan and Kiliann Sildillia gone, Freiburg are slightly weakened. But Julian Schuster’s system remains solid, and they should hold their own in both Bundesliga and Europe.

8. VfL Wolfsburg (52 pts)

Quietly having one of the best transfer windows, Wolfsburg look stronger and more balanced. Under Paul Simonis, they could become this season’s surprise package.

7. Hoffenheim (54 pts)

Christian Ilzer is ambitious and fearless — traits Hoffenheim need. With better squad integration, they could sneak into European contention.

6. Bayer Leverkusen (56 pts)

The post-Xabi Alonso era begins with uncertainty. Erik ten Hag will need time to build his team, but Leverkusen’s talent should still secure a top-six finish.

5. VfB Stuttgart (59 pts)

Fresh off a DFB Pokal win, Stuttgart have real momentum. Retaining most of their core will help them sustain a strong push for Europe.

4. Eintracht Frankfurt (63 pts)

One of the best-run clubs in Germany, Frankfurt continue to rise. Even without Ekitike, their project under Toppmöller looks poised for another leap forward.
