The football blog for fans of all clubs
It has been several weeks since it was announced that Goretzka is going to make the switch to Bayern at the end of the season which wasn’t received very well by Schalke fans. This matchday marks his visit to his soon-to-be new club. Action starts on Friday (8.30 CET) when Augsburg visits Leipzig. After beating […]
If you’d have to name three teams who are in great form right now that list would most likely include Köln who collected 10 points from the last four games putting them “just” four points behind 16th place. Friday night (8.30 CET) they play against Dortmund. Dortmund’s football under the regime of has not been […]
If anyone had any doubts about Bayern winning the title they have should have gone after the last two weeks with Bayern putting more points between them and 2nd-placed Leverkusen than they managed to put between themselves and 16th-placed Bremen. Looking at the table right now there is a whole host of possible candidates for […]
It’s January the 19th 2018 and this doesn’t only mark the start of the second Bundesliga matchday of 2018, it’ll also most likely mark the first Dortmund game in a Post-Aubameyang era who seems to be on his way to Arsenal. When Dortmund travels to Berlin on Friday night (8.30 CET) they are going to […]
This winter break has been the shortest one in the history of the league but with the Premier League going crazy it always feels like it has been months when league football does return. Leverkusen and Bayern kick things off at Friday (8.30 CET) in what tends to be a close and intense match that […]
We mainly talked about the good stories of the season so far but obviously – there are quite a few bad stories. Today we will focus on 4 teams that are facing relegation. Köln will not be one of those four clubs, simply because the chances that they could be saved from relegation at this […]
After we talked about the teams that could qualify for the Champions League last week we will now take a look at the teams who could just not make it and one very interesting team that are to be found in the mid-table regions. The first one is Leipzig. After a horrendously good first season […]
It’s just one week until the winter break ends and it promises to be a RĂĽckrunde of the most thrilling nature. Yes, Bayern is clear favourite to win the league and betting for that will most likely be suspended before February ends but below that the league is wide open. Today we’ll take a look […]
Apart from Bayern being the best team of the league by quite a margin – eleven points to be exact – this season in the Bundesliga has been extraordinarily close so far. Schalke who finished the Hinrunde as the worst 2nd placed team since the inception of the Three-Point-rule and they two points ahead of […]
This matchday marks the last one in 2017. It has been quite eventful this year even though Bayern dominated throughout the whole year. Köln went from a team that qualified for the Europa League to a team that is all but relegated and Dortmund went through three managers. Action kicks off on Friday (8.30) when […]
It’s only two days since the last matchday of the Bundesliga and the next one is already around the corner. Since Sunday Borussia Dortmund has replaced Peter Bosz with Peter Stöger who only won three points in his 14 games at Köln – he could already get double that prior to the winter break with […]
It’s the last week of Bundesliga football and this one is packed with three matchdays in the space of 9 days – also called Englische Woche in Germany because it’s a common occurrence on the island. Everything kicks off this friday (at 8.30) with a match between Stuttgart and Leverkusen. Stuttgart are 13th but the […]
It’s the week after the crazy 4-4 Revierderby, it’s the week after Jupp Heynckes lost his first game in charge of Bayern and it’s the week after Hannover got smashed 3-0 by Hamburg. Hamburg open the matchday (8.30 on Friday) when they travel all the way across Germany to Freiburg who finally won another game […]
This week the European journey ended for some German teams. Both Hoffenheim and Hertha lost their games and have no way of progressing with one game to spare. One team that still has a chance to make it into the next round is Köln. After beating Arsenal they are now 2nd and any win in […]
After two international friendlies with questionable relevance that both ended in draws it’s back to league football for the Bundesliga and this time with no stops until March – well apart from the winter break. Crisis-shaken former league leaders Borussia Dortmund start the matchday today at 8.30 when they visit Stuttgart without Aubameyang who is […]
It’s the week after Champions and Europa League again. The Europa League games went surprisingly well but Dortmund and Leipzig are all but out of the Champions League and will most likely drop into the Europa League. This matchday, however, has a game to offer that is better than most Europa League games: Dortmund v […]
After an eventful Pokal week that saw Bremen and Köln win games and Leipzig taking Bayern all the way to a penalty shootout, it’s time for a weekend of league football that sees both Köln and Bremen face tough opposition. Today at 8.30 everything kicks off with a Rhein-Main-Derby between Mainz and Frankfurt. For Frankfurt, […]
After a mixed week of European success (hey, at least not every German Europa League team looked bad this week), it’s back to the Bundesliga today. It all kicks off with a match between Schalke – who would rather not be able to play on a Friday at 8.30pm after a Champions/Europa League week – […]
After a – in terms of international breaks – rather eventful two weeks, league football is finally back again. Things are kicked off (Friday 8:30 pm CEST) by Stuttgart who host dead-last Köln. Stuttgart had a mixed start but they are currently on as many points as matches which is more than often enough to […]
This week has been a terrible one for German clubs on the European stage. Every single of the six Bundesliga teams in Champions and Europa League lost their matches and the Champions League teams did so in very convincing fashion in Bayern’s case leading to Ancelotti losing his job. The matchday starts with a match […]
