Dortmund have made many new signings and will look to continue their progress under Thomas Tuchel, whilst a surprise team for this season could be RB Leipzig. It\u2019s their first time in the Bundesliga, but their financial muscle means that they\u2019re here to stay and could look to upset the big teams in their debut campaign. Let\u2019s have a look at the title contenders and how they\u2019re shaping up for the season ahead.<\/p>\n<h3>Bayern Munich<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Major Signings:<\/strong> Mats Hummels (Dortmund, \u00a329.75 million), Renato Sanches (Benfica, \u00a329.75 million)<\/p>\n<h4>Pre-season Form<\/h4>\n<p>Played 6, won 4, drawn 1, lost 1.

Carlo Ancelotti has taken over as manager in Munich, but with the league as good as wrapped up for the Bavarians, the Italian manager will have eyes on the Champions League. As if their squad wasn\u2019t strong enough already, it\u2019s been boosted by the arrival of Mats Hummels, whilst Renato Sanches was one of the young stars of Euro 2016.<br \/>\n<strong>Prediction:<\/strong> 1st (By a country mile)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJQUl1mh5nI\/\" target=\"_blank\">A photo posted by FC Bayern Official (@fcbayern)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2016-08-18T15:26:34+00:00\">Aug 18, 2016 at 8:26am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Bayer Leverkusen<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Major Signings:<\/strong> Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim, \u00a317 million), Julian Baumgartlinger (Mainz, \u00a33.4 million)<\/p>\n<h4>Pre-season Form<\/h4>\n<p>Played 7, won 5, drawn 2.<\/p>\n<h4>Key Fixtures<\/h4>\n<p>Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Bayer Leverkusen (27th August)<br \/>\n Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Dortmund (1st October)<br \/>\n Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen (26th November)<br \/>\n Schalke vs. Bayer Leverkusen (10th December)<br \/>\n Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Monchengladbach (28th January)<br \/>\n Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen (4th March)<br \/>\n Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich (15th April)<br \/>\n Bayer Leverkusen vs. Schalke (29th April)<\/p>\n<h4>Team Quality<\/h4>\n<p>Leverkusen finished last season in third place and qualified for the Champions League.

Roger Schmidt has a miserly defence at his disposal and pace on the counter-attack, but his Leverkusen squad is a level below that of Bayern\u2019s and Dortmund\u2019s in terms of quality.<br \/>\n <strong>Prediction:<\/strong> 3rd<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 36.5277777778% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJYS9ZwjKHB\/\" target=\"_blank\">A photo posted by Bayer 04 Leverkusen (@bayer04fussball)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2016-08-21T17:46:14+00:00\">Aug 21, 2016 at 10:46am PDT<\/time>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Borussia Dortmund<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Major Signings:<\/strong> Andr\u00e9 Sch\u00fcrrle (Wolfsburg, \u00a325.5 million), Mario G\u00f6tze (Bayern Munich, \u00a318.7 million), Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9\u00a0 (Rennes, \u00a312.75 million), Sebastian Rode (\u00a310.2 million), Rapha\u00ebl\u00a0Guerreiro (Lorient, \u00a310.2 million), Marc Bartra (Barcelona, \u00a36.8 million), Emre Mor (Nordsjaelland, \u00a35.95 million)<\/p>\n<h4>Pre-season Form<\/h4>\n<p>Played 9, won 5, drawn 2, lost 2.
